Hello, Is there any way to get the "summary" band to print at the top of the report, instead of at the bottom? This report shows 4 colums. Sales person, amount sold, amount returned, and return rate. I'd like to have sums/totals appear at the top of the report, so a user that wants a quick top-down look does not have to drill down to the bottom of the report to get summary numbers. Is there any way to do this? Thanks again!

Excellent, this worked. I put: Code:<sysproperty key="java.awt.headless" value="true"/> in build.xml under the "fill" target, and it solved my issue. On a more general note, now that I can run the demo files, does anyone have any opinion as to where I should start looking next to work with JasperReports? Thanks!

Allright, I can get up to "ant fill", with the following results: $ ant fill Buildfile: build.xml fill: [java] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

I was hoping to just crunch out a pdf file and pick it up for viewing. So is there some way of invoking "ant fill" where I can do this without X11? Or can I change the DISPLAY enviromental variabl3e to something to allow this? Thanks!

All, Forgive me if what follows is totally clueless, I'm new to both jasper and java. I've installed jasper reports via the FreeBSD ports tree, and am attempting to get the samples to work. I've read the readmes in the demo/samples directory. When attempting to run "ant pdf" in demo/samples/table (or any other sample), I get: Buildfile: build.xml pdf: [java] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: TextApp [java] Java Result: 1 BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 1 second And here's the verbose output: $ ant -v pdf Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on June 2 2005 Buildfile: build.xml Detected Java version: 1.4 in: /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre Detected OS: FreeBSD parsing buildfile /home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/demo/samples/text/build.xml with URI = file:///home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/demo/samples/text/build.xml Project base dir set to: /home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/demo/samples/text Build sequence for target(s) `pdf' is [pdf] Complete build sequence is [pdf, print, javac, viewDesign, clean, view, viewDesignXML, text, fill, compile, ] pdf: [java] Executing '/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/bin/java' with arguments: [java] '-classpath' [java] '/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/demo/samples/text:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/build/classes:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/demo/fonts:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/ant-1.5.1.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/antlr-2.7.5.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/commons-beanutils-1.5.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/commons-collections-2.1.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/commons-digester-1.7.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/commons-javaflow-20060411.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/commons-logging-1.0.2.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/commons-logging-api-1.0.2.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/groovy-all-1.0-beta-10.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/hibernate3.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/hsqldb-1.7.1.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/itext-1.3.1.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/jakarta-bcel-20050813.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/jcommon-1.0.0.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/jdt-compiler-3.1.1.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/jfreechart-1.0.0.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/jpa.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/jxl-2.6.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/mondrian-2.0.1.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/png-encoder-1.5.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/poi-2.0-final-20040126.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/servlet.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/xalan.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/xercesImpl.jar:/home/jake/jasper/jasperreports-1.2.5/lib/xml-apis.jar' [java] 'TextApp' [java] '-Tpdf' [java] '-FTextReport.jrprint' [java] [java] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are [java] not part of the command.
