Parameter Validation using validate() Javascript function [message #191412]

Greetings,

I have a requirement to validate input report parameters. I noticed
that each report parameter in BIRT has a validate() method associated
with it to do custom validation. Unfortunately I have not gotten this
to work. The Scripting spec says that the validate method will get
called before the report beings to be rendered, however based on my
experience I have never seen this occur in BIRT 2.1.

My question is what do I need to do to get the Javascript validate
method for each BIRT parameter to be executed? If anyone has a simple
example that would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This particular feature is not in BIRT yet. It has been logged as an
enhancement request.
See bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=132883
