hanging subreport in title band

2006-02-09 10:01

I have two templates in an attempt to create a header subreport so everyone points to the same header. Here's what I have so far:

 

1. Header_subreport.jrxml, contains just title, pageHeader, and pageFooter information. Compiles and works just fine alone. Title is on a separate page.

 

2. Task_report.jrxml, contains just detail and grouping bands. Compiles and works just fine alone.

 

3. Enlarge title band in Task_report, add subreport icon. Compiles.

 

4. Add "Header_subreport.jasper" to Subreport Expression. Compiles.

 

5. Go to SubReport tab, enable "Use connection expression", $P{REPORT_CONNECTION} autopopulates, compile, and it says "Generating Report", hangs, and I notice there are two iReport1.1.0 processes running.

 

Followup test scenario B:

 

4b. Leave Subreport Expression blank.

 

5b. Go to SubReport tab, enable “Use connection expressionâ€. This compiles without hanging.

 

Test scenario C:

 

Remove pageHeader and pageFooter from Header_subreport. Setting both Subreport Expression and Report Connection causes it to hang.

 

Any suggestions?

Don't put self stretching subreports in fixed bands!

 

that should cause the deadlock (IMHO).
