1st footer data with evalTime=now is "NULL"?

2005-05-09 09:53

My problem is the data with evaluationTime="Now" in the footer of the first page of multipage reports is "null", while the data with in that footer with evaluationTime="Report" is fine. This includes PAGE_NUMBER and date data. The footer data shows up fine on the other pages but does is "null" on the first page. Anyone have any experience with this problem?

 

Here's what my footer code looks like:

<pageFooter>

<band height="45">

<textField

isStretchWithOverflow="false"

pattern=""

isBlankWhenNull="false"

evaluationTime="Report"

hyperlinkType="None" > <reportElement

mode="Opaque"

x="569"

y="20"

width="20"

height="20"

forecolor="#000000"

backcolor="#FFFFFF"

positionType="Float"

isPrintRepeatedValues="true"

isRemoveLineWhenBlank="false"

isPrintInFirstWholeBand="false"

isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="false"/>

<textElement

textAlignment="Left"

verticalAlignment="Top"

lineSpacing="Single">

<font fontName="Helvetica" pdfFontName="Helvetica" size="8" isBold="false" isItalic="false" isUnderline="false" isPdfEmbedded ="false" pdfEncoding ="CP1252" isStrikeThrough="false" />

</textElement>

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.Integer"><![CDATA[$V{PAGE_NUMBER}]]></textFieldExpression>

</textField>

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="false" pattern="" isBlankWhenNull="false" evaluationTime="Now" hyperlinkType="None" > <reportElement

isRemoveLineWhenBlank="false"

isPrintInFirstWholeBand="false"

isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="false"/>

<textElement textAlignment="Right" verticalAlignment="Top" lineSpacing="Single">
