Insert axis labels in Jasper Reports

I am studying Java with Jasper Reports and I am trying to create a report with a XYLineChart

My report is ok all the data is showing the way I want. My chart is plotting all the data but the X and Y axis do not have a name (label) so I can not "know" what that data is.

I wanna to put the names of my axis in the chart. I did some reading and find this in a book:

The Line plot also has two axes. Their labels can be controlled by using the categoryAxisLabelExpression and valueAxisLabelExpression...

The book gives the the syntax below:

<!ELEMENT linePlot (plot, categoryAxisLabelExpression?,
categoryAxisFormat?, valueAxisLabelExpression?, valueAxisFormat?)>

<!ATTLIST linePlot
isShowLines (true | false) "true"
isShowShapes (true | false) "true">

The jrxml complete code is in my GitHub: Report

Below there are the lines,extracted from the code above, about the chart:

</band>
        <band height="164">
            <xyLineChart>
                <chart evaluationTime="Report">

                </xyDataset>
                <linePlot>

                    </categoryAxisFormat>
                    <valueAxisFormat>
                        <axisFormat labelColor="#000000" tickLabelColor="#000000" axisLineColor="#000000"/>
                    </valueAxisFormat>
                </linePlot>
            </xyLineChart>
            <textField>
                <reportElement x="143" y="111" width="100" height="30" uuid="a6f5c887-cac8-4304-b8d5-8b9bb492ee39"/>
                <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{PAGE_NUMBER}]]></textFieldExpression>
            </textField>
        </band>

I tried to change my code like this, but It just gives me a error:

...
                    <categoryAxisFormat>
                        <axisFormat labelColor="#000000" tickLabelColor="#000000" axisLineColor="#000000"/>
                    <categoryAxisLabelExpression><![CDATA["Days"]]></categoryAxisLabelExpression>
                    </categoryAxisFormat>
                    <valueAxisFormat>
                        <axisFormat labelColor="#000000" tickLabelColor="#000000" axisLineColor="#000000"/>
                    <valueAxisLabelExpression><![CDATA["fck"]]</valueAxisLabelExpression>
                    </valueAxisFormat>
...

Also I could not find anything in the chart's properties tab of Jaspersoft Studio that would do the trick. And any reference I could find points to valueAxisLabelExpression and valueAxisFormat properties but I do not know how to set them.

Additional info:

  1. I am using Eclipse IDE
  2. My report is filled with subDataSets with JRBeanCollectionDataSource class

To summarize I wanna know how to put a label in X and Y axis of a XYLineChart in JasperReport.

Thank you all for the help.

After some tries and reading I did what I want.

At my first try I've used my chart code like this:

<categoryAxisFormat>
    <axisFormat labelColor="#000000" tickLabelColor="#000000" axisLineColor="#000000"/>
    <categoryAxisLabelExpression><![CDATA["Days"]]></categoryAxisLabelExpression>
</categoryAxisFormat>
<valueAxisFormat>
    <axisFormat labelColor="#000000" tickLabelColor="#000000" axisLineColor="#000000"/>
    <valueAxisLabelExpression><![CDATA["fck"]]</valueAxisLabelExpression></valueAxisFormat>

But the correct sintax is:

<categoryAxisLabelExpression><![CDATA["Days"]]></categoryAxisLabelExpression>
<categoryAxisFormat>
    <axisFormat labelColor="#000000" tickLabelColor="#000000" axisLineColor="#000000"/>
</categoryAxisFormat>
<valueAxisLabelExpression><![CDATA["fck (MPa)"]]></valueAxisLabelExpression>
<valueAxisFormat>
    <axisFormat labelColor="#000000" tickLabelColor="#000000" axisLineColor="#000000"/>
</valueAxisFormat>

So I just had to change the lines order in my code. Thank you everyone...
