Answer 1

The answer from Alex K is correct. I just want to add additional information on how to do this in Jasper Scriplets as it might help people finding this answer:

String nameOfReport = ((JasperReport)getParameterValue(JRFillParameter.JASPER_REPORT)).getName(); // Name of report
String fullReportUnitPath = ((JasperReport)getParameterValue(JRFillParameter.JASPER_REPORT)).getProperty("ireport.jasperserver.reportUnit"); // path to report unit

// for getting the folder name above the report file a.k.a reportunit
int indexOfLastPathSlash = fullReportUnitPath.lastIndexOf("/");
String nameOfReportUnit =  fullReportUnitPath.substring(indexOfLastPathSlash+1);

Answer 2

With help of JASPER_REPORT parameter we can get instance of JasperReport class. This is the current template object.

With help of JasperReport.getName() method we can get the report name.

Example of template

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport xmlns="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd" name="Show the report name example" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="842" columnWidth="555" leftMargin="20" rightMargin="20" topMargin="20" bottomMargin="20">
    <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.data.defaultdataadapter" value="One Empty Record"/>
    <title>
        <band height="50" splitType="Stretch">
            <textField>
                <reportElement x="110" y="0" width="290" height="25"/>
                <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$P{JASPER_REPORT}.getName()]]></textFieldExpression>
            </textField>
        </band>
    </title>
</jasperReport>

In this example the name of report is: name="Show the report name example"

The output result in Studio
