Reading and setting the report-parameters in Birt Report Viewer jsp

Hi, 
 
I am using the WebViewerExample (Birt Report Viewer) in my own webapp. 
 
i want to achieve this: 
 
In the file: FramesetFragment.jsp (or one of the other jsps that shows the report) (in WebViewerExample) i want to write the report-parameters the user choosed to a hidden html-field. I will later send these parameters to another jsp-page i have... 
 
For example: 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'><input type="hidden" name="reportNameAndParametersToSend" value="myreportname?parameterName1=parameterValue1&parameterName2=parameterValue2" /></pre>
 
 
is there a context or way i can catch the report-parameters in FramesetFragment.jsp (or one of the other jsps that shows the report)/WebViewerExample ? 
 
 
Thanx, all help very much appreciated

Why not just store them in session using script in the report? Ie beforeFactory script

reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getSession().setAttribute("parmVal", params["MyParameter"].value);

Thanks for your reply JasonW.

i have managed to set all the parameters as session attributtes.

But ive found a problem.

When the users sees the paramater-dialog box to choose the parameters, and clicks the ok-button, the request is sent and in beforeFactory i set the parameters. Good until here. But when the report is shown in the webviewerexample, none of the jsps seems to refresh (though the report is shown) ? so i cant get the attributes from the session until i click F5/refresh in browser.

wonder if its cause of ajax or somethng ? any idea how to do.

I am not certain how you have this configured. I though you needed the session variables in another jsp? You should be able to add a data item to the report to check a session variable. For its expression enter:
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getSession().getAttribute("parmVal");
