Using the BIRT Designer version 2.1.3
BIRT runtime 2.2.2

My problem is when i click on the table header of a particular column ,the table gets sorted according to the sort order of that column in BIRT designer preview , but not in runtime.
Here is what code tried with help of this forum.

beforeFactory -
sortkeyCriteria =reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getRequestURL() + "?" +reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getQueryString();

Table Header URI option script is
importPackage(Packages.java.lang);

var temp = sortkeyCriteria ;
var targetURL = new String();

if(temp.indexOf("_overwrite=") != -1 ){

targetURL = temp.substring(0, temp.indexOf("&_overwrite") -1);
}else{
targetURL = temp;
}

targetURL += "&_overwrite=true";
targetURL += "&_srt=a";

Sort Key - selecting the sort key based on the click of column,

if( params["srt"].value =="Column1" ){
row["Column1"];
}
else if(params["srt"].value =="Column2"){
row["Column2"];
}
else if(params["srt"].value =="Column3"){
row["Column3"];
}

Sort Direction - Ascending

Can anyone let me know where am i going wrong

Can you try:

importPackage(Packages.java.lang);
var temp = xyz;
var targetURL = new String();

if(temp.indexOf("&__overwrite=") != -1 ){

targetURL = temp.substring(0, temp.indexOf("&__overwrite="));
}else{
targetURL = temp;
}
targetURL += "&__overwrite=true";
targetURL += "&srt=column3";

and take the var keyword off of counter in the table prepare script:

counter = 0;

I tried the __overwrite instead of _overwrite in my original report but still sorting not working in the runtime.

The counter was part of the table for a different thing (not for sorting).

I am using the BIRT 2.2.2 runtime default web.xml . By default the _Overrite attribute will be set to true right . Any changes needed in web.xml ?

When i click on it , nothing happens , just the page gets refreshed in runtime.
But it works fine in Viewer.

Does it has anything to do with handling the gethttpRequest in the beforeFactory() method ?

I thought it was failing in the viewer? How are you running it when it
fails. You can always log out some debug info in the beforeFactory to
check it. Use something like"

importPackage( Packages.java.io );
out = new PrintWriter( new FileWriter( "c:/temp/rpevents.txt", true ) );
out.println( "beforeFactory " + addyourvariableshere);
out.close();
