Setting Input Control Values¶

The following method validates the input controls that you send, to ensure that they can be used in the next run of the report.

Method	URL
POST	http://<host>:<port>/jasperserver[-pro]/rest_v2/reports/path/to/report/inputControls/<ic1>; <ic2>;.../values/
Content-Type		Content
application/json		A JSON object that lists your selected values. The value of every input control is given as an array of string values, even for single-select controls or multi-select controls with a single value. See also the example below: `{ "boolean-input-control" : ["true"], "integer-input-control" : ["123456"], "single-select-input-control" : ["some value"], "multiple-select-input-control-1" : ["another value"], "multiple-select-input-control-2" : ["first", "second", "third"] }`
Options
accept: application/json
Return Value on Success			Typical Return Values on Failure
200 OK – The content is a JSON object that describes the new selection of input control values.			404 Not Found – When the specified report URI is not found in the repository.

Assuming the client receives the response given in section Listing Input Control Values, it can send the following request body:

{
   "Country_multi_select":["Mexico"],
   "Cascading_state_multi_select":["Guerrero", "Sinaloa"]
}

When specifying the option for the JSON format, the server’s response is:

{
  "inputControlState" : [ {
    "uri" : "/reports/samples/.../Country_multi_select",
    "value" : "",
    "options" : {
      "label" : "Canada",
      "selected" : "false",
      "value" : "Canada"
    }, {

      "label" : "Mexico",
      "selected" : "true",
      "value" : "Mexico"
    }, {
      "label" : "USA",
      "selected" : "false",
      "value" : "USA"
    }
  },
  ...
  ]
}
