I would like to display the Server URL within a Birt report.
Following statement is returning me just "null".

reportContext.getAppContext().get("SERVER_URL")

Any idea what I'm missing or what I have not correctly configured on the server, so BIRT would know the Server URL?

Has somebody successfully implement this in BIRT?

reportContext.getAppContext().get ("SERVER_URL") will only return non null if it is necessary; i.e., a report is being displayed with data coming from a different server.

So 99 % of the time, you should use a relative URL.

Hi Rafik, thank you for the info. Now it make sense. Actually everything works fine in my case because I force ServerURL to "" in case of Null , and Guido probably not,

In our case I we can probably just use "/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/"

 I use following code in the hyperlink of a field

var serverURL = reportContext.getAppContext().get ("SERVER_URL"); 
if (serverURL == null) serverURL = ""; 
serverURL + "/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/"+row["WI_ID"]
