1.For connection as well as for DataSource
.......
write an Java bean class and you must have a factory method in that Bean class
and this static method should return a Collection of Beans/Array of Beans of type of Current Java Bean[i think you know about Factory class] ...
and set this bean .class file path under CLASSPATH in your iReport tool and create a connection and follow below  2nd point to get fields..

2.For Datasource only
......
set this bean .class file path under CLASSPATH in your iReport tool and -> select ReportQuery under Data option
->click JavaBeanDataSource button give the complete pakaged path for your class and select your needed fields...
.....

*I am also new to this and I did like this way only..and let me know whether it is okay or not and is there any alternative?

Thank you for reply.

           But How to give CLASSPATH dynamically, because i am using web application i need to give the classpath dynamically.

Is there any way to pass the parameters to the CLASSPATH so that i can pass bean class path dynamically using parameters.

Thanks
