you are welcome :cheer:

Thank you very much for helping me. Now i m completely sure what i can do or can't with jasperReports.B) Post edited by: SoS, at: 2006/07/28 12:49

We have the chance of modifying both xml design file jrxml and compiled .jasper file before filling task.Going one step further, I want to know if it is possible to make any changes during runtime by USING REPORT SCRIPLET methods such as "beforeDetailEval()" as it is demonstrated in projects' sample AlterDesign application? :blink: Post edited by: SoS, at: 2006/07/28 10:38

i first used it with 1.2.4 (both jasper & ireport) and now i m using with 1.2.5 with no problem at all. HTML & PDF exports were ok. As you wrote, you might try some newer versions i guess. Also check if you enabled StyledText option for that textfield element. :side: Post edited by: SoS, at: 2006/07/28 06:19

Actually i noticed this necessity of recompilation some time ago. I just wanted to be SURE if i must redesign and recompile. Height attiributes will make me recompile the template design. Moreover as i mentioned in my previous post i need that info in order to complete my objectives on JasperReports.

I tried to modify a textField element in a JSP with the same approach in alterdesign sample. When i try to set an attribute to an element with the proper method call. I m always getting an error pointing at the method trying to modify the object. Something like that. org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Exception in JSP: /jasper/raporla.jsp:35 32: 33: 34: JREllipse jrell=(JREllipse)jr.getTitle().getElementByKey("ellipse-1"); 35: jrell.setBackcolor(new Color((int)(16000000 * Math.random())));; 36: 37: 38: teodord, could you please enlighten me about element modification in report scriptlet and JSP? I really need it. (preparing a prototype web application aiming to show JasperReports capabilities and this topic is my last requirement to make people impressed.)

For example, I want to bold a textfield when a flag is true and have the same textfield not bolded when the flag is false. Thanks You don't need to have 2 textfields for this. Just use the condtional expression in the textfields expression. This expression changes the current style if deger1 paramater is equal to isim field. I hope it helps. Code:($F{isim}.equals($P{deger1}) ? "<style isBold='TRUE' forecolor='red' size='20' pdfFontName='Helvetica-Bold'>" +$F{isim}+"</style>" : $F{isim} )

I ve been working on a case similar to this.I m trying to find a way to change the height value of any element or band, in RUNTIME. Can i use any method something like textField-5.setHeight="20" .So far i couldn't make it. by now i m able to design a report which generates the varying elements using conditional expresions with parameters and printWhen expressions. But i need to modify ALL element attiributes during RUNTIME according to data. I wonder if it is possible to have one element that can be modified completely in runtime by using scriptlets methods like beforeColumnInit(); Any idea, comment or solution is appreciated. Thanks.:blush: Post edited by: SoS, at: 2006/07/27 08:51 Post edited by: SoS, at: 2006/07/27 10:29
