Input Controls are not rendering in hyperlink target reports in 5.x versions of jasperserver

[dhoppmann]

I have reports developed from 4.5.0, and have migrated them to 5.0 (or 5.1), and the input controls do not render in the hyperlink-targeted reports consistently. I'm not sure what's causing the problem here. I thought it was a bug in 5.0 so I put it off, but it wasn't addressed in 5.1 and I can't seem to find other people with the same problems, so it must be something I'm doing but I can't determine what it is. 

Here is a screencast showing what is happening:

Here's another with input control not forcing to always prompt:

Here is the url at the report initially:

http://server:8081/jasperserver-pro/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&standAlone=true&_flowId=viewReportFlow&ParentFolderUri=%2Ftemp&reportUnit=%2Ftemp%2FDavidTestForHyperlinks

Here is the url at the report after clicking the link back to itself:

http://server:8081/jasperserver-pro/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&reportUnit=repo%3A%2Ftemp%2FDavidTestForHyperlinks&ToDate=2013-05-24&FromDate=2013-05-01&SalesCenter=CHATTANOOGA&DateRangeOptions=MTD&ShowDetails=true&_eventId_drillReport=&_flowExecutionKey=e12s2&reportLocale=en_US#

Attached is a stripped jrxml file I used. 

Here's an error message I'm receiving from catalina.out:

2013-06-03 14:07:04,460  WARN BaseReportExecutionHyperlinkProducerFactory,http-8080-6:173 - Unknown hyperlink parameter type class java.lang.Object

I removed "repo:" from the beginning of the hyperlink _report parameter and now the target report's hyperlinks display. Apparently that format isn't required anymore?

I was having the same problem and this seemed to work for me as well I couldnt find any documentation that mentions this change but it seems to work!
