Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to gracefully handle DB login errors from the BIRT viewer in order to display a user-friendlier 'bad login' message back to the user (and replacing the less friendly messages I've reproduced below).

For the particular case I'm working on, the login credentials are being passed to BIRT via parameter prompts at runtime.

Thanks for any help you can provide w/ this.

*********************************************

Error using 'frameset':

The following items have errors:

Table (id = 935):
- Can not load the report query: 935. Errors occurred when generating the report document for the report element with ID 935. (Element ID:935)

Error.ReportQueryLoadingError2 ( 1 time(s) )

*********************************************

Error using 'preview':

Table (id = 935):
- An exception occurred during processing. Please see the following message for details:
Cannot open the connection for the driver: org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.
org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.JDBCException: There is an error in get connection, ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
. (Element ID:935)

Mike,

This is a difficult one that either requires you modify the viewer or
use some client side script to modify the errors or auto forward to a
different page. If you want to auto forward you could do something like
the following. Add a script similar to the following to the table that
uses the query's oncreate:

var taskid =
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getAttribute("attributeBean").getTaskId();
var mytask =
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getSession().getAttribute("tasks").get(taskid).getTask();


if( !mytask.getErrors().isEmpty() ){
//you could iterate the errors here as well
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("myerrors",true);
}else{
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("myerrors", false);
}

then add a text element to the bottom of the report that has the
following content (Make sure to set its type to html):

<script type="text/javascript">


function forward() {
var temp = new String(location.href);

//put location to error page
location.replace("http://www.google.com");

return false;
}
if( <VALUE-OF>reportContext.getGlobalVariable("myerrors");</VALUE-OF> ){
forward();
}
</script>

Jason,

I just tested the redirect and it should be fine for our needs. Actually, I was kind of fumbling around with something similar you had posted before (www.birt-exchange.org/org/forum/index.php/topic/20435-hiding-error-text-from-ui/page__p__68181&), but I wasn't sure how to put it all together. It's all clear to me now, thanks to your concise response.

Thanks again!
Mike
