Hi,

in a portlet tomcat context, API 3.7.1, i use this below code to retrieve parameters definition.As shown in the code, i use task.setLocale(request.getLocale()) to manage localization. I have an issue with parameters groups prompt, it seems it doesnt use the correct language value (it uses my tomcat's locale, instead of request.getLocale()), whereas scalar parameters prompt are correct.
Anyone used these group prompt successfully with api?
Should i log a bugzilla entry or am i doing something wrong?

EDIT: i tried my report with WebBirtViewer, and this kind of url:

http://localhost:8080/birt/frameset?__report=report/welcome.rptdesign&__locale=en

I got exactly the same issue than in my portlet: In parameters Dialog, Viewer displays scalar with "en" locale values, but parameters groups with "fr" values Sad

Thanks!

        IGetParameterDefinitionTask task = birtReportEngine.createGetParameterDefinitionTask(this.getRptDesign()); 
        task.setLocale(request.getLocale());
        Collection params = task.getParameterDefns( true );
        
        Iterator iter = params.iterator( );
        while ( iter.hasNext( ) ) {         
            IParameterDefnBase param = (IParameterDefnBase) iter.next( );
            if ( param instanceof IParameterGroupDefn ){
                IParameterGroupDefn group = (IParameterGroupDefn) param;
 		Iterator iterGroup = group.getContents( ).iterator( );      
               // -------> group.getPromptText() and param.getPromptText() returns 'fr_FR' value, wich is my desktop local

		}                
            }else{
               // -------> param.getPromptText()  returns the request.getLocale() value, which is the expected behavior
            }
             
         }//end while
        task.close();

This does appear to be a bug. Can you open a bugzilla request?
