I'm missing something that I suspect must be obvious. Using the report
engine API, I have no problem running and rendering a report. I also see
calls to find out all kinds of information about report parameters through
the IGetParameterDefinitionTask. What I don't see is the mechanism for
setting a parameter.
Let's say I schedule a report to run every Sunday night to calculate the
past week's activity. In my scheduler code (Java), I know the start and
end times, which I want to map to '?' parameters in my SQL. What chain of
events has to happen?

Thanks! I'll have a look in that direction.
(A "BIRT Cookbook" would be wonderful. There's a big contrast between the
helpfulness of the report design tutorials and the bare API listings in the
programming sections of Eclipse help books.)
