Scripted Dataset -- setParamterValue() issue

kishore_r

My report uses a scripted dataset. I am trying to pass in a parameter to the report at runtime.
Simple and straightforward..

---

IRunAndRenderTask task = birtReportEngine
.createRunAndRenderTask(design);
task.setParameterValue( "employeeId", employeeId );

---

and In my report design, the dataset's open method.

employeeId = inputParams["employeeId"];

This gives me a null value for the employeeId.

However if I use the deprecated method

task.addScriptableJavaObject("employeeId", employeeId);

Then I can just refer to the employeeId in my report design and it works fine.


Any ideas as to why the setParameterValue() is not working?

I am using BIRT v 2.2.2

Thanks in advance.

Hi kishore_r,<br />
<br />
Not sure exactly why it wouldn't work. It sounds like a bug to me. I found this bug regarding the method in question not working, but it was apparently reported in 2.3.0, but could be related to your issue in 2.2.2 as well. It is fixed in the latest release.<br />

If I find any other reasoning, I'll post back in here.
