how to fill out whole each report page?

2005-07-25 06:38

Hi,

 

First I would like to thank Teodor for jasperreports. I have been using it for 2 years and it works great. Currently I am using version 0.6.3. I have little problem with report template. It looks like this:

 

------------------------------

title band

------------------------------

detail band

(here I have about 20 field to display)

subreport 1

subreport 2

------------------------------

page footer band

------------------------------

summary band

-----------------------------

 

where subreport 1 looks like:

 

------------------------------

title band

------------------------------

detail band

about 10 fields to display

subreport 1a

subreport 1b

subreport 1c

-------------------------------

 

(subreports 1a, 1b, 1c are rather simple, they have title and detail band only. I put there about 1-3 fields to display)

 

and subreport 2 looks like:

------------------------------

title band

------------------------------

detail band

about 10 fields to display

subreport 2a

subreport 2b

-------------------------------

 

Subreports 2a and 2b have tile and detail band only. I put there about 10 fields to display.

 

Data passed to fill report is specific:

master report only one record

subreport 1 only one record

subreport 1a only one record

subreport 1b only one record

subreport 1c only one record

subreport 2 about 5-10 records

subreport 2a only one record

subreport 2b only one record

 

subreport 2 is displayed in wrong way:

first page of the generated report is whole filled out but other pages are fill out about 60-75% of whole space. I can see blank spaces at the bottom of each page exept for first one.

 

I have tried to fixed it using some triks in xml files - it did not help. I tried to debut JRFillSubreport, JRFillBand, JRBaseFiller and some other classes but without success :[

 

Regards

Chris

Try to put each subreport in it's own dummyband (with the same dummy expression e.g. $V{REPORT_COUNT}.... then remove all empty spaces between any band-bottom and the last element before the band-bottom.

 

I experienced something similiar and it was because JasperReports-Engine "reserves" the space between the bottom of a band and the last element ... when breaking the element is placed at its origin on next page... if there isn't any element above then the whole "stretched" element is moved upwards... so this is why it could happen that you could get empty space at the end of a page.

 

Try also to colorize your bands temporarily, so that you see wheter a band has stretched itself somewhere.(for testing)
