Read / Load / Fetch / Get Parameters from jrxml file prior to filling

[chgsd]

I would like to pull the parameters from a given jrxml to present them to be filled out in a web based form. 

I saw code to do this a few days ago and failed to bookmark it. Some extensive googling has failed to retrieve it and I have had no success finding it in my browsing history either, it may have been on a different machine.

Could someone point me to what is needed to read the required parameters of a jrxml report so that they can be presented to someone to then be filled out.

I briefly looked over the API but not terribly familiar with it nothing jumped out at me. If I can't figure it out I can write something to go through the XML to achieve this purpose but I distinctly remember seeing a code example of builtin functionality for this, I just am having zero luck finding it!

Thanks for any and all help!

Cheers,
