Configuring the Reports Servlet
3.3.6 Specifying the character encoding for reports output using rwservlet
From Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4) onwards, you can specify non-ASCII escaped
characters in the request URL or in the Parameter Form input. You must specify the
character encoding in the rwservlet.properties file before you can apply it. This
is to ensure that rwservlet uses the required encoding when parsing the parameter
value.
You can set the value of DEFAULTCHARSET in the rwservlet.properties file to
either:
■ The NLS characterset (for example, JA16EUC)
■ The IANA charset (for example, EUC-JP)
Example
DEFAULTCHARSET=JA16EUC.
3.3.7 Disallowing HTML code specified in the URL from being executed in a browser
Any HTML code included as part of the report request URL might lead to a security
compromise as it causes certain browsers to execute any script or code in the URL.
From Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4) onwards, HTML code is not allowed as part of the
URL command.
To disallow HTML code as part of the URL command, a new property
ALLOWHTMLTAGS is introduced in the rwservlet.properties file. This property is
set to NO by default, disallowing any HTML code to be entered in the URL when
running a report.
Valid Values
■ YES Allows HTML code in the URL
■ NO Disallows any HTML code in the URL
Default:
NO
3.3.8 Specifying the pool size for concurrent connections to rwservlet
You may want to define the number of users who can connect and submit job requests
simultaneously to rwservlet. To do so, you must set the value of the CONNECTION_
POOLSIZE property in the rwservlet.properties file.
Default Value
500
Note: Setting ALLOWHTMLTAGS=YES allows malicious HTML code
to be executed by certain browsers.
Minimum Value
0 (not recommended)
