Custom formatting on value in group variable

[svenn]

I have custom formatting for an item on my detail line set up in a Jasper Report Scriptlet in the afterDetailEval() method. This works great.

 

After all the details are printed I have a total in my group footer. I’m using a variable to calculate the total. I have set the reset type to “group†and the calculation type to “Sumâ€. What I want to do is apply the same formatting that I applied to the detail line in the afterDetailEval() method to the total on my group line. I’ve tried putting the formatting code in the afterGroupInit method. It looks like the sum total for the group is not available when this is triggered. Where would be the best place to put my formatting code? Is there something special that I need to do to pick up and manipulate the total in my group variable?
