setting a parametervalue before parameter-window

shazia

Hi,

i want to achieve this:

//1- if i have earlier set parameters in session as attribute
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getSession().getAttribute("earlierSetParameters")

//2- then i want to retrieve the parameters and set the parametervalues on the parameters, so that the user doesnt get shown the parameter-page if he has earlier ran this report.

my question is:
how can i set the parameters in script. Maybe i can do this in the "beforeFactory". I am looking for the syntax, example:
reportContext.getDesignHandle().setParameterValue("parametername","parametervalue") ?

if i try this in the "beforeFactory"-script:
reportContext.setParameterValue("testing","hello");

the value for the parameter "testing" is not set.

You can use 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
params["paramName"].value = "some data";
</pre>
 
 
To set the params, you can test this by adding a label to your report and setting the value in onPrepare 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
reportContext.getDesignHandle().getElementByID(10).text = params["paramName"];
</pre>

hi kclark, i appreciate your reply, but i cant make it to work. This is what i tried: 
 
-In my report i have placed a "Text-box Parameter" with the name "testing". 
-In report "onPrepare"-script, i placed this line of code: 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>params["testing"].value="somedata";</pre>
 
When i run the report and the report parameter page is shown, the parameter is still empty, it should have shown "somedata". 
 
I am using birt 4.2.0 
 
Thanks.
