I cannot seem to get this to work - I have gone through the many forum posts on this subject but still cannot get it to work. It appears that Xpath2 is the way to go, and it works in iReport but won't work in the server version. I have two questions: Is there a way to get this to work in 4.7.0? Considering that a remote XML datasource is becoming more and more in vogue is JasperSoft going to make the process more mainstream in a future release? TIA.

I have installed JasperServer CP 4.7.0 & JasperReport. I have followed the steps above, but still do not get the XPath2 option in the jasper server data source. I have restarted the server (& even rebooted the PC) but no change. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance. Also, probably not connected, but when I make the suggested changes to my report in iReport 4.7.0 the compiler hangs and gets the following error: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.jaspersoft.ireport.jasperserver.JasperServerManager$1.actionPerformed(JasperServerManager.java:153) at com.jaspersoft.ireport.designer.compiler.IReportCompiler.fireCompileListner(IReportCompiler.java:1947) at com.jaspersoft.ireport.designer.compiler.IReportCompiler.run(IReportCompiler.java:668) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:572) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:997) I have to shutdown iReprt to cancel the compile (the cancel button does nothing). Here's the important bit of my jrxml: <parameter name="XML_URL" class="java.lang.String" isForPrompting="false"> <defaultValueExpression><![CDATA["https://www.myurl.com/something/else"]]></defaultValueExpression> </parameter> <parameter name="XML_USERNAME" class="java.lang.String"> <parameterDescription><![CDATA[username]]></parameterDescription> </parameter> <parameter name="XML_PASSWORD" class="java.lang.String"> <parameterDescription><![CDATA[Password]]></parameterDescription> </parameter> This is using https (which is what I need to use ultimately), but I get the same result with http.
