dynamic pattern for type Double

[MacFly]

Hi,

 

Here is my problem,

In my report, I have to display Double values with a specific pattern that comes from my xml data source. Apparently, JasperReport doesn't support dynamic pattern like this:

 

Code:

<textField pattern="$F{MY_PATTERN}"....

 

So, the solution that I found is to declare a textFieldExpression of class String and convert it like this:

 

Code:

[code]new DecimalFormat($F{MY_PATTERN}).format($F{MY_VALUE})

 

it's works nice with html export, but with excel export, the cell's format is "General" instead of "Number" of course. :(

 

Does somebody know how to resolve this problem?

I don't want to use "printWhenExpression" because I have got to many different patterns.

 

thanks in advance for your help!

 

Regards,
