Subreport empty

2005-04-12 15:22

I have some static text (copyright info) that I want to use in a subreport, so I can use it all over, in many different reports. Since I have no report data though, I don't think I should need to specify a Datasource. Unfortunately, if I don't, my subreport doesn't show. Is there another, more preferable way to do this?

 

Also, I may have misunderstood the quick reference. It seems to indicate the datasource expression is optional for the subreport.

Why dont you leave out the Datasource and set the connection to this:

$P{REPORT_CONNECTION}

The subreport should use the report's connection and your stuff will be desplayed.

Thanks for the info. That works too. I wish I knew why.

 

What is $P{REPORT_CONNECTION}? Didn't see it in the docs. Is there a guide for JR stashed away somewhere?
