I have created a MyCustomDataSource that implements the JRDataSource interface. This data source will call a webservice to retreive the data. The end user must be able to enter some parameters. In the report designer in JasperSoft Studio I've created the parameter with a name MYPARAMETER1 and MYPARAMETER2 as an example. These parameters must be passed to the webservice call. Do do this I've implemented a myCustomDataSourceProvider that implements the JRDataSourceProvider interface. With this I can pass the JasperReport to the MyCustomerDataSource. @Overridepublic JRDataSource create(JasperReport arg0) throws JRException { return new MyCustomDataSource(arg0);} Inside the constructor of MyCustomDataSource I try to read out the values of the entered parameters, but I am unable to do that. public MyCustomDataSource(JasperReport jrreport){ String myParameter1Value = ""; //Retrieving the array of parameters: JRParameter[] params = jrreport.getParameters(); for(JRParameter param : params) { if(param.getName().equals("MYPARAMETER1")) { //here I can retreive a lot of information of the parameter, but not the actual entered value: String description = param.getDescription();//works fine String defaultValue = param.getDefaultValueExpression();//works fine (and I can use this for hidden parameters) //the following statement does not work (does not even compile), but I actually need something like this //myParameter1Value = param.getValue(); } }} So my question is: how can I retreive the value of an entered parameter in my customer data source? This seems to be a very straightforward functionality and I've seen several similar posts like this, but none of them were answered.
