Define Java Beans for the Parameter List Box

If using SQL is not ideal, you can use java beans to calculate values and provide the list of <key, value> pairs to CA Identity Manager. The java beans should be in the classpath of CA Identity Manager.

Example:

<param id="lastname2" displaytext="Name using Javabean" name="lastname2" type="dropdown" class="com.ca.ims.reporting.unittests.TestDataCollector"/>

In the previous example, the TestDataCollector retrieves the values in its own way and sends the data for the drop-down list to the report. The <key, value> pairs are separated by %1F.

Be sure the java bean is in the iam_im.ear\custom directory.

Note: For more information about implementing java beans, see your Business Objects documentation.
