how can you pass a jsp parameter to a birt report

gme58 ,

Parameters can be passed as URL parameters by entering the &parmname=value syntax, passed in a html form, or passed using the jsp:parm tag.

Take a look at these links :

Hope this helps.

<structure>
<property name=”name”>user_id</property>
<property name=”dataType”>string</property>
<property name=”position”>1</property>

gme58,

You need to link the query parameter with your report parameter.

Double click on your data set then go to the Parameters view, where you declared your user_id query parameter. Now click on the user_id parameter and click Edit. There is a field there, “Linked to Report Parameter”. Select your “user_id” report parameter and you should be all set.

Please let us know if this works for you.
