Unable to place input parameters within query

[bertiepinnock]

Hi,

First off a small disclaimer, I'm not hugely experienced with either Elasticsearch or JasperReports, so apologies if I'm missing something simple.

It doesn't seem to be possible to place parameters (e.g.$P{parameter_name} ) for input controls within the Elasticsearch query, without receiving a Parse Failure exception. I'm fairly certain it's because of the {} special characters confusing things. I've tried escaping the curly brackets with no success.

Is this functionality supported by the plugin? Or am I just missing something?

Otherwise, really great plugin guys!

Hi bertiep,

when using parameters in the query you would use: '$P!{param}', as an example:

{ "query": { "term": { "lastname": "$P!{lastname}" } } }

give it a spin and let me know how it goes.

I tried it just now and worked a treat.

I think I had already tried that, but turns out I had a few other mistakes that I'd missed before in there causing problems.

Thanks very much for the help and for getting back to me so quickly!
