Why I m getting empty report using a json file as datasource?

Question

I m using tibco jaspersoft studio to generate a report

droping fields in the detail band is getting all data but when I try to use a table I m getting two empty pages.

the printing option is set to print all sections no details

here is my data json file

[ {
    "clientName" : "SEMMOUD Abderrazak",
    "clientPhone" : "043303854",
    "codeExterne" : "CLI201801",
    "email" : "[email protected]",
    "clientType" : 0,
    "clientEtat" : 1,
    "identifiant" : "TalcorpDZ",
    "contacts" : [ {
        "nom" : "Taleb",
        "prenom" : "Mohammed Housseyn",
        "telephonePortable" : "04330256699",
        "email" : null
    } ],
    "adresses" : [ {
        "adress" : "Batiments des enseignants Mohammed Khemisti",
        "ville" : "Maghnia"
    } ]
}, {
    "clientName" : "",
    "clientPhone" : "",
    "codeExterne" : "sdsqdqs",
    "email" : "[email protected]",
    "clientType" : 1,
    "clientEtat" : 1,
    "identifiant" : "sqdsqd",
    "contacts" : [ {
        "nom" : "Taleb",
        "prenom" : "Mohammed",
        "telephonePortable" : "+213778217469",
        "email" : null
    } ],
    "adresses" : [ {
        "adress" : "Batiments des enseignants ",
        "ville" : "Maghnia"
    } ]
} ]

What should I do to fix this issue?

@Alex K, you have not properly edited the report JRXML and it is now in an uncompilable state. — Narcis

It is a problem, indeed, with huge templates and unnecessary code. Most people don't even bother reading the mcve. But I find it hard, sometimes, to cleanup a report from within JSS, so I do it manually instead. And I don't think that's easy for everyone. — Narcis

Your table dataSet is not actually linked to any data, at runtime. A quick fix is to:

Export your JSON Data Adapter to a file on the same level as your report, let's say refcliJsonAdapter.xml

Add the net.sf.jasperreports.data.adapter property to your table dataSet, something like:

<subDataset name="jsonRefClient" whenResourceMissingType="Empty" uuid="1dcb37f4-96e4-472a-aadb-309de9d05089">
    ...
    <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.data.adapter" value="refcliJsonAdapter.xml"/>
    ...
</subDataset>

Preview the report against the One Empty Record built-in Data Adapter if you don't want repeating tables.
