[Box and whiskers chart in ireport]

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

[Subreport with XML data]

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

Thanks for you advice Giulio.

 

I will pursue this and report back with how it goes.

[dynamic connection for remote xml datasource]

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?

[iReport 1.2.6 hangs]

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:

[text wraps prematurely]

OK - thanks - I'll look into it.

[text wraps prematurely]

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
