Subreport within subreport

[raphy]

Hello,

Is it possible to use a subreport containning another subreport. If yes how can I pass a custom datasource to the last subreport.

Thanks for your help.

It's possible~

 

You can pass your data source via report parameter.

Just remember to set parameter type to JRDataSource not JREmptyDataSource

Hi, I would appreciate an example too. Thanks a lot. oauh@seznam.cz

Example of main report bean

Code:

private String ID;
private String name;
private JRDataSource subDS_1;
private JRDataSource subDS_2;

 

Example of sub report 1 bean

Code:

[code] private String ID; private String work; ... ...

 

Example of sub report 2 bean

Code:

[code] private String ID; private String workDetail; ... ...

 

OK, for example:

We got 1 record for main report,

5 records for sub report_1,

3 records for sub report_2...

If we put sub report bean 2 under sub report bean 1,

than we will have 5 x 3 = 15 sub report 2 beans in memory, it's terrible...

 

So, we can put all sub report bean under main report bean.

 

The following code are expressions for design time in iReport:

 

Include sub report 1 from main report

DataSoure:

Code:

[code]$F{subDS1}

Parameter

Code:

[code] $P{subReport_DIR} (String) $F{subDS2} (JRDataSource)

 

Include sub report 2 from sub report 1

DataSource:

Code:

[code] $P{subDS2}

 

 

Than we can pass DataSource from main report to last sub report via report parameter.

 

Hope it helps~
