Multiple reports with one master Resource Bundle

[rodrigo.carvalheira]

Hi Everyone,

I have an issue with a complex report deployed on the Jasper Server.

First let me explain my problem, I have one main report that has 3 subreports and those 3 have more subreports.

The main one is in one ReportUnit in the server and the rest of them are in other folders in the repository, like:

Main > /Invoice

Footer/Header > /Templates/Footer or Header

Everything is running good, but when I try to use a Resource Bundle for the Footer for example, the problem starts in the server. I think i've tried everything in the path of the Footer ResourceBundle and nothing works i had to pass the ResourceBundle from the main one to the Footer, but this was not what i wanted, i wanted something different.

I wanted that all of these reports to use one Resource Bundle only, like /Templates/ResourceBundles but i couldn't finda a way.

Is it possible to have in the ResourceBundle for a report something like "repo:/reports/Templates/ResourceBundles/main"?

 

How could i achieve this functionality in the repository?

I've read the documentation and i think i couldn't find anything like this but i've been reading in foruns that this is possible with reference Resource Bundles, but i couldn't find what those were.

 

Thank you very much.

 

With kind regards,

Rodrigo Carvalheira
