How to correctly pass a SQL query as parameter in Jasper Reports?

I've looked into all other questions regarding this topic and I followed all steps mentioned there, however I'm still getting an error when trying to pass an entire SQL statement as Parameter.

This is my SQLQuery Parameter:

<parameter name="SQLTag" class="java.lang.String">
    <defaultValueExpression><![CDATA["SELECT * FROM REPORT_VER WHERE TAG BETWEEN  $P{Von}  AND $P{Bis}"]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>

I've checked it and the SQL works perfectly fine when passed directly into the Report SQL field. However because I want to have conditional SQL queries I need them passed through a parameter. Anyone knows what I'm missing?

I tried to use $P{SQLTag} and $P!{SQLTag} expressions at queryString/

Solution

  • In case using parameters at defaultValueExpression you should operate with them as a common Java variable.

    For example:

    <parameter name="fieldFilter" class="java.lang.String">
    <defaultValueExpression><![CDATA["someValue"]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<parameter name="query" class="java.lang.String">
    <defaultValueExpression><![CDATA["SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE some_field = '" + $P{fieldFilter} + "'"]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<queryString>
    <![CDATA[$P!{query}]]>
</queryString>

    or like this:

    <parameter name="intFieldFilter" class="java.lang.Integer">
    <defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[2017]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<parameter name="strFieldFilter" class="java.lang.String">
    <defaultValueExpression><![CDATA["someValue"]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<parameter name="query" class="java.lang.String">
    <defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[String.format("SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE some_field = '%1$s' AND trunc(date_field, 'yyyy') = trunc(to_date(%2$d, 'yyyy'), 'yyyy')", $P{strFieldFilter}, $P{intFieldFilter})]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<queryString>
    <![CDATA[$P!{query}]]>
</queryString>
