Add TextElement to PageFooter programatically

[jim.lemaire]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to add a text element programatically in a JRPrintPage object.

I've a working full report which is build by concatenating multiple reports, I've had to do this in order to mix portrait and landscape report.

My problem is that I have to insert page number inside the pageFooter of those page after filling these reports. I have the total number of page and also the number of the current page.

JasperReports version : 6.2.0

I've tried the following without any success : 

private void drawPageNumbers(List<JasperPrint> listJasperPrint, int totalPages) throws JRException {        int pageCount = 0;        int posY = 0;        int posX = 0;        for (JasperPrint jasperPrint : listJasperPrint) {            if (jasperPrint.getOrientationValue() == OrientationEnum.PORTRAIT) {                posY = 9;                posX = 273;            }            //ToDo            /*if (jasperPrint.getOrientationValue() == OrientationEnum.LANDSCAPE) {                posY = 558;                posX = 717;            }*/            for (JRPrintPage jrPrintPage : jasperPrint.getPages()) {                pageCount++;                //get Footer                JRPrintElement jrPrintElement = jrPrintPage.getElements().get(jrPrintPage.getElements().size()-1);                //JRPrintText textPageNumber = new JRTemplatePrintText(new JRTemplateText(originFooter, jasperPrint.getDefaultStyleProvider()));                JRBasePrintText textPageNumber = new JRBasePrintText(jasperPrint.getDefaultStyleProvider());                textPageNumber.setX(posX);                textPageNumber.setY(posY);                textPageNumber.setWidth(54);                textPageNumber.setHeight(12);                textPageNumber.setText(pageCount + " / " + totalPages);                jrPrintElement.addElement(textPageNumber);            }        }[/code]

The jrxml structure of the PageFooter is the following:

<pageFooter> <band>  <frame>   <!-- various text element -->  </frame> </band></pageFooter>[/code]

Hope someone can help me, if you need more informations, don't hesitate to ask them ! 

Thanks in advance, 

Jim

I had a similar situation but instead of trying to modify JasperPrint object after it was created, I just passed the starting page number as a parameter for pages after the first.

I did it that way at first but only to realize that some of my reports may contain more than 1 page, then you only know that once it's compiled so it "falsify" the counter
