birt integration - reportContext.getHttpServletRequest in em

[gonzalad]

Hello,

I think there's a bug in JBossBirtServlet :

Accessing reportContext.getHttpServletRequest() from scripted datasource returns null in embed mode.

I'm using a scripted datasource.
I've implemented in my report the open method as follow :

logger.info("reportContext = "+reportContext);
logger.info("reportContext.getHttpServletRequest = "+reportContext.getHttpServletRequest());

reportContext.getHttpServletRequest() returns null when I use embed mode (designType="embed")

It runs fine with frameset report.


I've just added the following line in JBossBirtServlet and it runs fine now :

options.setOption(InputOptions.OPT_REQUEST, req);

Should I raise a JIRA ?

Thanks !

Sorry,

The bug wasn't resolved by the line above.
It was resolved adding the following line in JBossBirtServlet :

appContext.put(EngineConstants.APPCONTEXT_BIRT_VIEWER_HTTPSERVET_REQUEST, req);

Please create a jira issue.

Thanks

Thanks snjeza !

I didn't had any time to work on this one today, and the fix I suggested breaks on first request (reportContext.getHttpServletRequest() is null on the first call to the servlet).

I don't understand...

I'll work more on this next week and I'll create JIRA when I have a better fix to submit.

Didn't have time today to investigate (sorry !).

I've created the JIRA issue https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4929
