Can't u use a XML datasource to populate the fields?

All your text should be passed as parameters from your application to the ireports design file. Example: if you're displaying text 'Demo text', create a parameter 'demo' to be displayed instead, and from your application pass parameters map with ('demo', 'Demo text')

How do you configure your dataset based on a parameter?

In the band properties, write in the print when expression field: $V{PAGE_NUMBER}.equals(new Integer(1))

You can define parameter expressions to be passed to the subreport, and then process the value in the subreport (caompare or display whatever you want).

Try this: $F{int_field}==1?'TRUE': 'FALSE'

For subreports, if you are using a datasource connection type, set the expresion to: new net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanCollectionDataSource($F{list_field}) In the subreport, set the fields according to your master recordings list passed to the subreport.

Use float option from property Position type

Your ireport classpath contains jasperreports jars?

I use the following code the generate a pdf to output stream from a custom datasource. A also load directelly the compiled .jasper file so you don't have to compile the .jrxml file for each run. is = ReportConstants.getPdfJasperFilename(); ds = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(getSortedBean()); try { JasperReport jasperReport = (JasperReport) JRLoader.loadObject(is); JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, ds); JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(jasperPrint, os); } catch (JRException e) { e.printStackTrace(); logger.error(e); }
