I hope somebody is able to help me here as this is a bit of a show stopper
for me:
I have two portlets running in the same application context (they are
packaged in the same war file).
Both portlets share the same instance of IReportEngine. (I have adapted
the BirtReportEngine wrapper class used in the examples and injected it
into each portlet instance using Spring Portlet MVC).
Within Portlet 1 I create a runAndRenderTask as follows:
IRunAndRenderTask task = birtEngine.createRunAndRenderTask( design )
HTMLRenderOption options = new HTMLRenderOption();
options.setOutputFormat( HTMLRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_HTML );
options.setEmbeddable( true );
//options.setBaseURL( response.createRenderURL().toString() + "&" );
options.setBaseURL( "portlet1" );
options.setHtmlPagination( true );
options.setHtmlRtLFlag( false );
task.setRenderOption(options);
Within Portlet 2 I create a runAndderTask in an identical manner except I
set the baseURl to something different. E.g:
IRunAndRenderTask task = birtEngine.createRunAndRenderTask( design )
HTMLRenderOption options = new HTMLRenderOption();
options.setOutputFormat( HTMLRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_HTML );
options.setEmbeddable( true );
//options.setBaseURL( response.createRenderURL().toString() + "&" );
options.setBaseURL( "portlet2" );
options.setHtmlPagination( true );
options.setHtmlRtLFlag( false );
task.setRenderOption(options);
When I start up my application and first navigate in the portal to Portlet
1 and then to Portlet 2. The baseUrl for the report shown in Portlet 2 is
the base url that was set in when generating reports in Portlet 1.
If I restart my application and then navigate to Portlet 2 and then
Portlet 1, the base url for the report shown in Portlet 1 is equal to that
set when generating reports in Portlet 2.
Since Portlet2 is on a sub page of the page Portlet 1 is onI need to be
able to update the baseUrls independently otherwise my drilldown urls do
not work.
It appears that the IReportEngine is caching the baseUrl. This might make
sense in a Servlet context but not for portlets.
????
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using Birt 2.2, JBoss Portal 2.4.2 running on JBoss AS 4.0.4

Allan,
This is most likely a bug. To enter it go to
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/reportabug.php
If you do not have a bugzilla account, do the sign up and then select the
second link to report the bug.
Be sure to specify BIRT 2.2.
You can change the appcontex in a report as well, but this may be a lot of
work for a work around.
