How to access private and protected JRelements members of jasperDesign object?

[vikas.jadhav]

I am creating jasper object using jasperDesign class and initiating it using JRXmlLoader from jrxml file. 
I am extracting all the JRbands using getAllBands() method to get all JRbands and from each band I am extracting JRelements using method getElements of JRband. However, after getting each element like staticField or textField. I am not able to get their values from "TEXT" field which is private or protected.
Could you please help me to access these values!

Not sure what you are doing without any code. Can't you just use the getText() method to get text? JRElement is an interface so you'll need to use the implementation.
