[jasperreports maven plugin?]

 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.

[PDF Rendering Depends on Server Environment]

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].

[HTML export - IDs for all elements]

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.

[Optional Columns]

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!

[how to create a new tab in XL using same dataset]

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.

 

[Possibl To Conditionally Set Transparent/Opaque ?]

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].

[Reporting on HTML Data]

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,

[Optional Columns]

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.

[Using ArrayList as a field datatype in jrxml file]

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

[Use of Variable as index to List]

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.
