MyEclipse: parameters in a birt report don't work on second refresh

Post subject: parameters in a birt report don't work on second refresh

I have parameters in a Birt report that run fine when I preview the report in eclipse but when i install the application on a websphere 7.0.1.13 server it will only take the parameters on the first try. The second time I try to run the report it reuses the parameters that I previously selected. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry for the delayed reply.

1) Which version of MyEclipse are you working with ? Can you share your Build Id from Help > About MyEclipse Enterprise Edition > Build Id ?

2) Can you append _overwrite=true to the url and check if it fixes your issue?

WAS must be caching the parameters.I suggest you also cross post to the Reports/WAS forums for better support.

Let me know how it works for you.

in the web.xml file i added

<context-param>
<description>Overwrite doc</description>
<param-name>BIRT_OVERWRITE_DOCUMENT</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
