Dynamically generate attribute values

2002-05-01 15:49

Is it possible in Jasper to dynamically generate the value of an attribute based on a variable/parameter/expression? For example:

<group name="Bob" isStartNewPage="$P{isStartNewPage}"...

The above approach does not work because the parameter is not expanded, but stays as literal text. Any way around this problem for attributes _within_ a tag?

Thanks

Hi,

 

This is not possible. Sorry.

The effort to implement such a feature would

be huge.

 

Thanks,

Teodor
