Supply A report with a json/xml datasource OR supply a report with a MySQL Query

[devmldev]

Hi There,

Unless I have over read it and unsure how it utilise it, how does one run a report in Jasper and supply the report with either a json/xml datasource, or alternatively supply the query string to the report for it to run. The datasource and query is dynamically built based on user's search criteria. Once the searcg criteria is inserted, the php web applciation either dyamically builds a query, or can execute that query and bring back the data, I need to then supply that data/query to a report to execute and bring back.

Please assist
