I am working with jasperserver and ireport. I have created multiselect input control. I need to access its id as well as name in report. How can I do that?
You cannot.
The value gets passed as the value of the relevant parameter (the parameter with exactly the same name as the input control). The label used in the input control (if any) does not get passed to the report. It's it's something that you want to pass to the report then you need to pass it as part of the value.

I'm unable to link an Input Control to my report's Parameter. I feel I'm doing right, but I can't see the desired result in the final report.
My intention is to create a list, filled by some options, and display the list in a report as a parameter, so the user can (multi)select the options. As far as I know, I must create an Input Control on the server, create a Parameter on the report using the same name between the Input Control and the Parameter.
I've created a List of Values named ListaCalificaciones as follows:
Then, this is the Input Control:
Finally, this is the parameter:
However, when it comes to show the report on Jasper Server's web interface, I can't see a filled input:
Am I missing something?
By the way, I'm using Jasper Studio 6.6.0 and Jasper Server 7.1.0 (compiled version 20180504_1307).
Edit 2018/10/05 13:04
I've changed the input control, so that the id is ic_calificaciones and the name stays as it was (Calificaciones). I've found a way to make it work. First, I deploy the report to my server (local server in my case). Then, I edit the report, go to "Controls and resources", remove the ic_calificaciones parameter and add a InputControl parameter to the report. That way the Calificaciones parameter gets filled up with options.
I found the solution, it was just in front, but due to a poor UI I just didn't realise...
You must edit your parameter's name to match the Input Control's name, in my case it ought to be ic_valoracion. Then, the parameter-to-input-control-binding has to be made when publishing the report to the server.
So, being in Jasper Studio, click on publish button, as seen in the following picture:
Now, select the location where to publish the report. Then, the second step is what we're looking for, it's the place where you must select the resources to publish. As seen in the next image, you must edit your parameter's type to select "Link To Resource", click on whichever place and a new prompt will appear. Now, there, select the desired Input Control.
Finally, test your report.
in my myForm I call in a tableMY a displayMethod_fieldA.
In myForm I insered a some date in a DateEdit and I want to make a selection in table using the entered value. If I crete a displayMethod whit parameter I have an error.
Look like this code I get error:
display myEDTField displayMethod_fieldA (date _dateFromForm)
{
tableMY table;
select table
where table.item == this.item
&& table.dateTable == _dateFromForm;
return table.valueFieldA;
}
I have an error looklike this:
The display method has an incorrect parameter profile.
There is another way to display or set the value in my StrinEdit in Grid by method passing a parameter?
In web I saw the method modifier modifierMothod , but I need some more explanation. I don't know if this method is a right way.
Display methods are not designed with this feature.
display method for a table, form, report, or report design does not
have any parameters. For example: display Amount amount()
A display method for a form data source does require a parameter. You
use the
parameter to specify a table buffer. The type of the table buffer has
to match the type of the table in the form data source.

You can create the desired behaviour with an edit method (and setting the field to AllowEdit(false) or enabled(false).
I'm creating a jasper report using iReports 5.2.0 and I want to display the report file name in it.
Can't find any variable that has that information and I would like to get an alternative to pass it in the parameters.
How can I do it?
When you design your report, make a new PARAMETER named, for instance: NAME_REPORT.
After that, put a TextField in your report, for example, in your Title section, and
put as value of your TextField the parameter like a expression: $P{NAME_REPORT}
When you preview your report, ask you to give a value to this parameter and then, you see the title with the name
of your report file.
In your java code you will do somethink like that:
parameters.put("NAME_REPORT", "myreport.jrxml");
.....
JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, parameters, connection)
.....
JasperServer doesn't pass parameter from input control to the report for some unknown reason.
I defined a jrxml report with iReport 4.6 (even tried compatibility mode 4.0.1) using input parameter which works in iReport.
When I deploy the report on jasperserver 4.5 the response I get is "The report is empty".
Same report without parameter works also well.
Naturally I defined and attached input control with single-select query.
The value column and the visible column in input control is the same DB field I use as parameter in jrxml.
Query values as possible input are displayed fine, but when I choose one..."The report is empty"!!.
I tried simplifying the report but my parameter from input control just wont be passed through to render the report.
You must create the parameter in jasperserver too (not only in iReport), with same name.
In JasperServer, edit your report, define "Input controls" with same ids and go thru wizard, it should work now.
If you like to test first select "Always require in emergin window".
You can also look at the answer here http://jasperforge.org/node/543148
I call a jasper report through an independent URL through which I pass one of the input controls needed to run the report.
E.g. http:// localhost:8080/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&standAlone=true&reportUnit=xyz&ParentFolderUri=abcd&j_username=xyz&j_password=xyz¶meter1=value1& . . .
As you can see in the above independent URL, I pass the JasperServer username and password, reportUnit name and location and other mandatory parameters, along with the report input parameter, i.e., "parameter1" which can have a value like "value1".
I used a mandatory, read-only and visible input control for this input value. Its value would come from the independent URL, showed in the box but was read-only and hence could not be changed.
The report was working absolutely fine upto this point.
But the tragedy began when my client rejected this idea. He wanted a completely invisible input control to my report and the input value would be passed through the independent URL, just like illustrated above.
And then my client asked me to refer to this and made me work on cascading input controls.
Recently I added a cascading input control to this report. The input control type is a single select query, which utilizes two parameters that I pass to the report through the independent URL.
Now when the Jasper server responds to the independent URL with the input parameters, all the other static parameters work properly, except for the cascaded one.
When I click the select box of the cascaded input, I can see the desired options for a second, and then, it just goes empty while I'm viewing the select list.
But when I make the "Parameter1" input control visible, the cascading input control works!
And then I turn in invisible, the cascading input control turns into a beast that does things by itself and not listen to his master.
I am not able to understand why this is happening. Could anybody please provide me a solution to this?
I have found a temporary solution for this.
I made the "Parameter1" input control visible and read only.
Next, I used a stylesheet and defined a style rule that would affect that input control's display on the web page, making "display: none".
I passed the name of the stylesheet through the URL. So this stylesheet is used for the report.
Now, the "Parameter1" input control is invisible to the end user and my report still runs with no one knowing it's just a fix.
