Retrieve JasperReports Server URL When Running a Report

Request Description

User has a requirement to retrieve TIBCO JasperReports^® Server URL when running a report to find out on which instance the report is running.

How to achieve it?

Solution

A possible way to retrieve TIBCO JasperReports^® Server URL where a report is running is to use an expression

((javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)$P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}.get("HTTP_SERVLET_REQUEST")).getRequestURL()

The expression returns a value like

http://<servername>:<port_number>/jasperserver-pro/flow.html

You may process / truncate the string value per your requirements.

Please note, the expression only works when running the report via TIBCO JasperReports^® Server UI.

It does not work if you run the report in TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio.

Solution tested with TIBCO JasperReports^® Server v.7.2, v.7.5.
