BIRT Parameter Page Tag Library

chocba

Hi,
I'm using BIRT Parameter Page Tag library to create a custom parameter page. In my report I've a parameter of type List/Combo with multiselect switched on. The values for this list box or static. I need to build the custom parameter page with BIRT's parameter page tag library. How do I code the jsp to get the list values in my custom parameter page. I looked at few samples in net but those are all for text type parameter, so an input of type Text is used. Does the tag library provide an option to fetch list values from Report design document? Any help would be appreciated.

The jsp I wrote has the following code:

<birt:parameterPage id="birtParmPage" reportDesign='<%= request.getParameter("__report") %>'
name="my form"
pattern="frameset"
height="600"
width="800"
format="html"
title="Custom Parameter Page"
isCustom="true"
showTitle="true"
showToolBar="true"
showNavigationBar="true"
forceOverwriteDocument="true"
>
<input type="hidden" name="key" value='<%= request.getParameter("key") %>' >
<input type="hidden" name="__overwrite" value="true" >
Choose the columns you wish

Need to place the code here to show the report parameter

---

<input type="Submit" value="Run Report">

</birt:parameterPage>
