I'm working on upgrading from Actuate 9 SP3 Fix 3 (BIRT 2.2.2) to Actuate 10 SP1 (BIRT 2.3.2).<br />
<br />
Many of our current reports define and initialize Javascript global variables in the beforeFactory event which are then used in the Property Bindings of various datasets. This has always worked fine in the past, but this new version of BIRT always fails, claiming that the variable is not defined. This also occurs in the non-Actuate BIRT 2.3.2 and BIRT 2.3.2.1 versions.<br />
<br />
I know this isn't a report issue because the same rptdesign works perfectly in Actuate 9 SP3 Fix 3. Also, the Javascript globals still work fine elsewhere in the report (ex: if I define and initialize a Javascript global in the beforeFactory and display it in the report body using a DynamicText element, it works fine). Something has changed with the way BIRT handles the Property Bindings, but I can't figure out what. Is this the result of a new "feature", or is this a bug?<br />
<br />
Replacing the Javascript globals with reportContext.set/getGlobalVariable() calls does work, but this change would have to be done by hand in over 150 individual reports. This is a great deal of work for something that worked fine before.<br />
<br />
These variables are defined in beforeFactory like this:<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>var testVar = "TEXT";</pre>
<br />
Stack trace from the BIRT log:<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.CoreException: Error evaluating Javascript expression. Script engine error: ReferenceError: "testVar" is not defined.
