How to combine Groups with Tables?

[phnxck]

Hi everyone,

I would like to create report divided on Groups, and I want data collection in each group to be put into a Table component.

The problem is, that as far as I know Table component has its own DataSet. As a DataSource I use collection of Java Beans. To pass data to the Table I am adding a Parameter to the Report, which is of Java List type and then Table DataSet uses it as its DataSource. Now when I want to add Group it wants from me an expression by which it will perform grouping. Now the question is, how to pass to this grouping expresion a field from Table DataSource? Or maybe it all should be done in other way? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hmm.. no response. Should I assume that such thing is impossible? And the only way to obtain tables per group is to use Line components?
