Report with 2 tables per page

[gdavej]

I need to create a report which will detail a list of vehicles. Each page of the report will contain 2 tables, the top table showing the details of the vehicles, whilst the bottom table shows, say, coverages for the same vehicles. Each page will show the 2 tables for 10 vehicles. Obviously I can do each table in a subreport, but I need to iterate over the vehicle list outside the subreports. Is there any way I can do this with Jasper Reports?

One way of course... I could loop over the vehicles in Java, and call up Jasper Reports for each subset of vehicles, creating a set of reports, each constituting one page of the overall report. If I go this route, is there any way I can join up the individual pages outside Jasper Report?

Thanks
