need global stringbuffer

[d_failla]

I am iterating through a subreport several times in my main report. I have a need to store some artifact reflecting each iteration that I can evaluate in a later report band. Is there some sort of global stringbuffer mechanism that I can append to after each time through?

I dont know about a global string, but u could just simply pass a parameter back and forth appending it as it goes

I had to do something like that. I created a Java class to store the information and retrieved it when I needed it.

I tried passing a variable back and forth previously but whenever I passed the variable back into the subreport the second time, it went back as a null; not the previous value. That has been my problem, it seems to lose scope on each iteration.

 

As for the Java class, would that creted class be part of my iReport or an additonal file (like a scriptlet)? It is desirable that I not have additional files to account for.

You would have to create an additional file. You could either

 

1. Create a class using the Scriptlet Editer

 

2. Create your own class by extending JRDefaultScriptlet

 

3. Create your own class
