Hello all.
I am using Birt in my RCP application with ScriptedDataSource. I have
certain values that I need to pass to my script and I put them in a Map
and pass them to the report via an object (if there is an easier way to
pass along parameters and objects from my code to the report script,
please let me know about it as well :) )
My question is the following: when I use "run" servlet in WebViewer, I
can render a report, then change my parameters in my application and
call WebViewer.display(..) again to render the report with new
parameters. If, however, I use "frameset", the new parameters do not get
reflected in the report with a similar call to WebViewer.display(...)
and the old report remains there. How can I get a new report with the
new values reflected there while using the frameset servlet? I do like
to use frameset since I need to have the pagination and the rest of
goodies. One more data point: If I use WebViewer.display(name,
WebViewer.HTML) to open a browser outside of my main application window,
new parameters do get reflected there and works just fine. Do I need to
dispose my browser each time, or rest its URL or ...to use the frameset
in my usecase?
Many thanks
Ali.

Ali,
What version are you using? You could modify the url to use
__overwrite=true.

Hi Jason.
I am using 2.2 (came as part of Eclipse 3.3 M7). This morning, I thought
about building URL and doing that and it worked with the following changes:
1. Previously I was not using any URL and as using
WebViewer.display(...), so I built the URL and in addition to
__overwrite=true, I also made sure that my __document is unique (added
time stamp to that). This made it work and each time I create a new
report, it creates a new *.rptdocument in a certain directory, and
doesn't seem to be removing them on exit, so I needed to add the
appropriate (still using URL but reusing the same *.rptdocument instead
of a unique one) and that worked to0.
3. Is there a way to use WebViewer.display(...) instead of building the
URL and using browser.setUrl(..) ? At this point, it is not really
important since building URL and using the browser does the job so it is
mostly a question so I can learn more.
Thanks a lot for getting back to me on this. Your responses are always
so helpful; I really appreciate it.
Regards
Ali.

Ali,
I do not see an easy way of doing this, but changing the parameters
should have done an overwrite anyways. This is probably a good
candidate for a bugzilla entry. It would be nice if the createURL
function in the WebViewer class was made public.
