Jaspersoft Server Report Units - Passing the date/time formats at runtime to change the display format of date values

• Create a report unit in Jaspersoft Server.
•  Add 2 parameters     
• parameter1 – Date value

1

1.      

• parameter2- The Date format required to format the “parameter1”

Note: The formats which we can use here are only formats supported by java.text.SimpleDateFormat class.

e.g:        EEEE, dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzzz

MM/dd/yy

dd/MM/yy

dd-MMM-yy

yyyy.MM.dd.HH.mm.ss

E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z

•    Now we need to drag and drop the “parameter1” value to the report Detail band and click on its parameters. Find the property called “Pattern Expression” and set “$P{parameter2}” as the value.

• Now save the report and upload the file successfully to the jaspersoft server.
• Define a report and run it (Either with default values or change the values).
