Hi all !

 

When Ireport generate the xml code, it put CDATA attribute, but this, generate an error with the printWhenExpression Tag, for example :

 

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[((String)$P{MyParameter}).equals("S")]]></printWhenExpression>

 

Is there an Ireport option, not to generate CDATA ?

Why it generate this..?

 

Thank you for advance !

what version are you using. There were a number of problems around verions between .0.0.7 and .0.0.8 with printwhenexpressions not formatting properly. Version 0.0.9 works.

 

Also, formula needs to be

 

new Boolean($P{MyParameter}.equals("S"))

hi nay,

 

<![CDATA[ ... ]]>

 

is XMl syntax and is not considered by XML parsers. This syntax permit the use of xml special characters like "<" or ">".

 

CDATA is not the root of your problem.

 

You must return a Boolean object, for this reason your expression is wrong. The right one is this:

 

new Boolean( $P{MyParameter}.equals("S") )

 

Have a nice day.

<printWhenExpression> and [CDATA issue

2003-06-12 05:31

Whenever i put something like this:

 

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[

new Boolean(....)</printWhenExpression>]]>

 

Reports compiles correctly and works. But i reopen the report xml file in iReports all of <![CDATA[ ]]> is gone and only thing that is left is new Boolean(...).

 

why is that? any work around to that?

I don't understand why you need a similar expression...(with ]]> after the </printWhenExpression> closed tag... howerver try to disable UTF-8 "special" support from tools->options-> Enable support for UTF-8 loading.

 

Good Luck

OK,

 

<![CDATA[ and ]]> are XML reserved keywords and are stripped out from iReport when it resents expressions to you. There is no way to load it as part of the expression.
