iReport bug

2006-02-09 09:38

I have been using the xml syntax for inclusion of xml files in order to include large common blocks of XML into multiple reports (especially useful for the <param ... > elements in my case)

 

When using this technique, I find two isues with iReport:

 

1) I must have an absolute path in the <!ENTITY ... > definition, but would like this to work as in a normal XML include where I can use a relative path.

2) When I save the file back to disk, iReport strips all include (via &entityName) references to the included XML snippet and rewrites my DOCTYPE to no longer have the ENTITY defined in the doctype.

 

Thanks for your otherwise wonderful product!

I'm sorry, currently iReport doesn't support external ENTITIES files.

I fixed the problem, now iReport can LOAD a jrxml that uses entities (with relative reference too).

 

Anyway, when you save your report, all will be inserted into the jrxml, losing the entity reference.
