Time part of date being ignored on parameter shown in textfield

[oscarfh]

I am new to Jasper Reprts.

I am using Jaspersoft Studio to create reports and JasperReports Server to store/generate them.

I created a blank report with a textField that gets populated by a parameter that is prompted to the user. This parameter should be a date that should be shown with date and time information.

So I created a parameter

Parameter1Class: java.util.Date[/code]

A Field:

$P{Parameter1}[/code]

Running in Jaspersoft Studio it works fine:

I get the output "01/01/2015 10:00 PM" for instance.

I updated it to the server and created a new inputcontrol with the same name as my parameter with the time date/time. When I open my report I am able to select date and time, but after applying the part time is ignored:

I get "01/01/2015 12:00 AM", doesn't matter what I define on the time part (the date changes correctly).

 

Question 1:  Why is the time part of the date being ignored? How can I fix that?

Question 2: When I make any changes on my report on Studio and upload it, the Input Control gets reset to "Date" only, I have to manually change it to Date/Time every time. How can I avoid reseting it?

 

thanks

Have you tried setting the class to java.sql.TimeStamp

[oscarfh]

Yes, it works. Do you know if  this bug is already known or if I should report it?

[joel.carlson]

I don't think it's a bug perse, more of just the way it works. A java.util.Date does just that, gets a Date only and if you wanted a date time then you just need to select the sql.TimeStamp which includes the date time.
