Can a BIRT report check for Eclipse v Web client

I wish to generate a hyperlink to open a work item from a BIRT report..

In the Eclipse client, the following works fine (inside an "a" tag):

href="#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=12345"

In a web client, I wish to open the work item in a new tab, by using:

target="_blank" href="#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=12345"

However, this doesn't work in the Eclise client - it re-runs the report in a browser window!

Can I detect whether a report has been invoked from the Eclipse client or a web client?

Also, it would help if I could detect whether a report has been invoked from a widget.

Hi Bill,

You can check whether or not a report was invoked via the Eclipse client by using the following expression in your BIRT report:

reportContext.getAppContext().get('RCP_CALL')

If it returns true, then the report is being run from the Eclipse client; otherwise, it's from the web.

Unfortunately, I don't believe there's a way to tell if the report was invoked via a dashboard widget.
