Subreport won't show

2004-10-18 11:24

I have a report that calls a subreport. I created the subreport by following the tutorial. Both the Master and Subreport compile fine, and when run independantly, both get data in them. However when I try to run them together the subreport doesn't show up. All the other feilds from the master report show normaly, but the subreport just isn't there.

 

This is using iReports 0.4.0 btw.

 

Anyone got any clues?

OK, I'm posting the XML code in the hopes that it will prompt some helpful advice.

Take a look at the XML below. I made a few changes to get your subreport to work.

 

1. path expression for your subreport did not have the backslashes properly escaped, so I did that.

 

2. I added dummy sql queries to your report and subreport. I don't believe reports return anything if all you have are static fields and no sql query

 

3. changed the subreport connection expression in the master report to "use connection expression"

 

4. You may want to consider putting the subreport element into its own group band to give you more flexibility. Also, the height of the subreport element is not important since it will expand as much as needed based upon the subreport size itself.
