subreports

2004-12-21 05:08

My current subreport-structure looks like this:

 

I load the design of the master report. In that master design xml I add as much subreports (which are already .jasper files) as Parameters.

By doing that a user can define as many subreports he likes. Currently I'm aligning my subreports like this: positionType="Float" . After that also the master report is compiled.

 

The problem is: I have to align my subreports in the master report design before they are filled. At that time I don't know what dimensions the subreports will have, when they are filled.

When I export a report with moren than one subreport into pdf, it can be, that the pdf report has the following structure (using 3 subreports) :

 

master Report title

subreport1 title

subreport1 image1

subreport2 title

subreport3 title

/pagebreak

subreport1 image2

subreport1 image3

subreport1 image4

/pagebreak

subreport2 image1

subreport2 image2

subreport2 image3

/pagebreak

subreport2 image4

subreport3 image1

subreport3 image2

/pagebreak

end

 

So the title sections of the second and third subreport appear earlier as they should.

 

Is it possible to provide ready filled .jrprint subreports to a master report design?

Or is there another way to solve that problem?

 

Thanks for help,
