New a report with a string parameter and drag it to Layout. 2. New a jsp file with content: <birt:parameterPage id="0" name="customparameterpage" reportDesign="report.rptdesign" isCustom="true"> <birt:paramDef id="1" name="p_str" value=" value"/> <input type="submit" name="OK" value="submit"/> </birt:parameterPage> 3.
