Hi, I need to generate a report that always has an even number of pages regardless of the data contained therein. I have played around with the page break and adding a extra detail section but without luck... Someone have a tip, recipe or clue about how (if possible) do this? ... Why I need a even number of pages?, because our provider ALWAYS need to send our document to a double side printing output, and because we are joining two or more PDFs to get a big one where every document has to be a even number of pages to prevent a failed merge and posterior printing...hope some human can understand this :-))) Sorry about my horrible english.

Hi, In JR 3.7.x there are a element called "callouts". You can reach these in IR under the Pallet Window. These "callouts" works like sticky notes in the IR interface and in the generate XML it can be readed like this: <property name="ireport.callouts" value="##Fri Nov 12 23:12:35 GMT-03:00 2010\ncallouts.1.text=Hello World!, I'm a callout...\ncallouts.1.bounds=294,80,181,73"/> Grettings from Argentina! PS: I have attached a screenshot.

Hi, In a report with a group I need to show the GLOBAL page numbers (i.e: 1 to 10) and a per group page numbers, i.e if my group have five items I must show in the group header page 1/2 per each group (if each item take two pages obviously). I have solved this, but I consider that in a poor way. I have open this thread to ask a more experienced JR programmer/designer if there are a more optimal way to get this done. My way: <variable name="GROUP_PAGE_COUNTER" class="java.lang.Integer" resetType="Group" resetGroup="group_id" incrementType="Page" calculation="Sum"> <variableExpression><![CDATA[($V{PAGE_NUMBER}.equals(new Integer(1))?new Integer(2):new Integer(1))]]></variableExpression> <initialValueExpression><![CDATA[new Integer(1)]]></initialValueExpression> </variable> A better method? anyone?... thanks a lot. PS: I have attached a working example to ilustrate this. Grettings from Argentina! Post Edited by pablodc at 12/11/2010 22:32

What if you launch in your program the report generation from a java Thread? ... or you can read the iReport 3 code and take a look so you can emulate the behaviour in this program. Grettings from Argentina!

Ok. I have learned something new today. Thanks by your time. Grettings from Argentina!

I have tried this with JR 3.71 - iReport 3.7.1 and the bug/feature exists. Look at attached files. I'dont know if this is related to iText of if is just a JR "behaviour" Grettings from Argentina!

Hi Lucian, I have attached a report with a list element. The same report used to test what you have suggested to Faisal. Feel free to edit it to show your point. Thanks. Grettings from Argentina!

Have you tried to create dummy groups and put subreports inside this groups?, I don't know if it is possible for your report but surely will helps to, in a way, check if the error is reproducible. Good luck! Grettings from Argentina! p.s: btw, you can try set the subreports elements as "opaque" in its properties and look if this helps in something. Post Edited by pablodc at 12/05/2010 22:42

Hi Ned, In iReport 3.0.x while the report is filled there are a chance to stop the java Thread and then stop the process: in the lower right corner exists a window with the action performed by the iReport, when it is exporting the report i.e you can read "Generating report", doing a right click in this message the contextual menu have a option "Cancel/stop this thead". Hope this help, I don't know if this "feature" exists in the Netbeans iReport releases. Good luck! Grettings from Argentina! Post Edited by pablodc at 12/05/2010 22:43

Hi, You can define a style and then using conditional styles can define X styles to change colors. How many colors do you need to use in your report?. If you need just two colors instead styles you can use a "zebra" aproach (alternate colors in two overlapped fields with a Print When Expression), each field with a color. Good luck! Grettings from Argentina!

I have tried with a empty list (btw in JR 3, where I stuck, this control does not exists) and applied to it a style with borders but when I put this for the Datasource: new net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JREmptyDataSource(5) I get a single rectangle that expands and not five rectangles... what I doing wrong?, I using iReport 3.7.1. Thanks Grettings from Argentina!

sorry, I have confused this topic with a one from the iRepor forum. hope you get a anwser. good luck Post Edited by pablodc at 07/05/2010 08:54

I think there are no way to create dinamically objects in a jrxml way. If you create a program that write the .jrxml you can do this, but from design almost sure that not. I don't know if with a scriptlet and some magic you can do what you want... good luck Grettings from Argentina!

Hi, If you download de JasperReports project, in the "demo/samples" folder there are a "no report" example, maybe this is what you are looking for. Good luck! Grettings from Argentina! Post Edited by pablodc at 04/05/2010 09:12

Hi, The fields XPath expressions are wrong. You have: <field name="nome" class="java.lang.String"> <fieldDescription><![CDATA[/funcionarios/funcionario/nome]]></fieldDescription> </field> <field name="matricula" class="java.lang.String"> <fieldDescription><![CDATA[/funcionarios/funcionario/matricula]]></fieldDescription> </field> <field name="cargo" class="java.lang.String"> <fieldDescription><![CDATA[/funcionarios/funcionario/cargo]]></fieldDescription> </field> Try with: <field name="nome" class="java.lang.String"> <fieldDescription><![CDATA[nome]]></fieldDescription> </field> <field name="matricula" class="java.lang.String"> <fieldDescription><![CDATA[matricula]]></fieldDescription> </field> <field name="cargo" class="java.lang.String"> <fieldDescription><![CDATA[cargo]]></fieldDescription> </field> You can change the fields XPath from its properties in the IDE. Good luck! grettings from Argentina!

Hi, Have you tried to shrink the subreport height in the master report?, the subreport element must expand automatically; perhaps this helps you a bit. Good luck!

Hi I think you must use the "No data" band. To enable it search in the report properties and in the "When no data" select "No data section" instead of "blank page", then expand the "No Data" section and put on it the message you want to display when the XPath don't returns any information. Hope this helps you. Grettings from Argentina.

Hi Soundararajan, You must set the property "Stretch with overflow" in the textfield, so the field can grow when don't have enought space to show the data. BTW: any other object that you put in the design below the textfield must have the property "Position Type" as Float, so that if the text field grows the other object can be re-arranged in the design dinamically. Good luck

Have you set the language as "java" or "Java"?, can be a case mistake?

Hi, As far as I know none of the export formats supported by JR has double side printing capability. We have ported printings from PCL macros where you can fired a double side printing but JR is not a printing language. Have you contemplated use pre-printed forms?

Hi, The uggly and dirty way perhaps can be to create three fields: 1.) Description, i.e "Volume", aligned left in the container and type "solid", not transparent 2.) Value, i.e 600 m2 of the same type of #1 but aligned to the right 3.) a field with the wide of the container, transparent and locate above the fields #1 and #2 I have attached a example. Good luck

Hi, have you tried just removing the language attribute?. Grettings.

Hi José, You can use the "Print When Expression" to accomplish what you need. Just put a subreport over the other subreport in the design and use the "Print When Expression" conditional. Good luck.

Hi reggie, I have defined markup text in this way and works on Windows and Linux, perhaps you are missing the pdfFontName attribute: <text><![CDATA[bold, italic and underlined text: <style isBold="true" isItalic="true" isUnderline="true" pdfFontName="Helvetica-BoldOblique">www.ssn.gov.ar</style>]]></text> Is true that I' using regular fonts, but with embebed fonts must works fine too. grettings.

Maybe this code helps: import java.io.File; /** @author Ram, Matthews */ public class Main { public static void main(final String[] args) throws Throwable { final String pathSep = System.getProperty("path.separator"); final String list = System.getProperty("java.class.path"); for (final String path : list.split(pathSep)) { final File object = new java.io.File(path); if( object.isDirectory()) ls(object); else System.out.println(object); } } /** list recursively */ private static void ls(File f) { File list[] = f.listFiles(); for (File file : list) { if (file.isDirectory()) ls(file); else System.out.println(file); } } }
