XML dataset parameters

Patrice

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

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

The above link also contains a link to a live example.<br />
