URL Parameters [message #368813]

I am using the ODA interface and want to retrieve some xml data from
another site for my birt report. I need to add some parameters to the url
like this.

http://localhost:8983/reports/frameset?__report=xmldocs_v7.r ptdesign&q=expensetype_s:Hotel
AND projectid_s:hippo

The query parameter gets appended to the URL of the ODA datasource. I am
sure the spaces here are giving me problems. I have also tried

http://localhost:8983/reports/frameset?__report=xmldocs_v7.r ptdesign&q=expensetype_s:Hotel%20AND%20projectid_s:hippo

When I don't put the query parameter on the URL and Birt requests the
parameter, I enter expensetype_s:Hotel%20AND%20projectid_s:hippo and it
works.

Any ideas?

I am experiencing this same problem.

Has anyone found a way to build a URL using a report parameter than contains
spaces without having enter a %20 instead of a space when entering the
report parameter?

For some reason my newsreader didn't post my last reply here, but you must
have received it since you replied via e-mail to me. I'll re-post some of
your reply here for context:

<<< QUOTE
I'm not building the URL in my web application. I'm building the URL in
BIRT in the Property Binding for an XML data source as follows:
params["dbUrl"] +
" agtDereferenceXmlViewDataForDocumentCountReport?OpenAgent&am p;viewName= " +
params["leftDocumentView"] + "&beginDate=" + params["beginDate"] +
"&endDate=" + params["endDate"] + "&staffOrganization=" +
params["staffOrganization"] + "&isAdmin=" + params["isAdmin"]
QUOTE

In that case, in the expression builder you can use the Native JavaScript
Functions -> Global -> encodeURI( uri:string ) function. There is also
encodeURIComponent().

Documentation on each function:
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_encodeURI.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_encodeuricomponent.asp

How you might use encodeURI:
encodeURI(
params["dbUrl"] +
" agtDereferenceXmlViewDataForDocumentCountReport?OpenAgent&am p;viewName= " +
params["leftDocumentView"] + "&beginDate=" + params["beginDate"] +
"&endDate=" + params["endDate"] + "&staffOrganization=" +
params["staffOrganization"] + "&isAdmin=" + params["isAdmin"]
);
