I want to refresh a report in the report viewer by using the refreshRate
Property of the ReportDesign Element. So i added the following tag inside
the report group:

<property name="refreshRate">10</property>

But after 10 seconds nothing happens. What's wrong with this?

Thanks!

I do not believe the engine supports that property yet.
You can add a script in a text control that uses a script tag.
This will only work in HTML. In order for this to work in the Web Viewer,
you will need to make modifications to the js code.

For the script look at this:

simple example attached:

many thanks for your help. The example works very well in HTML. Why does
it not work in the Web Viewer? Which jsp file(s) do I have to change to
make it work in the Web Viewer?

There is a bug with the script tag and the web viewer. It may work with the
latest milestone build of 2.2.
You could look at adding it to FramesetFragment.jsp. I havent tried it
though.
