Our reports are mostly financial -- generl ledger reports, jobcost reports, purchaseorders, workorders, etc.. Initially we started out using BigDecimal for everything... but have encountered some 'unweildliness' along the way.. now we are considering using Double... I understand the internal representation and rounding issues... just curious if anyone has opinions on this or if I am overlooking some pitfalls that come with Double. thanks Steve

is there a way to reference other javascript files -- so that I could have a library of formatting functions for instance? thanks Steve

I have been formatting some text using a java helper class. Now that we have javascript capability ( very nice ) I am converting some of my reports... but it appears that if I use javascript for a report, I cannot access my java helper class... is this true?

When I use java for my expressions, it appears they must be true expressions. But when I use javascript for the expressions, I can get away with some iteration... for example.. this appears to work in javascript: var f="foo"; var b="bar"; var g=f.concat(b); g=g.substring(1); g; is this type of iterative evaluation only available when using javascript for expressions? thanks Steve

how to make a rectangle or frame grow with subrpt?
stevenell replied to dprogrammer's topic in Products
try using frames instead of rectangles. I ran into something similar in the detail band... I wound up putting each subreport inside of a frame, and then wrapping all 3 of those frames inside of another frame. My border was on the outside frame. I had no trouble making the outer frame grow... Steve -
I see there is a classpath setting in iReport... I use that to include a jar file that contains our jasper utility classes for formatting strings, etc.. in that jar I have a class com.foo.bar.JasperUtils when I want to use a method in the class I currently do something like this com.foo.bar.JasperUtils.doSomething(${myfield}) my question: is there a way to 'import' a package so that I dont have to specify the full package name on the class JasperUtils.doSomething(${myfield}) instead of com.foo.bar.JasperUtils.doSomething(${myfield}) ( i know i could just compile the class into the default package ... just would prefer not to ) thanks Steve

i have no idea, but since nobody else has responded... this is what I would try: generate your conditional values in the query.. using case/when.. see if you get the same behavior
-
not sure if this will help you but.... I didnt do this in an entire detail row, but I did it inside of a frame and I was quite impressed that it worked. In my case, I just wanted some address fields to slide up if the 'addressfield2' was empty. basically I did everything you mentioned, but then I also changed the position properties to 'float' , so that when address2 was emtpy & not displayed, the other fields would float up. i was using ireport nb311 Steve

I have a group footer that contains a single 'subtotal' line. Sometimes this subtotal line gets pushed onto a new page... all by itself ( well... i mean that all of the associated detail lines stay on the previous page(s)) how can this be prevented? is there a way to tell jasper to keep the footer w/ at least x number of detail lines? thanks Steve Nell
-
in case anyone else has this problem i think i found a way around this using page footers that print conditionally ( that doesnt release the footer space, but that wasnt a problem for me ) i added a subreport that prints at the end of my group.. the subreport does nothing except return a true value. i give that value to my 'group-finished-printing' variable & set the pagefoot to print only on true for that variable. 'group-finished-printing' variable resets to false on each new page Steve

I hate to mention other reporting packages, but.... BIRT has a built in sample dataset that makes it very easy to communicate with other developers about specific problems. I could always just create a small example of my problem against the sample dataset and send the report file to the forum. Is there such a sample dataset for Jasper? thanks Steve
-
in case anyone else is having trouble w/ this i got around this the book says that iReport will compile the scriptlet in the same directory as the report -- i had trouble with that. i compiled it myself and put the class file in one of the classpath additions... that is working Steve
-
can I run a report in iReport nb 3.1.1 that uses a scriptlet? So far my efforts have resulted in java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: will not load classes from default package (workordersScriptlet) Also, can I just extend JRAbstractScriptlet and still run the report from within ireport 3.1.1 or do I have to extend IReportScriptlet? thanks Steve
-
thansk Svenn -- I did try that but I recall that it didnt solve my problem. I would like to try it again using a sample database so that I could post my .jrmxl file -- is there a sample database that comes w/ ireport or jasperreports that is typically used for this? thanks Steve
-
I see an enhancement request for this ( see below ) but I am wondering if anybody has already worked around this issue? I cant use the pagefooter because I only want the footer ( a signature block ) to appear at the end of each group in the report. ( the report is a sequence of workorders.. each workorder can span several pages.. i only want the signature block to appear on the last page of each workorder.. i am grouping on the workordernumber ) http://jasperforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2947&group_id=83&atid=373&action=edit iReport should have an option to print group footer at the bottom of page just like column footer.

Is it possible to have 2 subreports in the same band -- I see an example from the book ( pg 119 ) that shows this, but when I try it only the first subreport is visible. If I remove the first one, the next becomes visible, etc.. thanks Steve
