Hello,

I need a way to exit a report and forward/redirect to another URL, *.jsp or
JAVA WebApplication.

E.g. if a certain condition is true I want to quit the report and redirect
the user to an error/information page.

How can I do this?

Any idea is appreciated, thanks!

You may be able to do this using the <script> tag in a text control.
Something like

<script type="text/javascript">
if( <VALUE-OF>params["fwd"]</VALUE-OF> ){
location.replace( "http://www.yahoo.com" );
}
</script>

If you are testing this in RC0 there appears to be an issue with the
design file changes not setting the need to save flag. So add a label
or something else and change it as well,

Hello Jason,

thanks for your reply.
I need the forwarding inside the initialize trigger of the report. Can it be
done there as well?
If yes how can I do?

Thansk for further help!

PS:

maybe you can explain waht you wrote, I cannot really follow when you say:

I do not know a way of doing that because we do not have access to the
response object in script. Only the request object is available.

You may be able to store the response object earlier. I am just not
certain.

request = reportContext.getHttpServletRequest();
response = Maybe get it out of session, if you store it there.

request.getRequestDispatcher("wwww.yahoo.com").forward(request, response);
