jrxml layout

2005-07-15 14:09

hey, i'm new to jasperReports, and i've been having some problems finding documentation that can help fix the project i'm currently working on.

 

I need to create the jrxml file at runtime, then do all that other good stuff with it later on. My problem is, how can i use a list of javabeans as the datasource rather than a direct connection to a database.. as my project does not always allow me to directly access the file system.

 

i've tried to find the utimate guide.. but it's still down, and i really don't want to try to find a pirated copy of it.

 

could someone please post an example of how to use a list of javabeans as the datasource, then access certain fields from them?

 

 

thanks in advance,

jack

Hi,

 

If you download the project source files package, you'll

find a "datasource" sample and a "noxmldesign" sample.

The first show you how to fill reports using JavaBeans

based data source and the second shows how to create

report templates on-the-fly using the API.

Make sure you really need dynamic report template.

Usually report templates are static and designing the

JRXML files using a GUI like iReport or JasperAssistant

is the simplest and best approach.

 

I hope this helps.

Hi ,

 

Did u find out a solution for this.. I have attributes which will vary every time and are genrated during run time.

Can any one tell me how to design a template with out using iReport how to do it. becoz using iReport we can only do it for static fields that wanna display in a report. but mine is completely different.

 

Plz suggest. quite a bit urgent.
