I just tried the solution presented in message #786618 to accomplish a redirect upon an error condition (bad DB username / password). This seems to work fine from the Designer, but when I deploy the report to Tomcat, I get the following (note that the code resides in the onCreate event of a table (id=935).

Any idea what I need to do differently to make this work from the web viewer (deployed to Tomcat)?

TypeError: Cannot call method "getTask" of null (/report/body/table[@id="935"]/method[@name="onCreate"]#5) (Element ID:935)

birt.core.JavascriptCommonError ( 1 time(s) )
detail : org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: There are errors evaluating script "var taskid = 
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getAttribute("attributeBean").getTaskId();


var mytask = 
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getSession().getAttribute("tasks").get(taskid).getTask();


if( !mytask.getErrors().isEmpty() ){
//you could iterate the errors here as well
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("myerrors",true);
}else{
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("myerrors", false);
}":
TypeError: Cannot call method "getTask" of null (/report/body/table[@id="935"]/method[@name="onCreate"]#5) (Element ID:935)

What version of BIRT are you using and what app server. This worked
fine on my deployment. Also are you using the viewer?

My test env.: win 7, Eclipse 3.7.0, Tomcat 7.

I'm not sure what was up. I was under a bit of a deadline so I ended up un-jar-ing viewservlets.jar, then I added a big blurb in the paramter box prompt message about how 'the red error message means that you've entered your username and password incorrectly -- use your browser's back button if this happens' and the re-jar-ed . . . this was good enough.

I would like to work this out for future projects, though.

Even better would be a way to edit the message text, catch the actual error at this level, etc.

Can you log an enhancement for this?
