Printing an image with full page height

[christiaan_se]

hi,

I want to print an image where the image is using the full height of the detailband. I have solved this as follows:

1) creating an JRDesignImage with
  JRImage.SCALE_IMAGE_RETAIN_SHAPE
 
2) Creating a detail band which is has the actual height of the page minus header and footer band heights

3) Placing the JRDesignImage on the detail band, give it the same height as the detail band and setting the stretch type to STRETCH_TYPE_RELATIVE_TO_BAND_HEIGHT

This works fine, however, if the header dynamically increases in height (eg. because it contains a text which is wrapped to the next line). JasperReports keeps on generating the report for ever since (of course) the detail band's height is too large. Is there another way to solve this?

kind regards,
Christiaan
