Great !

Robi, How did you solve this? Regards Ruud

We created on top of jaspersoft a solution to edit reports and write back data to the database. For this we used the existing javascript libraries within jaspersoft prototype and jquery and database procedures/functions. The report behaves in 2 modes: Report or Input. User can see the report as is, and (if authorised) can make changes to certain data. see attachment images. This functionality we use amongst others for planning and maintenance of data and settings. Ones you start with it the possibilities are almost endless. Main Benefit: No need to create separate data maintenance modules. Report layout and Input layout are the same. User gets instant feedback. Organisation can do with less spreadsheets in order to complete "incomplete" reports. If there is interest for this we can add the sample report and code as well.

Thanks, that works indeed.

Case: In resourcefolder we defined following inputcontrols: DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL -> parameter: $P{DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY -> parameter: $P{DEPARTMENT_ MANDATORY} SUBDEPARTMENT -> parameter: $P{SUBDEPARTMENT} Query for DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL – value DEPARTMENT_CODE SELECT DEPARTMENT_CODE , DEPARTMENT_NAME FROM ORGANISATION Query for SUBDEPARTMENT – value SUBDEPARTMENT_CODE SELECT SUBDEPARTMENT_CODE , SUBDEPARTMENT_NAME FROM ORGANISATION WHERE 1=1 AND CASE WHEN $P{DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} IS NOT NULL THEN DEPARTMENT_CODE=$P{DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} ELSE 1=1 END We would like to include the following: AND CASE WHEN $P{DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} IS NOT NULL THEN DEPARTMENT_CODE = $P{DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} ELSE 1=1 END Main Problem: If the parameter in the query is not one of the inputcontrols on the report then the query does nothing (the inputcontrol is completely empty) For this we have to create the following set of inputcontrols: SUBDEPARTMENT_ DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL SUBDEPARTMENT_ DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY For usage in combination on report A: DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL SUBDEPARTMENT_ DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL For usage in combination on report B: 1. DEPARTMENT_ MANDATORY 2. SUBDEPARTMENT_ DEPARTMENT_ MANDATORY Bigger problem: We have sometimes reports with 5+ parameters/inputcontrols depending on each other, however these inputcontrols are in mixed usage for different reports Due to the main problem we have to make all kind of inputcontrols for all kind of combinations. Our request: Allow usage of parameters in the inputcontrol queries which are not used as an inputcontrol on the report. (the parameter has to be defined as parameter on the report) In that case we can do: Inputcontrols 1. DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY 2. SUBDEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL 3. EMPLOYEE_MANDATORY Query for EMPLOYEE_MANDATORY – value EMPLOYEE_CODE SELECT EMPLOYEE_CODE , EMPLOYEE_NAME FROM ORGANISATION WHERE 1=1 AND CASE WHEN $P{DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} IS NOT NULL THEN DEPARTMENT_CODE=$P{DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} ELSE 1=1 END AND CASE WHEN $P{DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} IS NOT NULL THEN DEPARTMENT_CODE = $P{DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} ELSE 1=1 END AND CASE WHEN $P{SUBDEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} IS NOT NULL THEN SUBDEPARTMENT_CODE = $P{SUBDEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} ELSE 1=1 END AND CASE WHEN $P{SUBDEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} IS NOT NULL THEN SUBDEPARTMENT_CODE = $P{SUBDEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} ELSE 1=1 END Best regards, Ruud Heemskerk

Question: How to pass cascading inputcontrol in URL Suppose parameter $P{CITY} Normal value for CITY can be passed in URL like &CITY=Amsterdam What if cascading values of city are Amsterdam, Rotterdam. How to pass these values in the url? Best regards, Ruud Heemskerk

Did you try the strech option? This might solve your problem. Regards Ruud

You get nullpointer exception when you define an inputcontrol but forget to create the parameter within the report for this input control. As stated: the name of the inputcontrol must be exactly the same (case sensitive) as the pareameter. Suppose: Input control: DATE_UNTILL label Date Untill then you have to create a parameter: DATE_UNTILL Regards Ruud
