Problem with JasperManager.fillReport()

2003-04-16 13:46

Hi,

 

I'm currently using iReport to create my report. Using iReport I am able to compile and see the report title in pdf format properly. However, when attempting to use the JaserReport API, it seems that the title some how disappears. Below is attached a Test xml file as well as the code to run it. Any advice will be greatly appreicated.

 

Java Source File

 

package focalpoint;

 

import java.awt.*;

import java.util.*;

import javax.swing.*;

import java.sql.*;

import dori.jasper.engine.*;

import dori.jasper.view.*;

 

class PrintReport {

 

public PrintReport(String compiledReport) {

try {

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperManager.fillReport(compiledReport, null, DBUtils.getConnection());

ReportViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint);

} catch (Exception ex) {

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,

ex.getMessage(),

"ERROR",

JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

}

}

 

public PrintReport(String compiledReport, Map param) {

try {

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperManager.fillReport(compiledReport, param, (JRDataSource) null);

ReportViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint);

} catch (Exception ex) {

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,

ex.getMessage(),

"ERROR",

JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

}

}

 

public static void main(String args[]) {

try {

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();

} catch (Exception ex) {

System.out.println(ex.getMessage());

}

 

 

Map parameters = new HashMap();

parameters.put("REPORT_TITLE", "BLAH");

 

new PrintReport("reports/Test.jasper", parameters);

 

}

}
