Originally posted by: xxxx.xxx.com

Hi Jason,

I am creating a new rpttemplate file and I would like to add a data
element with an expression like params["report_name"], I include this
element as part of the template file, but when this rpttemplate file is
modified using teh Desing ApI I get the following error, can you please
let me know what method(s) do I need to use to make the value
"params[report_name]" available in the render phase.

The report_name parameter is being passed to the BIRT viewer to the
servlet that manipulates the rpttemplate file.Please see the error below..


The following items have errors:

Is there a parameter in your template named report_name?

Hi Jason,

No there is no parameter, but I pass the parameter &report_name=xyz in the
BIRT viewer URL and try to refer to that parameter in the data element in
the template which has an expression set as params["report_name"].

Do I still need a parameter in the .rpttemplate file?

Thx.

If you want to use that expression, you have to have it as a report
parameter. If you do not want a report parameter use an expression that
gets the request parameters object.
Like:
"MyParm=" + reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getParameter("MyParm");

For more request object examples look at

Hi Jason,

I am getting the same error "Invalid expression to retrieve value in
presentation" when tried to export a report using CSV emitter. The
report contains container (List) and I am trying to display the
parameter inside a Grid row (the grid is inserted into the list).

Can you please see if there is something wrong in here?

Thanks
