PageHeader Problem

[sabernethy]

Greetings All-

 

I am creating a report template and I'm having problems with the pageHeader. I want to display the title of the report at the top of every page in a text field. I pass in the title of the report as a parameter, $V{REPORT_TITLE} .

 

If I set the evaluation time for the text field at "Now", the title displays correctly but only on the first page. For the rest of the report, the title does not display at all.

 

If I set the evaluation time for the text field to "Band", the report title displays but the title does not stretch if the title is long.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

This is the code from my page header in a sample report:

Code:

		<pageHeader>
			<band height="22"  isSplitAllowed="true" >
				<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" pattern="" isBlankWhenNull="false" evaluationTime="Now" hyperlinkType="None"  hyperlinkTarget="Self" >
					<reportElement
						mode="Transparent"
						x="2"
						y="1"
						width="534"
						height="18"
						forecolor="#111111"
						backcolor="#FFFFFF"
						key="textField-1"
						stretchType="RelativeToBandHeight"
						isPrintRepeatedValues="false"
						isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true"/>
					<box topBorder="None" topBorderColor="#111111" leftBorder="None" leftBorderColor="#111111" rightBorder="None" rightBorderColor="#111111" bottomBorder="None" bottomBorderColor="#111111"/>
					<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Top" rotation="None" lineSpacing="Single">
						<font fontName="Times New Roman" pdfFontName="Times-Roman" size="14" isBold="true" isItalic="false" isUnderline="false" isPdfEmbedded ="false" pdfEncoding ="Cp1252" isStrikeThrough="false" />
					</textElement>
				<textFieldExpression   class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_TITLE}]]></textFieldExpression>
				</textField>
				<line direction="TopDown">
					<reportElement
						x="1"
						y="21"
						width="550"
						height="0"
						key="line-1"
						positionType="Float"/>
					<graphicElement stretchType="NoStretch"/>
				</line>
			</band>
		</pageHeader>

Try changing the isPrintRepeatedValues setting to "true" while using evaluationTime="Now".

That did the trick. Silly mistake on my part. :whistle:

 

Many Thanks!
