Working with - java.util.Collection Parameter

[bessokefashvili]

Greetings,

I have Parameter $P{Names} with class: java.util.Collection and It has 2 values: "Name1" and "Name2"

I've created Textfield with an expression: "Username: " + $P{Names}

What I want to receive in report is:

Username: Name1

Username: Name2

What I received is report is:

Username: [Name1,Name2]

Please help how can I fix this problem? How to separate values passed from collection Parameter?

The response you are getting is correct. 
Best would be to rather use a ArrayList and then .get(YouIndexNumber) to get the value. Then just increment  your YouIndexNumber. 
Collection are not guaranteed to have fixed indices...

Thank you for the reply, it worked but partially.

When I've indicated  IndexNumber - it returned only one specific value

for example when I've entered: $P{Names} .get(0) it returned only the first value.

What I need is a dynamic solution - that will return all the values separately so that I didn't have to write each IndexNumber separately and create multiple textfields.

perhaps just an idea.... use simple java objects instead String Collection:

something like:

public class User{String userName;public User(String name){this.userName = name;}public String getUserName(){return this.userName;}}

and when you create your Collection<User> somewhere in your java code and pass this as paramater "userList" to the fill process then you easily could create a

JRBeanCollectionDataSource for a SubReport or jus a ListElement DataSourceExpression right in the jrxml-design 

new JRBeanCollectionDataSource($P{userList})

Perhaps you could also create adHoc another DataSource from just an ArrayList<String> or whatever your parameter is typed of. Just take a look at the provided DataSource Implementations: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/api/net/sf/jasperreports/engine/JRDataSource.html
