By: Chris Beels - cbeels Overflow - inf loop in new version 2002-11-01 17:26 We were thinking about upgrading to the new Jasper version, but when we tried to run with it, we get an "Infinite loop error" having to do with "willOverflow". I imagine this may have to do with the fact that we place elements in the PageHeader on all parts of the page (and get a Warning : Element placed outside band area), but there isn't really an alternative to this as the header bands the top, right and bottom edge of the page. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Overflow - inf loop in new version 2002-11-02 13:42 Hi, The problem comes indeed from the warning. You can create the frame around the page using multiple lines. You can have a glimpse of that if you check the "stretch" sample. The vertical lines should have stretchType="RelativeToBandHeight" so that the frame always close around. I hope this helps. Teodor

By: Greg - gregor92 How to create multi colored bands in detail 2002-11-01 11:11 I'd like to have the background for every other line in my detail a different color. I created a scriptlet where I passed in $V{REPORT_COUNT} to see if the line is odd or even and then returned the appropriate background color. However I'm unable to add this value to the textField background attribute. Please help.

Basically, all you have to do is to install ANT and then go to sample directory and launch commands like >ant compile >ant fill >ant view Good luck! Teodor

By: Mairead Fagan - peggynelly jasperReport suitable for my needs??? 2002-08-08 02:32 Hi I have been given the task of finding a reporting tool suitable for the project we are working on at the moment.The project uses EJBs,Oracle db and will be running on Linex.It is a web based project that will roster nurses in a hospital setting.So the reporting tool will e.g list the nurses tht worked on a particular ward on a given date. etc. Can anyone tell me is this tool suitable.As i am a junior programmer my knowledge is limited. Thank u Mairead By: ajay kumar - ajaykumar RE: jasperReport suitable for my needs??? 2002-10-28 21:46 you can pass the query: select name,ward where ward="" and date=""..is it ok.. By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: jasperReport suitable for my needs??? 2002-10-29 12:31 Hi, This SQL query won't work on any known relational database server. As you can see, the FROM clause is missing. Otherwise, you could set any SQL query in JasperReports, as long as the server undestands it and returns what you expect. Thank you, Teodor

By: Karwan Salih - salihk Multipe-page report, how to generate? 2002-10-28 06:59 Hi, I have a report that cannot fit in one page and exceeds to the second page. Is there anyway to generate tow-page report provided that each record in the RecordSet generates one set of tow-page output. Thank you in advance. By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Multipe-page report, how to generate? 2002-10-28 13:01 Hi, Here you are: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/tips.tricks.html#largebands Good luck! Teodor

By: Karwan Salih - salihk Variable=Sum(Fields)? 2002-10-24 13:01 Hi, I've created a one-page report that has several fields with Double values retreived from the database. Is it possible to create a variable that holds the summation of those fields at the end of the page? Each page represents one record in the RecordSet. Thanks. By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Variable=Sum(Fields)? 2002-10-27 13:11 Hi, Your variable should look like this: <variable name="MySumVariable" class="java.lang.Double" resetType="Page" calculation="Sum"> <variableExpression> new Double( $F{MyField1}.doubleValue() + $F{MyField2}.doubleValue() + $F{MyField3}.doubleValue() + $F{MyField4}.doubleValue() ) </variableExpression> </variable> If you have only one record per page anyway, the "resetType" and "calculation" attributes could be left to their default values: "Report" and "Nothing". I hope this helps. Teodor

About the exceptions, just rename the source file so that you don't have hyphens (-) in the filename. I've had similar problems and they go away by removing the hyphens. This could also eliminate the missing { exception at line 17. Good Luck.

Thanks, Shawn By: Tam Nguyen Anh - anhtam RE: Incorporating Jasper in Applets only? 2002-10-14 02:21 You just need a word processing program(notepad) to edit your own xml report-design file. Then, use this JR tool to generate the pdf report file. You can apply this tool to your application and applet too. By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Incorporating Jasper in Applets only? 2002-10-14 12:33 Hi, Could you be more precise? What exactly are you trying to do? Thank you, Teodor By: Shawn Kuenzler - basti30 RE: Incorporating Jasper in Applets only? 2002-10-17 18:29 Anyone? By: Shawn Kuenzler - basti30 RE: Incorporating Jasper in Applets only? 2002-10-14 15:01 I'd be glad to explain further. I'm developing an information system (specifically a Reservation system) for my senior project. There is no implementation, I just have to demonstrate it. So I've created a program with several applets which I will run from BlueJ, the IDE I'm using. So rather than some Java Apps with their XML and HTML files incorporated in the project, mine only has applets and other classes. I have an Access database and I'm using JDBC to connect to it. Please let me know if you have any further questions. I appreciate your help and any details you can give me in order to put Jasper Reporting in my program. Thanks, Shawn By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Incorporating Jasper in Applets only? 2002-10-18 12:50 Hi, I don't say it cannot be done. But first you have to be aware of all the restriction applets have, like security restictions and stuff. I'm not an expert in Java applets, but it seem to me that the difficulties you are going to encouter will be related to those applet restrictions and not to the JasperReports library itself. Try to create an applet that reads something from a file on your computer. After succeeding that, you'll be ready to use JasperReports in applets as you wish. Thank you, Teodor By: Shawn Kuenzler - basti30 RE: Incorporating Jasper in Applets only? 2002-10-19 08:40 Done. My program is already connected to an Access database through JDBC with no problems querying and updating. Can I get some instructions on how to start using JasperReports in my applets? Thanks! Shawn By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Incorporating Jasper in Applets only? 2002-10-19 12:54 Hi, You've done what? I didn't say connecting to a database through JDBC would be a problem when working with applets. I said trying to read or write files on disk would pose some security problems. Have you passed them? I point you to do this because JasperReports works very much with files and if there's something that should go wrong, then this would be it. Thank you, Teodor By: Shawn Kuenzler - basti30 RE: Incorporating Jasper in Applets only? 2002-10-19 13:09 Since you didn't specify, I assumed "reading and writing files on disk" would include a database file. I'll have to expirement with it some. Perhaps this is the wrong tool for me. Again, if anyone has some instructions on where to begin installation of Jasper, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Teodor, Shawn

If I use the JasperFillManager (with fillReportToStream function), I got a NullPointer exception. Do I have to dettermine if the XML report file has an SQL query or not and to use FillManager or not. Or is it a bug. What I am excepting, is that the FillManager return an JasperPrint or outputStream fill with the PDF File (no dynamic filling of it). Thanks for your help. By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Fill a report 2002-10-18 13:52 Hi, What version of JasperReports are you using? I think you won't be getting the null pointer exception if you would switch to the 0.4.2 version. If you want the engine to generate something even if there is no data in the data source, use the "whenNoDataType" attribute. I hope this helps. Teodor

By: olivier bregeas - bregeras Warning message 2002-10-17 08:26 Hi I have the fallowing chain to create my report : JasperDesign design = JasperManager.loadXmlDesign(filename); JasperReport report = JasperManager.compileReport(design); JasperPrint print =JasperManager.fillReport( report, parameters, getConnection()); JasperManager.printReportToPdfStream(print, outputStream); Everything work good except I got the following message at this point : ***************************************************************** * WARNING: JRPrinterPDF class is now deprecated. * * Use JRPdfExporter class or JasperExportManager class instead. * ***************************************************************** How can I remove it. I use jasperReport 0.4.1 (0.4.2, has some problem with JRElement and JRGroup) By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Warning message 2002-10-17 13:08 Hi, What exactly is the problem in 0.4.2 ? Thank you, Teodor By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Warning message 2002-10-17 12:53 Hi, This is only a warning message and does not necessarily represent a problem these days. You are advised to give up using the JasperManager class and use the newer, more specialized manager classes like JasperCompileManager, JasperFillManager, JasperPrintManager or JasperExportManager. When generating PDF or HTML, use the JasperExportManager class, because maybe in the future, the JasperPrintManager class will deal only with printing. And maybe we shall remove the JasperManager class altogether. Good luck! Teodor By: olivier bregeas - bregeras RE: Warning message 2002-10-18 01:03 How do I load an XML File using the new Class (which manager do I use) Thanks By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Warning message 2002-10-18 13:29 Hi, I don't know why do you need to load the XML report design manually, instead of directly compiling it. But for this kind of job you have to use the public static methods of the JRXmlLoader class. Or is it about loading already generated reports that have been exported to XML format? For this, you use the JRPrintXmlLoader. I hope this helps. Teodor By: olivier bregeas - bregeras RE: Warning message 2002-10-18 00:01 The problem is not with JasperReport itself, but with some application which use it. JasperDesign for example. The problem is with the JRElement and the function getPrintWhenGroupChanges() . In the 0.4.2 this function return a JRGroup, but JasperDesign expecta String. I think, the return type as been changed between 0.4.2 and 0.4.1. Maybe I am wrong By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: Warning message 2002-10-18 12:20 Hi, Yes, it changed. It was something I always wanted to do and finally I did it, since we are still in beta. Sorry! Teodor

By: Curtis Greg W - cgregjam How to pass parameter from a java application 2002-09-03 11:55 Can any one tell me how to pass parameter from a java application to jasper report or how to modify the select statement dynamically Thanks. By: Louis W. Lembcke - llembcke RE: How to pass parameter from a java application 2002-09-03 18:17 In your java program, you can execute (aka fill) the report using the dori.jasper.engine.JasperFillManager. This class has several static convenience methods to facilitate executing the report. These methods take, among other things, a Map object. The Map object is used to pass parameters into the report where the Map entry key is the String name of the parameter and the corresponding Map entry value is the object containing the value. The value object must be of the same type as what you declared in your <param name="..." class="..."/> tag in your report definition. You can modify the SQL statement dynamically by using those parameter values similar to normal substituted values in any prepared query. The syntax to reference a parameter value is $P{param-name}. For example... In the java of the report launcher/driver... ... java.sql.Connection dbConn = ... java.util.Map params = new java.util.HashMap(); params.put( "skippy", new Integer(42) ); JasperPrint prnt = JasperFillManager.fillReport( reportFilePath, params, dbConn ); ... In the report definition... ... <parameter name="skippy" class="java.lang.Integer" /> ... <queryString><![CDATA[ SELECT * FROM someTable WHERE someColumn = $P{skippy} ]]></queryString> Of course, your report launcher/driver can get the values for the parameters from a variety of sources: command line arguments, system properties, properties file, other xml files, database queries, jndi lookups, hard-coded, etc. Study the tutorial write-up and sample report definitions for more information. By: Curtis Greg W - cgregjam RE: How to pass parameter from a java application 2002-09-04 05:14 Thanks.

By: Maxime Levesque - maxime_levesque dori.jasper.engine.JasperReport thread safe? 2002-08-29 07:35 If it is I will use a single instance of every reports to serve every one, otherwise I will have to clone it before use... It seems like it would be a good sense for it to be a read only class, but the docs don't say..... By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: dori.jasper.engine.JasperReport thread safe? 2002-08-29 07:47 Hi, Yes it is. You can reuse your JasperReports objects. As you can see from the docs, the JasperReport objects are read-only. They only have getXXX() methods and no setXXX(). Thank you, Teodor

By: Brian Deffenbaugh - bdeffenbaugh SQL 2002-07-25 06:35 Is it possible to design the XML file to accept the SQL Statement as a paremeter? I have found examples passing in Titles and other information, but am unable to use the $P as a value for the <querystring> tag. By: Teodor Danciu - teodord RE: SQL 2002-08-05 00:46 Hi, No, this is not possible. But I think what you need is to execute the SQL query outside JasperReports and pass the ResultSet object to the report filling methods. This is perfectly feasible. Check the JasperFillManager class to see all the methods that can be used to fill a report and you will find some that receive a JRDataSource object as a parameter. You can wrap your ResultSet object into a JRDataSource object using the JRResultSetDataSource class. Good luck! Teodor
