JasperReports: default value instead of 'null'

Question

Is there any way to set a default value to a field in a report? I have a lot of String fields in a report and would like them to display \"0,00\" when they\'re null.

Answer 1

You can also select "Blank when null" in the properties of the text field if you want that. Other options are more flexible but this does the trick very quick and easy.
