Passing arrays as parameters in urls

wondermike

Hi, I've got an URL that would generate a pdf each day. I'll call it like this:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>wget "http://localhost:8080/MRL/run?__report=myreport.rptdesign&__format=pdf&__overwrite&mydate=`date -d 'now - 1 day' +"%m%%2F%d%%2F%Y"`&ETH=CONF&ILOT=ILOT1" -O prod-`date -d 'now - 1 day' --iso`.pdf</pre>
The parameter <pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>ETH=CONF</pre> should actually be an array, which I'll access with <pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>ETHselected = reportContext.getParameterValue("ETH");
ETHselected[0]
ETHselected[1]
...
</pre>
<br />
In the interactive version of the report, I've got a multiselect parameter input field which will provide me the array in the above code.<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>How do I have to pass that parameter in order to actually really receive an array on the BIRT side?</strong><br />
<br />
I'd like to fill the ETH array with multiple values like e.g. CONF, FINI, XYZ<br />
<br />
TIA<br />
Regards<br />
Michael

Modify the url to be like:

&eth=XYZ&eth=FINI&eth=CONF

Get the value like:
reportContext.getParameterValue( "eth" )[0];
or
params["eth"].value[1];
