JasperReports ClassCastException when trying to display fields of java bean's sublist

Question

I get a class cast exception when trying to print out the variable fields, m1, m2, m3 of my Member object which is a sub list javabean of my main java bean Outer.java

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.mirriad.model.Member cannot be cast to java.lang.String

Where am i going wrong here please. I have spent quite a long time and seeking documentation to help me.

public class Outer {

    private String clientName;
    private List<Member> members;

    public Outer() {}
   //getters and setters omitted
}

public class Member {

    private final String m1;
    private final int m2;
    private final int m3;

    public Member(String m1, int m1, int m1) {
        this.m1 = m1;
        this.m1 = m1;
        this.m1 = m1;
    }
    //getters and setters omitted
}

`<![CDATA[$F{m1}]]>` - What information do you want to show in this textField? — Alex K, Aug 02 '16 at 12:03
yes @AlexK you are right it should be something like But i think the missing piece of the puzzle is how those print member's variables in the text field expression below — L-Samuels, Aug 02 '16 at 12:24
or `<![CDATA[$F{member}.m1]]>`. Don't forget about access modifier (public) in Javabean — Alex K, Aug 02 '16 at 12:40
