How do you access variable values through API

2005-06-01 07:00

After the fill process, can you see the values of each variable inside a Jasper report?

I did see a getValueClass() method but not a getValue() or something similar.

 

Will appreciate any help.

I wish I can come to one of these conclusions

 

1) What I want to do is impossible

2) It is possible but nobody knows how

Hi,

 

I'm not sure I understand what you need to do.

Are you talking about acessing variables from the Scriptlet

class?

 

Thank you,

Teodor

Hello Teodor

 

No, after I fill a report object, I want to access the value of a variable.

I get a list of these variables by:

 

String[] allVariables = jasperReport.getVariables();

 

I hope I have expained myself better!

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

The only hook we have into the filling process is through

scriptlets.

I think you could use the afterDetailEval() method and

store the value of your variable into a Map parameter

that you would pass when you launch the filling process.

 

I hope this helps.

I think I did not explain myself well. Sorry.

 

I have a Jasper report that among other things calculates a balance. This balance is a jasper report variable $V{balance} . After I fill the jasper report, I want to get the final value of $V{balance} from the jasper report object.
