Add HtmlComponent to JasperDesign

[valentin.gregoire]

Through various searches on the internet I found how to use the HtmlComponent in my project to have an HTML-table in my report (as an image).

However, I can't seem to find how I can add the HtmlComponent to a JasperDesign.

Versions in use:

• Jasper 5.6.1
• HtmlComponent 5.0.1 (derived from iReport 5.6.0).

My current code:

HtmlComponent table = new HtmlComponent();JRDesignExpression expression = new JRDesignExpression();expression.setText(html.replace("n", ""));table.setHtmlContentExpression(expression);JRDesignGroup group = new JRDesignGroup();group.setName(TABLE_GROUP_PREFIX);JRDesignBand groupHeader = new JRDesignBand();groupHeader.setHeight(200);groupHeader.setSplitType(SplitTypeEnum.IMMEDIATE);groupHeader.addElement(table);((JRDesignSection) group.getGroupHeaderSection()).addBand(groupHeader);return jasperDesign;[/code]

Obviously, groupHeader.addElement(table) doesn't work since table is not an element but a component.

 

Anyone and idea?

This isn't a direct answer to your question but

HTML Component is obsolete. Use Custom Visualization component instead. It allows to use svg.

hozawa, is that supported through jasper 5.6.1?

EDIT: I found something interesting here: http://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/custom-visualization-component-jaspersoft-studio-v56x

I am not sure however if it will be usable.

Since I wasn't expecting as much action here as on StackOverflow, I posed my question there as well. The answer to my problem is written there:
