I have seen this question being asked unsuccessfully before in this forum, but i'll ask anyways: Any chance i can pass in the orientation for the report as a parameter?

This is the age-old question: how do i change the font used in the report dynamically? I have gone through the forum and found the following answers: 1. make as many lines as there are fonts and use printWhen to get the right font to print. This is a hack. 2. use a parameter or field to determine the font and change the <style> in the field. this one is still very cumbersome. if you have a hundred fields to show, putting the <expr> ? val1 : val2 with all the <style> stuff is tedious. What's the laziest way to get this done :) could i define <style>s at the beginning and then use the expression in 2. and switch between the styles? Is there a cleaner way to do this through my datasource? Thanks, Nilesh

Folks, I'm trying to pass a parameter into my subreport from the main report, and this is what i have: in main report: <subreport isUsingCache="true"> <reportElement x="25" y="5" width="501" height="128"/> <parametersMapExpression> $P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP} </parametersMapExpression> <subreportParameter name="contractProxy"> <subreportParameterExpression> <![CDATA[$P{contractProxy}]]> </subreportParameterExpression> </subreportParameter> <subreportExpression class="net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport"> <![CDATA[$P{GeneralInfoSubReport}]]> </subreportExpression> </subreport> So i have tried passing the parameter as both an individual one, as well as the whoel param map. In the subreport, i say, <parameter name="contractProxy" class="..."/> ... <textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"> <![CDATA[$P{contractProxy}.getValue("contractID")]]> </textFieldExpression> And i get the following error: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file: 1. com.sabre.airprice.ContractProxy cannot be resolved to a type value = (java.lang.String)(((com.sabre.airprice.ContractProxy)parameter_contractProxy.getValue()).getValue("contractID")); <------------------------------> 2. com.sabre.airprice.ContractProxy cannot be resolved to a type value = (java.lang.String)(((com.sabre.airprice.ContractProxy)parameter_contractProxy.getValue()).getValue("contractID")); <------------------------------> 3. com.sabre.airprice.ContractProxy cannot be resolved to a type value = (java.lang.String)(((com.sabre.airprice.ContractProxy)parameter_contractProxy.getValue()).getValue("contractID")); <------------------------------> 3 errors The same textFieldExpression in my main report compiles without a hitch. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nilesh

Tim, On an unrelated topic, I apologize for "decreasing your karma". i had no idea what those thumbs up/down icons were, and i thought it would give me info on those, and instead, it "decreased your karma", whatever that means. i had no intention of doing that.

Tim, then i must be missing something. My masterreport.jrxml is only 110 lines long, so it doesn't have line 195. Also, you speak of a productReport.jrxml, which wasn't in the zip file i downloaded. i have attached my subreport sample zip file. could you somehow send me the zip you have? [file name=masterreport.zip size=48211]http://www.jasperforge.org/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/masterreport.zip[/file]

Folks, I'm looking at the samples, and i was checking out the subreports sample, and either i don't understand how it works, or something is missing or both. The zip file contained the following files: MasterReport.html MasterReport.jrxml MasterReport.pdf Shouldn't there be a jrxml or something for the subreport part? basically i can't figure out where the subreport text is coming from. e.g. in the left column it says, "Products ordered by people in <City>", and on the right side it says, "Addresses in <city>", but i don't see this text in the MasterReport.jrxml.
