I'm struggling with generating JasperReport using Java. DataSource is not taken into account, so all the values are null and subReport is not shown. I've created JSONDataAdapter with option 'Use the report JSON expression when filling the report' from the JSON pasted below. When compiling it from Jasper Studio it is creating report correctly, while trying to compile it from Java leads to empty report (only field names shown) without subReport at all. Please help with this issue. { "user": { "firstName": "Mike", "lastName": "Jones", "email": "mikeJones@gmail.com", "userStatus": "VALIDATED", "documentList": [ { "id": 2, "documentType":
