Get Environnment variable from BIRT in Javascript

millvall

Hi,
Does anyone have the Javascript code to get an environment variable from within a BIRT report? From say the initialize or beforeFactory event. I need to retrieve some items from env vars.

Thank You.
Milt.

Packages.java.lang.System.getenv();

You will need to iterate over the hashmap it provides. If you need an example, in Eclipse, go to Window/Show view/Other/Report and Chart Design/Report Examples, and open the Report Feature Examples/Scripting/Retrieve Session Information/Application_session_integrationBF.rptdesign. You can replace the HttpRequest session code with the System.getenv() call.

Thanks John. 
Here's what worked for me. OnCreate in a DTC: 
 
// importPackage(Packages.java.lang.*); // OK but not needed in designer 
// importPackage(Packages.java.lang.System); // No good. Causes error. 
 
r = java.lang.System.getenv("PATH"); 
this.text = r; 
 
Also, I didn't know about the samples in: Window/Show view/Other/Report and Chart Design... 
Thanks for that tip.
