Hello,

Does someone know what is the easiest way to access the report parameters
within the chart script extension points (function beforeRendering(gcs,
context) in my case) ?
Thanks in advance, Thomas.

Hi,

context.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getParameterVal ue( "paramName")
should work.

Thanks,

David

OK, thanks, so I did this in my chart scripts :

formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm",
java.util.Locale.FRANCE);

function beforeRendering(gcs, context) {
var date =
context.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getParameterVal ue( "date");
if (date == null) {
date = new java.util.Date();
}

var chart = context.getChartInstance();
var title = chart.getTitle().getLabel().getCaption();
title.setValue(title.getValue() + " " + formatter.format((java.util.Date)
date));
}

BUT it fails on casting syntax (not supported, I guess) : is there a
clever way to do a call to ambiguously delcared methods ??

Thanks in advance, Thomas.

Please check the Rhino syntax to see how to do this:

For curious ones :

formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm",
java.util.Locale.FRANCE);

function beforeRendering(gcs, context) {
var date =
context.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getParameterVal ue( "date");
if (date == null) {
date = new java.util.Date();
}

var chart = context.getChartInstance();
var title = chart.getTitle().getLabel().getCaption();
title.setValue(title.getValue() + " " +
formatter["format(java.util.Date)"](date));
}
