Need to print 2 static text fields depending on another field in ireports

[ethereal_robe]

I want a textfield to be visible only when a condition is met, so I clicked on "print when expression" button and pull a field called "$F{state}". That state gets a string. What I want to do is catch when state = sent to make the textfield appear. I tried doing the following:

$F{Estado-state} = sent

but it does not work, I need help finishing this expression.

The error I get when trying to generate a report is as follows:

Report Error

Failed to invoke method execute in class com.nantic.jasperreports.JasperServer: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: calculator_Cotizaciones_1392769053109_320557: 817: class org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.CastExpression, with its value '(java.lang.String) field_Estado45state.getValue()', is a bad expression as the left hand side of an assignment operator at line: 817 column: 92.

Hi,

Your syntax seems to be wrong. With Groovy you can write :

$F{Estado-state} == "sent"[/code]

Hope its help...

Bye

I actually found the cporrect syntax, I will post it as an answer.

This is what worked for me.

 

$F{Estado-state}.equals("progress") ? Boolean.TRUE : Boolean.FALSE
