$P{LoggedInUser}.getAttributes() returns null

[Geert.Boeve]

I need to create JasperReports with user specific attributes to be used on JasperServer.

But the parameters $P{LoggedInUser}.getAttributes() and $P{LoggedInUserAttributes} always return null.

Do I need to perform some initialization or are these parameters not available on the community version of JasperServer?

We use at the moment JasperServer version 6.0.1

I'm not sure of their availability in community vs commercial editions but I did come across a few problems getting them to work the way you'd expect. First of all I couldn't get $p{LoggedInUser} to resolve within jasperstudio but once it was uploaded to the server it worked fine. Second, I had to split up getting a property into multiple steps that had to execute in a certain order. Here is a snippet of how I've gotten an attribute from a user in the past.

    <parameter name="LoggedInUser" class="com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.metadata.user.domain.User" isForPrompting="false"/>    <parameter name="OrgAttr" class="com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.metadata.user.domain.ProfileAttribute" isForPrompting="false">        <defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[(com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.metadata.user.domain.ProfileAttribute)$P{LoggedInUser}.getAttributes().get(0)]]></defaultValueExpression>    </parameter>    <parameter name="OrgID" class="java.lang.Integer" isForPrompting="false">        <defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[integer.valueOf($P{OrgAttr}.getAttrValue())]]></defaultValueExpression>    </parameter>[/code]

Then you can use $P{OrgID} as the actual attribute either within the report query or passed as a param to a subdataset. Hopefully this helps!

Thanks for the tip. I used the standard LoggedInUser in JasperStudio with the wrong class com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.metadata.user.domain.client.UserImpl.
