Variable ResetType

2005-05-23 01:33

Hello,

 

i´ve defined a variable and fill it with the first value of my datasource ( that´s the column title ).

 

this works fine on the first page. but after pagebreak

the variable´s value is null, although resetType is Report.

 

My variable:

 

<variable name="head" class="java.lang.String" resetType="Report">

<initialValueExpression>$F{KDC5AZUNAME}</initialValueExpression>

</variable>

 

Can anybody tell me why.

 

Thanks for your help.

I´ve found a solution for this problem by myself.

I have to initialize the variable with itself.

 

<variable name="KDC5AAKTUAL" class="java.lang.String" resetType="Report">

<variableExpression>$V{KDC5AAKTUAL}.toString()</variableExpression>

<initialValueExpression>$F{KDC5AAKTUAL}.toString()</initialValueExpression>

</variable>

 

However, I don´t understand this behaviour.

But if someone does, please post here.
