How to define an inputControl via REST for each parameter in a report

[james.stern]

Hello.  Say I have a report with 3 parameters, p1, p2, and p3.  Let's say p1 and p2 are Text but p3 is a Date.  How do I define an inputControl for each of these parameters using REST V2?  Also, I'd like to set the overwrite flag on each inputControl.

The Web Services Guide explains how to give an inputControl a value once the inputControl exists but I don't understand how to create the inputControl.  Is there a way to do this via REST V2 and JSON?  If so, how?

Thank you.

The report input control should be defined as parameter when you create a report template JRXML file, or as a filter when report is created from ad hoc view designer. Once the inoput control is defined in your report, you can reference it in your REST_V2 report service GET request as argument. For example:

http://<host>:<port>/jasperserver[-pro]/rest_v2/reports/path/to/report.<format>?<arguments>

Both date-only and timestamp fields used in the argument should be given in the ISO date-time format such as 1997-01-01T04:05:06+02:00. Please refer to TIBCO JASPERREPORTS® SERVER WEB SERVICES GUIDE RELEASE 6.0 for detail.

Sample URL used in REST_V2 GET request:

http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro/rest_v2/reports/your_report.html?p1=text1&p2=text2&p3=2015-03-19T00:00:00+08:00[/code]

I appreciate the answer.

tchen - Does the rest_V2 allow for you to set parameters that are not input controls? This functionality seemed to work in the Jasper Server 3.5 with the original soap API.
