Overlapping Subreports created with API

2004-09-06 01:27

Hello!

 

I created a master report wich contains several subreports. All reports are created dynamically using the API. The subreports should be placed each other (floating) inside the master report.

 

But the subreports seam to overlap instead.

 

To set the width of the subreports to "1" didn't help.

 

Each subreport used singular is filled and displayed correctly.

 

Here is the resulting XML Code of the master report.....

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE jasperReport PUBLIC "-//JasperReports//DTD Report Design//EN" "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jasperreport.dtd">

Hi,

 

try to put each SubReport into a dummygroup (without any expression). You will see it works! :-)

Hello C-Box,

 

i tried ...

 

JRDesignGroup group = new JRDesignGroup();

group.setName(name+"GRP");

JRDesignBand groupHeader = new JRDesignBand();

groupHeader.setHeight(100);

groupHeader.addElement(subreportDesign);

group.setGroupHeader(groupHeader);

jasperDesign.addGroup(group);

 

...

 

But that didn't realy help.

 

Can you give me a short example, wich shows the way to put a SubReport into a group.

 

Thanks ,

 

Volker

I just use iReport as designer for my reports, so I don't have any example how to do that programmatically.

The way you did sounds ok, but I've never done it. So I can't really help you going on.

 

Perhaps you should remove the stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" and use instead the "RelativeToTop" instead. Perhaps that helps already.

Hi C-Box,

 

thanks for your help. But some tests with different

stretchTypes and positionTypes didn't lead to the demanded result.

 

Can you post or email a XML-Example for a masterReport?

 

best regards,

 

Volker

I can post you a group section.. it's everytime the same logic in my masterreport. (so every group looks equal)

 

for instance here is a group that contains a subreport where some signs are printed (image and text out of a CustomDataSource):

 

(Note that I use a parameter called "DataContainer" where all needed SubReports and it's corresponding datasources are located within - so I don't have MANY parameters for each subReport and for each datasource but therefpr ONE parameter that contains ALL needed objects)

 

<group name="UnterschriftGroup" isStartNewColumn="false" isStartNewPage="false" isResetPageNumber="false" isReprintHeaderOnEachPage="false" minHeightToStartNewPage="0" >

<groupExpression><![CDATA[null]]></groupExpression>

<groupHeader>

<band height="0" isSplitAllowed="true" >

</band>

</groupHeader>

<groupFooter>

<band height="120" isSplitAllowed="true" >

<subreport isUsingCache="true">

<reportElement

mode="Opaque"

x="1"

y="0"

width="538"

height="120"

forecolor="#000000"

backcolor="#FFFFFF"

key="element-152"

stretchType="NoStretch"

positionType="FixRelativeToTop"

isPrintRepeatedValues="true"

isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"

isPrintInFirstWholeBand="false"

isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="false">

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[new Boolean($P{DataContainer}.getVertriebPrintProperties().isMitUnterschriften())]]></printWhenExpression>

</reportElement>

<parametersMapExpression><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}]]></parametersMapExpression>

<dataSourceExpression><![CDATA[$P{DataContainer}.getClonedDSUnterschrift()]]></dataSourceExpression>

<subreportExpression class="dori.jasper.engine.JasperReport"><![CDATA[$P{DataContainer}.getSRUnterschrift()]]></subreportExpression>

</subreport>

</band>

</groupFooter>

</group>

 

 

the whole subreport is printed when a special condition is filled (here: $P{DataContainer}.getVertriebPrintProperties().isMitUnterschriften() )

but that is just a special case of my design.

 

perhaps it helps you going on?!?

Thanks a lot!

Please, say how fixed!

[dima_toxsoft]

I found solution.

If use for each SubReport an own DataSource then it work.
