Hebrew, Right To Left text direction

[hovendal]

 Hi all,

 

How can I create reports with text direction RTL (like it is possible in HTML)?

I have a set of fully functional reports, which all support unicode texts, and I now have the need for "flipping" the reports, so that RTL-languages are displayed correctly from right to left. It seems the only solution i can find is to mirror the entire reports (that is, creating new ones with different floating properties, new placement values etc...) which I would like to avoid, since we are talking of many many large reports.

I am using spring together with jasper and I am using xmlviewports definitions returning a modelandview from spring with data in specified data source - eg.:

Controller:

Code:

View definition:

Code:

 

In html you can simply put DIR="RTL" - can I do something similar in jasper? 

 

Thanks!
