[news.eclipse.dtp] Re: How to get dataset filters

["Linda Chan" <lchan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frederic,

By "dataset filters", I presume you meant input parameter on a data set 
query?
Which version of DTP or BIRT are you using?  Prior to DTP 1.7, the ODA 
runtime API sets an input parameter value only after IQuery#prepare, and 
before it is executed.  In 1.7, new experimental API is introduced to pass 
in parameter and property values to an IQuery before its query text is 
prepared; see   http://wiki.eclipse.org/Galileo_DTP_ODA_API_Changes_Spec

So if you are working with the earlier API, one way to handle this is to do 
minimal syntax checking at #prepare, and defer the full "prepare" operations 
till #executeQuery is called.   Hope this helps.
