Answer 1

For current feature, its impossible to change textfield markup value in java application. But there is a trick that u might want to try.

First, textfield markup have 4 fixed options which is none, rtf, html, styled. U can pass parameter from java app to change markup property value let say markupValue.

In Jasper, u need to create 4 different textfield with different markup value as i mention above. At each Texfield Print When Expression, u need to compare value parameter markupValue that u pass from java app.

$P{markupValue}.equals("rtf") will display textfield with markup value rtf and so on.
