Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-5267:
----------------------------------------
Quoting Jacopo caught my attention, specifically:
bq. birt reports are simply a proof of concepts that cannot be used in
production (for example they use hardcoded userlogin for authentication)
Is this considered a fundamental issue in BIRT or just specifying that work
must be done to amend the reports? For example, it would be quite simple to
replace all hard-coded userLogin assignments with a simple:
{code:javascript}
userLogin = delegator.findOne("UserLogin", UtilMisc.toMap("userLoginId",
params["userLoginId"].value), false);
// Another variation to pass as a parameter
userLoginId = params["userLoginId"].value;
{code}
This is exactly how I program it in my reports, and it is already implemented
in multiple reports as such (e.g. BalanceSheet.rptdesign,
IncomeStatement.rptdesign, etc ...)
The above error could also be resolved by casting the passed in parameters to
the appropriate data type. It requires some javascript code in the "initialize"
section of the report. Furthermore, we can create a single library (say
GenericLibrary.rptlibrary) and attach it to *all birt reports*. This library in
turn would attach to a javascript file that handles all issues (validation,
date formatting, userLogin, any other common issues).
I am not aware of previous correspondence on this issue, and would love to help
if someone would guide me on what are the objectives and where to start.
