XML Datasource - Do Not Encode Question Mark [message #1021680]

Hi,

I'm creating a report that accesses data from XML output. I've entered the source in "Data Sources"->"Property Binding"->"XML Data Source File:" However, the report doesn't run correctly as BIRT seems to urlencode the question mark in the URL (i.e. 'http://datasource?param1=x' becomes 'http://datasource%EFparam1=x' )

I've tried wrapping the URI in JavaScript (decodeURIComponent, decodeURI) but I think the built-in encodeURL is happening after my code and prior to running the query.

How can I get this to run without BIRT encoding my question marks?

Thanks!

Does it work if you put something like the following in your beforeOpen script on the datasource?:
this.setExtensionProperty("FILELIST", "http://datasource?param1=x")

Just tried that and, unfortunately, it doesn't work. It still appears to be converting the ? to %3F. I tried this in, as you suggested, the beforeOpen script on the datasource. Is there a later point in the query process to set this? Any other suggestions? Thanks for any help you can provide!

I got this error as-well. The problem was that I passed strings to the url that needed encoding so BIRT encoded the whole string. so instead i wrapped my params['param'] with encodeURIComponent function

Thanks,
Chaim
