set isTitleNewPage="false" from main report?

2006-05-08 11:16

hi folks

 

I need to be able to set isTitleNewPage="true" to "false" in a SUBREPORT when a MAIN report blob is null: new Boolean(($F{FILEIMG}!= null))

 

anyone ever done such a thing or have a scriptlet example? couldn't find anything like this is the manual, nor on the forum.

 

basically, CAD drawings are display with the drawing and one page and the callouts/parts are displayed on the next. however, our users are complaining about having a few (mostly) blank pages printed for every 100 printed.

 

thanks rob :)

I see a jasper reference to it here:

 

http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/api/net/sf/jasperreports/engine/design/JasperDesign.html#TITLE_NEW_PAGE_PROPERTY

 

Just wondering if we can via scriplet or how we set this dynamically.

another reference here:

 

http://www.kickjava.com/src/net/sf/jasperreports/engine/design/JasperDesign.java.htm

 

getPropertyChangeSupport().firePropertyChange(TITLE_NEW_PAGE_PROPERTY, oldValue, this.isTitleNewPage);

 

question is, can this be done via scriplet and will the engine interpret this if set dynamically during runtime.

finally conclusion:

 

don't think doing any of this DYNAMICALLY is possible (via the interface and certainly you'd have to look at the source being generated and/or ireport).
