If you want to add a simpel text field to the report, look at the attached code snippet:
ISection sectionToAddTo = oReportClientDocument.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0);
     // Create the text object
     TextObject oTextObject = new TextObject();
     // Create the paragraph elements for the text Object     
     Paragraphs oParagraphs = new Paragraphs();
     Paragraph oParagraph = new Paragraph();
     ParagraphElements oParagraphElements = new ParagraphElements();
     ParagraphTextElement oParagraphTextElement = new ParagraphTextElement();
     // Set the text value for the text field
     oParagraphTextElement.setText("This is a text field");
     oParagraphTextElement.setKind(ParagraphElementKind.text);
     // fix some wierd defaults and behavior by explicitly setting default font
     FontColor newFontColor = new FontColor();
     Font newfont = new Font();
     newfont.setBold(false);
     newfont.setName("Arial");
     newFontColor.setIFont(newfont);
     oParagraphTextElement.setFontColor(newFontColor);
     oParagraphElements.add(oParagraphTextElement);
     oParagraph.setParagraphElements(oParagraphElements);
     oParagraphs.add(oParagraph);
     oTextObject.setParagraphs(oParagraphs);
     // Now add it to the section
     oTextObject.setLeft(8000);
     oTextObject.setTop(1);
     oTextObject.setWidth(1911);
     oTextObject.setHeight(226);
     oReportClientDocument.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oTextObject, sectionToAddTo, -1);
