Font color got from the database?

2002-11-29 01:08

My users keep having a wonderful imagination.

Now I'm being requested to have different text

color for different product categories in the report.

Problem is, categories are defined at run time

and each one will be associated with a user chosen

color stored in the database. So, I can access

the colour as a field, but how can I modify the text

color accordingly? Maybe using a scriptlet?

Of course I could propose to the user a fixed number

of colors (16?), repeat the row 16 times with different

colors and use printWhenExpression, but it would

be cumbersome and difficult to mantain...
