Sounds like scriptlet usage....

 

with using scriptlet you can do any calculation with any field-, variablevalues of the report do different times (beforedetail, beforegroup, beforepage etc)

 

Just look at the scriptlet example how to use it.

Yes, it is possible.

 

If you make the class file available to the Report engine (put on the classpath). Then, you should be able to call the method (in this case static method) by using the fully qualified name:

 

com.name.app.MyClass.specialMethod($P{parm1}, $F{field1})

 

Now, you might have to work with that syntax a bit, but that should be possible.

 

If the method is not static, then you could create a Scriptlet that "wrapped" your functionality. The Scriplets method would get a handle to a MyClass object and call specialMethod(...) on it.

 

Either way should work.

Are you paying by that typed character? I find it very difficult to help if you don't give me more information. I gave you two options!

 

Here is how to use a static method:

 

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true">

<reportElement positionType="Float" x="10" y="15" width="80" height="1">

</reportElement>

 

<textElement>

<font reportFont="TimesBold"/>

</textElement>

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[com.name.app.MyClass.specialMethod('$F{code}', '$F{date}')]]></textFieldExpression>

</textField>

 

Let me know how that turns out. I have not tested it, but it looks like it should work. If it does not, be sure to include enough information for someone to help you. FULL Stacktrace, etc

Regarding scriptlet

 

My Method is not a static method .So how can i access this class by using scriptlet.And I want to display the Returned amount in detail band.I checked the scriptlet sample.

Ohh Karthika... you are a quite complicated guy....

 

much more easier Teodor can't describe the methods...

The ScriptletMethod "beforeDetailEval" is a method within your scriptlet-class that is called each time before a new record causes a new entry for the detailband... so for each record that method is fired once....

 

and also the other one "afterDetailEval"....

 

perhaps you should stop posting EVERY simple question that could VERY EASY be found on JasperReports-Homepage, or with the SearchFunction of that board or perhaps just with:

 

SWITCH ON YOUR BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

hth + think about, what Chuck and me told you in the other thread.... the web lives from giving AND taking not just taking/leeching!!!!!
