XML Datasource IReport 2.0.5 'The document has ..'

[S4_mario]

I am using iReport 2.0.5.

 

I am using a XML File as datasource. I grep my datas via xpath and I am able to drag and drop my fields in the Reportarea.

 

Once I compile and start the Report in the editor I always get the message "The document has no pages."

 

I followed a lot of tuturials, but I can not convince "iRepod" to do what I want, and it`s not made by Apple :-).

 

Cheers for ur help

Your documents may not have a query, click top of you data and check report query if there is a query.I had that error before and I realize just drag and droping is not the only way you need a query to select from.

Hi systemp,

 

I put in an xpath expression into the query field. Without any changes. I still don`t get any datas.

 

XPATH Expression:

/addressbook/category/@name

 

XML Datasource:

<addressbook>

<category name="home">

.....

</category>

<category name="work">

......

</category>

</addressbook>

 

So this should give me at least 2 datasets. "home" and "work". But nothing happens.

 

Thx

Hi, helping another guy that faced the very same problem but using DynamicJasper on top of JasperReports, I noticed that with XML datasources, embedded queries does not work (it does with SQL). I dunno if this is a bug, but I could not make it work like that.

 

To make it work, the query must be passed as parameter to the constructor of the datasource object.

 

Code:

JRXmlDataSource ds = new JRXmlDataSource(document, "/my/xpath/query"«»);

 

Since you are using iReport, you'll need extra code to pass a JRDataSource object at fill time since embedded queries for xml seems to be failing
