XML dataset parameters

Patrice

Hi all, 
 
How do I set parameters in a XML dataset URL ? 
Something like <a class='bbc_url' href='http://mydatasourceserver/mydataset?param1=value1&param2=value2'>http://mydatasourceserver/mydataset?param1=value1&param2=value2</a> 
 
Thanks for help

Hi Patrice, 
You can use the beforeFactory event of the data source and manipulate the FILELIST property. Here is a basic example of the code: 
 
this.setExtensionProperty("FILELIST", this.getExtensionProperty("FILELIST") + params["ParameterStringToAppendToURL"]); 
 
You can download a sample BIRT 2.2.2 report from here:

The above link also contains a link to a live example.
