Solution: Looks like the plugin is now has a released version, we updated our pom to remove the snaphot version: <!-- Plugin for jasperreports --> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>jasperreports-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> ...

same here... ... this is a showstopper of pretty high priority. please advise. thanks, /mt

Sorry, I sent the following via email... I guess it didn't make its way here: Teodor, Sorry, haven't had time to work on this at all. Initially, I was thinking that IDs for all elements would be very useful in writing integration tests, we use WebTest: http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/WebTestHome.html We have chosen a different approach in writing our integration tests, but others may benefit in this regard. In addition, I would think having IDs would provide a lot more flexibility in making interactive reports, i.e. Would facilitate the use of javascript/Ajax. This is something in our plan, but dates are not clear yet. Thanks for getting back to me. /mt

I am facing a similar issue and have a question about the locales property. How, specifically, does this property effect PDF generation? <!-- <property name="locales"> <set> <value>en_US</value> <value>de_DE</value> </set> </property> --> is this based on a given locale as input to the exporter? Is it possible to handle the case where there can be multiple languages in a generated report, say english and chinese.In my case, our app is given a locale, but that represents the locale of the person generating the report, not the settings of the data itself. Ideally there would be one font that could handle all languages, or at least many of them [unicode].

I too would be interested in this, but it looks like we need a feature request? I looked to see if there is one already; but didn't find one.

Thanks. I thought this solved my issue, but it appears the IS_REMOVE_EMPTY_SPACE_BETWEEN_COLUMNS only 'hides' the empty columns in the resulting XLS document. I have attached an image as an example (xlsImage.png). You can see the columns 'K' and 'L' have both been hidden. The report didn't find values for those fields, and we set the property to remove the empty space on the XlsExporter. This causes issues if the user wants to resort the data in the XLS document. Is is possible to completely remove such columns? thank you in advance!

Similar issue here: I have a master report that contains a subreport. Would like to display the subreport contents in one sheet, and the master report contents in another.

I am trying to create a conditonal style based on the requested format for a report. If a report is requested in XLS [and only XLS] format, i would like to make certain fields "Transparent". i have created a style named "Transparency" with a condition: new Boolean($P{FORMAT}.equals("xls")) when this is TRUE, i set the mode to "Transparent", other wise "Opaque". This doesn't appear to have any effect on the resulting xls spreadsheet. i have tested other style attributes such as font color, that changes based on requested format - no problem. do you think this is a bug, or am i doing something wrong? is there a better way to achieve this? note: i have tried using JRXlsExporter as well as JExcelApiExporter [no change in behavior]. thanks, /mt

i have a related question. thanks for the styledtext reference - it is very helpful. i applied what i found in that example and HTML and PDF format both display the correct stylized text. my issue is that i am trying to apply those styles in XLS format as well. [really just want to apply isBold] is there something unique that i have to set/configure for styledtext to work in XLS format? thanks, /mt

IS_REMOVE_EMPTY_SPACE_BETWEEN_COLUMNS only removes whitespace between elements, correct? when exporting to XLS it will not remove the designated space for the element that is to be suppressed, say, based on a printWhenExpression, correct? are there plans to implement such a feature? i do not see it in the feature request list: http://jasperforge.org/sf/tracker/do/listArtifacts/projects.jasperreports/tracker.feature_requests i would think this is a fairly common requirement. thanks, /mt

hi... i would appreciate a posting of a solution if you have found one. i have the same requirement.

Does anyone know how, or if it is possible to use a variable index on a field that is generated from a List? For instance: $F{someList[$V{someVar}].someProperty} in my case the number of values for this field is dynamic so i would need to increment someVar++ as the expression is evaluated.
