Hi, I understand that there is a mechanism to load plugins from jar file by putting a plugin descriptor file by the name "plugin.xml" in a folder by name "ireport" in the jar. This means that in a jar I can only put one single plugin descriptor file. The question is how do I put multiple plugin.xml files in a single jar file so that multiple plugins are loaded from the same jar file. Is this possible or do I have to create a seperate jar file for including each "ireport/plugin.xml"? Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for the info you have provided about how to resolve my issue. I already have extended the jrAbstractChartCustomizer class to achieve different coloring for the different bands in the charts. Anyways, i will try out what you have mentioned. The real issue is that i have to provide a GUI interface as a plugin to allow the user to do this if iReport doesn't already support it. The reason why it has to be a plugin is that i can't expect a customer to manually write a customizer class when he wants to club together some graphs. The issue is actually more generic than the specific scenario which i had mentioned before. I had used an example of bar and line graph clubbed together in the same chart. It could be actually any two types of graph which the user may want to put together. I don't have the manual right now. Our company is in the process of obtaining a commercial license. So getting a manual could take sometime. So if possible send me the small information regarding how to hook that up in the manual. Also, please do send me any code samples of how this can be achieved, if possible. my email id is anup.francis@gmail.com Post edited by: anupfrancis, at: 2006/07/27 12:51

I want to know whether it is possible to display two or more graph details in a single chart. To be more precise, graphs which will share the x-axis but y-axis will be different for both. suppose a bar graph and a line graph have to be displayed in the same chart. both will have the same x-axis value expression but different y-axis value expressions. I want know whether it is possible using the features of ireport to design such a jrxml. Will try to get an image of chart which meets my requirements and upload it asap. I believe JFreechart API supports it. But what i want to know is whether ireport helps us in designing such a report. Any help in this regard will be appreciated. given below is one specific case of using multiple graphs in a single chart. If anybody has coded to achieve something like this please mail it to me.
