Hello, I've started using iReport to issue reports on my Final project in JAVA. Due to language issues in the transfer between the datebase I'm using (Microsoft Access) and JAVA I have written methods to encrypt and decrypt information passed between them. I couldn't figure out how to intergrate these methods in the report. can anyone point out how to do this? thank you! Example: text in access is: 123 when I read the information from the Access database ,to a label for example, I do so like this: jLabel1.setText(translate.fromAccess(DBConnection.getByID(id))); and the result shown is abc. this is just an example to make it easier for you to understand! Thanks again :) Post Edited by theloder at 06/12/2010 11:10
