HI Antonio,

As long as your web page ends with the .irpt file extension, you can add name/value pair to the servlet definition, for example,

<PARAM NAME="Param.1" VALUE="">.

The name value pair can be captured from the session properties or passed in the URL.

Hi Diana,

In your example, the Category value comes from an URL or a session variable . In my case, I have an browse applet and a servlet definition in my .irpt file . I want to pass the getSelectedItem() from the browse applet to value pair in the servlet definition . How do I pass it ?

Hi Antonio,

You could use an iFrame on your page, the source of the iFrame would be a separate page containing the servlet. I'm sure others on the forum will suggest ways to do this, the iFrame is what I have seen used before.

Hi Diana,

Yes, I have used the iFrame solution in my past proyects . Anyway, it makes the application maintenance a little bit cumbersome . If there is no another solution , I will use it again .

For sure, an applet equivalent to the HTML input field would come very handful .

Antonio,

It looks like it is possible to reload the existing irpt page. In the javascript function, set the property value, and then call the javascript reload(true) function, for example:

document.BrowseCategory.setPropertyValue("Category", selCat);

location.reload(true);
