Bug 330805

Description Håkan Eriksson 2010-11-22 09:50:18 EST

Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When attempting to debug a report with a datetime paramater it seems that an exception is thrown every time. This makes the debugging function of BIRT practially unusable for any report with required datetime parameters.


Exception:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new report.
2. Add a datetime parameter to the report.
3. Debug the report and the ParameterValidationException is thrown every time. It does not seem to matter what kind of date format is provided to the debuging dialog. The error is thrown every time.
