Hi - I am needing a box and whiskers style graph in a report. It is not quite a standard box and whiskers graph, but I thought there might be some smart java coders who would be able to create a scriptlet class where I could pass in some parameters and the chart is rendered. I have put this request on getacoder and am happy to pay for it's development http://www.getacoder.com/projects/jasper_reports_jfreecharts_dev_120750.html cheers, Anthony

Hi I have read the Ultimate guide, but am obviously missing something (hopefully simple....) 1) I want a master report to call a sub report using an xml data source (using the full xml doc as the datasource) 2) I can get the sub report to work fine with the xml datasource. 3) If I try to call it via master report, I get a blank page. I have attached the sample xml, master and subreport thanks for any help Anthony

Brilliant - that was it. Thanks for your help Anthony

Thanks for you advice Giulio. I will pursue this and report back with how it goes. Cheers, Anthony

Hi, We've been working very well with iReport for about 5 years now, and always been using a JDBC connection direct to a database. We now need to use iReport with a remote xml dataset, and have successfully used xpath2 to do this. However, we now want the URL to be dynamic – so, it will take a parameter that specifies what dataset to retrieve. So - instead of http://www.website.com/dataset.php it will be something like http://www.website.com/dataset.php?ID=6 The report would pass in the parameter 6 in this case. A different report, requiring a different set of xml data, would pass in a different parameter to specify a different data set. For security reasons, each ID expires after 2 hours, so the ID will change continually. So, we want the final remote URL to be <URL> + parameter Our problem is that we can't work out how to specify a dynamic runtime connection and get an iReport parameter and pass it into the connection. I'm guessing this is easy to do, but I'm just missing somethng - the latest book hints at it, but doesn't give an example :-( From page 186 of the latest version of the ultimate guide: "Alternatively, the XPath expression can be set directly inside the report. I always suggest to use a report defined Xpath expression. The advantage of this solution is the ability to use parameters inside the XPath expression, which acts like a real query on the supplied XML data" Does anyone have any pointers? Ta Anthony

Don't know if this helps, but I had another (java?) applicatin, that if I opened first, it would cause iReport to hang on start up. I simply started iReport first, and that solved the problem. I could start the other app after that the application was a flash movie player: http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/article/flv-player-updated

OK - thanks - I'll look into it.

Hi all, I have a strange text wrapping issue. I've attached a very simple jrxml file to demonstrate the problem - just has one field in report. When I run the attached jrxml file via windows, it wraps correctly (see sample PDF). However, if I run the same report via linux/tomcat, it wraps the text incorrectly (creates an additional line for the text that it does not need) (see sample PDF). Any ideas? thanks in advance Anthony [file name=text_wrap.zip size=3283]http://www.jasperforge.org/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/text_wrap.zip[/file]
