Custom Parameter Page in Run Time [message #891889]

Is anyone currently using the birt tag library with the 3.7.2 run time?

I have an application that was previously running fine with 2.6.2. I've recently upgraded all reports to work with 3.7.2 but the parameters from the custom parameter page are not being sent across.

There seems to be some strange state going on but I don't understand it yet. Sometimes a page will have parameters applied to a previously viewed report but it will stay with those applied no matter what params are applied or removed after that.

If anyone else has this working, could you let me know.

Dave,

I logged a bug on this a while back, but on 3.7.2 I get viewing session
is not available or has expired. Is this the error you are getting? I
may not have cross context setup properly. What settings did you use?

As a work around you could try adding your custom parameter page to the
viewer and then reference it from your app using an iFrame?

<iframe src ="/WebViewer/customparmeexample.jsp" width="100%" height="600">

</iframe>

Hi Jason,

I've not seen the viewing session not available message. My workaround was to gather all the selected parameters (using js) from the inputs generated by the custom tags, construct a url from that and refresh the iframe containing the report with that url, instead of submitting the birt params form.

It works fine, but is obviously not how it was intended to be used, or how it was working when I was using 2.6.2

Have you tried to run report after removing *.rptconfig file?

Because values from this file will be displayed in the parameter page.
