Hi, In an earlier version of JasperReport I was constructing my report with java. So I was constructing a JRDesignTextField with borders like this : Code: JRDesignTextField Jrdtf = new JRDesignTextField(); Byte b = Byte.valueOf("5"«»); Color c = new Color(-16777216); Jrdtf.setLeftBorder(b); Jrdtf.setLeftBorderColor(c); Jrdtf.setRightBorder(b); Jrdtf.setRightBorderColor(c); Jrdtf.setBottomBorder(b); Jrdtf.setBottomBorderColor(c); Jrdtf.setTopBorder(b); Jrdtf.setTopBorderColor(c); now, I am using version 2.0.5 and get warnings that the methods setLeftBorder, setRightBorder are deprecated. :( The documentation tells me to use JRBaseLineBox. But this is a class and not a method.:evil: So I have really no idea of how to set a border to a JRDesignTextField. If somebody could show me through a code sample I would be thankfull. :)
