So I have a basic report in iReport 3.7, has a background band, no query and all parameters in a HashMap. No other data. I have the whenNoData set to "All Sections no detail" since there is no query. ( but there are parameters in the deatil band! tried oving them but still no luck) I have tried using a query and not using the results, the JREMptyDataSource and the fillReport(report, params) methods all resulting in an empty report, meaning the pdf is created and is blank, (4K). The parameters are fine. I have verified the dependencies are there and same compile version as runtime version. What am I missing? btw, not new to JasperReports.... debug options? Java 1.5.0_22 / JBoss 4.0.3 / JasperReports 3.7 + dependencies accodring to website. ( not for excel though, not used) Code:Map parameters = shipmentToParameterMap(shipment, isCBL); JREmptyDataSource eds = new JREmptyDataSource(1);JasperPrint printObject = JasperFillManager.fillReport(ciJaspFile, parameters, eds);byte[] ba = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(printObject);ORMap parameters = shipmentToParameterMap(shipment, isCBL);JasperPrint printObject = JasperFillManager.fillReport(ciJaspFile, parameters);byte[] ba = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(printObject); Post Edited by jc_mccauley at 04/10/2010 15:33
