Please help me by suggesting how to achieve following.

I need to customize New Parameter Page in BIRT designer application.

I want to put some metadata information about parameter that will be
persisted along in ROM ( Report Object Model ) inside Report
Design(.rptdesign file).

That will be read by my application and presented to user with some more
information for running/rendering report using BIRT Report Viewer.

Please note that I do not want to extend BIRT Report Viewer parameter page
but BIRT Report Designer parameter page at design time.

How do you recommend doing this ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to do, but a look at the JFire
BIRT integration might help and give you some ideas.
https://www.jfire.org/modules/phpwiki/index.php/JFireReporti ng%20Parameter%20Acquisition
We've extended the Report Designer to be able to model a complete
parameter acquisition workflow, however this information is not stored
within the report design but parallel to it.
Take a look and feel free to ask questions in the JFire forum.

Regards
Alex
