Hi,

I'm just starting to use the adword api with Java.

One of the things I need to do is to get the performance of certain 
keywords in our account (click, impressions etc) over a period of time and 
then carry out some analysis on this data.

It seems to me that the prescribed way to do this is using the 
ReportDefinitionService. However, as far as I can tell the end result of 
this is that you have to choose either  to receive the report in TSV, CSV 
or XML formats as a giant string.

Then, one has to go through the effort of parsing this response so that you 
can populate your local data structures (let's say we have 
KeywordPerformance objects, where they would have clicks, impressions etc 
attributes).

Surely there is a better way to do this using the Java client library? Is 
there no way to receive a report as a collection of Java objects, one 
object per report-row??
