Unable to retrieve value from a JavaBean while generating reports using JasperReports API

Question

I am trying to generate a simple JR report from a list. I am keep getting Error retrieving field value from bean : name This error comes due to wrong getter method-name since jasper uses reflection to take the fields from a bean. However even after correcting the getter method-name. I keep getting this exception. Is there any other problem? My jrxml file is ``` <band height="50"> <staticText> <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="180" height="15"/> <textElement/> <text><![CDATA[Report]]></text> </staticText> </band>

Accepted Answer

The solution is very simple - you should change the access modifier of JavaBean class to public.

Like this:

```
public class EventBean {
    private String name;
    private String count;

public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

public String getCount() {
        return count;
    }

public void setCount(String count) {
        this.count = count;
    }
}
```

Don't forget that you are using your own package.
