Input Control is supported in JasperReports Server. It's possible to create Input Control with drop down list from Jaspersoft Studio.
Just go to "Repository" view and right click on the report folder and "New" -> "Input Control". In the 2nd page, select "Select from List" in the type drop down list.
If you want to create a tree looking input control that's not possible without modifiyng jasperserver source codes I guess. But if a sql query flling your filter,It's simple to create cascading input controls.
For example let's assume that we have two input control. First one is for "Product Class ID", and the second one is "product ID".
-create two input control(Single Select Query) and two parameter. param1 (product_class_ID), param2 (product_ID)
- First input control sql query is "select product_class_ID from product_table"
- Second should be like " select product_ID from product_table where product_class_ID=$P{param1} "
By doing that we achive to get product ID based on product_class_ID selection.
That's what you want I guess :)
Take a look at this article, http://community.jaspersoft.com/blog/cascading-parameters-jasper-reports-0.
