[auvrm1]

Can someone point me to any example for how to use this new page break element?

 

thanks

AK

 

JasperReports 1.3.0.

new <break> element to better control page and column breaks in reports;

Yeah I heard that they introduced the better way of handling the breaks in 1.3.0 version. I do not use 1.3.0 version.

 

In the 1.2.5, there is an exmple under

"jasperreports-1.2.5demosamplesnopagebreak"

 

Check the following blog entry to know how to run the samples.

Hi,

 

do not use iReport to create the break-element because iReport-designer does not save the element into the layout-file.

 

Youe may insert the break under the band-tag, e.g.:

Code:

<band>
  .....
 <break type="Page">
     <reportElement
	x="0"
	y="17"
	width="784"
	height="1"
	key="element-1"/>
  </break>
</band>

Did you check that you don't have an old ( < 1.3.0) JR jar on your classpath?

The problem seems with the specifications of the page positions.  Suppose I have 4 elements, each of height 300 and want a page break after the second.  How do I specify the position of the third and fourth block (such that it compiles)?  What is the correct position for the page break (x and y)?
