Retrieve JAVA System and JasperReports properties from within a JRXML report

Issue:

[toc on_off::hide=1]

A variable can be populated with JAVA System properties, default JasperReports properties and configurable values from WEB-INFclassesjasperreports.properties

Resolution:

Example 1, a value specified in your jasperreports.properties file:

 [CDATA[new String (net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRProperties.getProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.band.split.type"))]]

In newer versions, the api has changed, so try a syntax like:

 [CDATA[new String (net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRPropertiesUtil.getInstance(DefaultJasperReportsContext.getInstance()).getProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.export.csv.exclude.origin.keep.first.band.1"))]]

Example 2, a common JAVA System property within your application server's JVM:

 [CDATA[new String(System.getProperty("user.dir")) ]]

Example 3, a value from a property listed within the jrxml itself:

 [CDATA[$P{JASPER_REPORT}.getProperty("com.jaspersoft.studio.data.defaultdataadapter")]]
