About Parameter Forms for Web reports

You can design a Parameter Form for both Web and paper reports. However, at runtime, the Runtime Parameter Form displays only when running the paper report layout. For JSP-based Web reports, the Runtime Parameter Form displays when you run your report within Reports Builder for debugging purposes, but will not display at runtime.

Because you now have the flexibility to display your reports on any Web page, the report may be just one object on a Web page containing many other portlets and objects, and parameters for the report may be retrieved from sources other than the Parameter Form. For example, parameters might be provided by the Web page to all portlets on the page. Therefore, it does not make sense to display a Runtime Parameter Form for JSP-based Web reports before the report is formatted.

In the absence of the Runtime Parameter Form, you will need to use an alternate method to provide required parameters to a JSP-based Web report designed with a Parameter Form. For example:

For a detailed example of creating a Parameter Form for a JSP-based Web report, see the chapter titled "Building a Simple Parameter Form for a JSP-Based Web Report" in the Oracle Reports Building Reports manual, available on the Oracle Technology Network Oracle Reports Documentation page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html).

Note: If you display your paper-based report on the Web, you can create an HTML Parameter Form by adding HTML header and footer tags using either:
