BIRT Dynamic Text widget issue

ReportServer (EN)
1

Hello.

I have a BIRT report where I want to display the choice of a parameter in a header cell of a Crosstab. For that purpose I have a Dynamic Text field in the header cell that shows the parameter choice.

I have created a parameter, Survey_field, it is static with a number of Value and Display Text items.

The problem I’m having is that when running the report on ReportServer it only works when I set the dynamic text expression to:

params[“Survey_field”].value

but not when I use:

params[“Survey_field”].displayText

which of course is what I want to show in the report! Both work fine when I test it in the Eclipse BIRT designer.

Any ideas of why, or if there’s some workaround to get the display text to show up?

Cheers and thanks in advance,

/Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

to get this working, we will need to apply a small patch to ReportServer. I think I’ll have it ready by tomorrow. I’ll let you know.

Cheers,

Hi Gabriel,

here is the patch for this issue:
http://www2.datenwerke.net/files/forum/t238/rsbirt.jar

To install it, place the file rsbirt.jar into reportservers WEB-INF/lib directory (overwriting the file already there).

Cheers,
Thorsten
