Need reference to current object in report

[miles]

Hi all,

I have a subreport that is being passed a JRBeanCollectionDataSource. I can reference properties in each element just fine using the $F{foo} syntax.

 

I'm looking for a way to reference the current object itself and not just a property of it, as I'd like to check whether its in a collection of objects I am passing seperately as a parameter:

 

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String">

<![CDATA[$P{skills}.contains($F{this}) ? "yes" : "no"]]>

</textFieldExpression>

 

$F{this} doesn't work, but i assume there is some way to get a handle on the current object.

 

Thanks in advance.

Never mind, found an answer on this post:

You could also post a feature request here to include this functionality in JRBeanCollectionDataSource itself so that people won't need to extend it to get hold of the bean.
