Hi,
How can I pass parameters e.g. reportTitle, projectName programmatically to
the WebViewer from an RCP application and avoid the Parameters dialog from
popping up?

Thanks.

Hi Arvind:

I am new to this, but I had read that you can pass the report parameters via
"get" URL encoding. For example, a report with a parameter of "name" could
be set with a url such as:

http://host:port/app?name=value

Again, I am new to this. But this is my understanding.

yes.sure you can make it.
just declare the parameter in your rptdesign, and at the script, initiaze
method, declare it... like param["yourparametername"]

I didn't quite follow your suggestion.
Here is how I am invoking the WebViewer from my wizard...

String projectName = m_reportPage.getProjectName();
String reportTitle = m_reportPage.getReportTitle();
String reportDesignFileName =
m_reportPage.getReportDesignFileName();
try
{
ModuleHandle handle = SessionHandleAdapter.getInstance()
.getSessionHandle()
.openDesign( reportDesignFileName );

System.setProperty( "RUN_UNDER_ECLIPSE", "true" );
WebViewer.startup( null );
WebViewer.display( reportDesignFileName, ReportViewer.PDF );
handle.close();
}
catch ( Exception e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

I want to be able to pass in the projectName and reportTitle to the
WebViewer.
I have defined projectName and reportTitle as parameters in the report
design and when the WebViewer runs, it pops up a dialog that prompts me for
values for these two parameters.
I want to prevent this dialog from showing up as I already have the values
and jsut need to pass them in.
How do I do that?

Thanks.

you can set the parameter as "hidden"...

This still didn't answer the question. It would help if you looked at the
code below and explained how the parameter needs to be passed in the java
code. This code is in a wizard implementation, not in a report design
handler.

Thanks.

String projectName = m_reportPage.getProjectName();
String reportTitle = m_reportPage.getReportTitle();
String reportDesignFileName =
m_reportPage.getReportDesignFileName();
try
{
ModuleHandle handle = SessionHandleAdapter.getInstance()
.getSessionHandle()
.openDesign( reportDesignFileName );

System.setProperty( "RUN_UNDER_ECLIPSE", "true" );
WebViewer.startup( null );
WebViewer.display( reportDesignFileName, ReportViewer.PDF );
handle.close();
}
catch ( Exception e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

Hi,
This still doesn't explain how I can pass the parameters to the WebViewer
class in the java code shown below. This java code is in a wizard
implementation, not in the report design handler.
How do I pass projectName and reportTitle to the WebViewer class?
There is no method on the WebViewer class that processes parameters. I
tried passing it on the URL, but couldn't get that to work either.
An example would help.

Thanks.
