Order form in the "Installing BIRT Viewer in Tomcat" tutorial? [message #147731]

Dear Readers,

I have worked my way through this tutorial:

http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/viewerSetup.php

And somewhere in the tutorial, it says:

"If you've installed everything in its default location, then click on the
following link. If you've changed anything, then copy the following URL
into your browser and make the needed changes.

http://localhost:8080/birt-viewer/run?__report=Report\SalesI nvoice.rptdesign

The report should run and appear in your browser, along with a parameter
form in which you can enter a different value for the "Order Number "
parameter for this report."

My problem is, I don't get to see an order form where I can input an order
number myself. It's just a static page that shows information for order
number 363. There's nothing to edit there.

What am I doing wrong?

I don't think you're doing anything wrong here as I don't see it either. I
also installed my own forms into tomcat just to make sure it wasn't
something wrong with the tutorial and they don't work either. I'm going to
create a Birt bug report for this and I'll re-post it here so that we can
track its progress.

The viewer page needs to be updated.
The run command no longer shows the parameter page.
use the /frameset command.

1. The instructions are confused. If the servlet path is "run", the
parameter form will not appear.

2. I created a bug 134938 to let documention group to revise the
instructions.

3. If the serlvet path is "frameset", the 3 icons will be shown;
however, they do not appear if the path is "run". "run" just executes

the report and show the result and layout to the user.

Instructions were wrong, but are now updated. It's improved, but still not
right. I'm getting 3 javascript errors. Awaiting futher advice from
accuate.
