Hi, I am currently using JasperReports-4.0.1 which requires iText-2.1.7, commons-digestor-2.1 for a commercial web application for my client to generate PDFs. We have decided to use jasper in our application since it provide ability to design templates for PDF. I have few questions on the same: i) Should i buy licences for JasperReport-4.0.1 and iText-2.1.7 ? (assuming commons-digestor under apache licence which need not be required to buy licence) ii) Is it possible for jasper to work with the latest iText-5.0.6.jar ?. If so, should i buy licence for that ?. Kindly help me to proceed with the same. Thanks, Alex

Hi Jasper Team, First I would like to appreciate for provding the tool with good capabilities. My Requirement : I have a report with 3 or 4 pages where I want a section in 2nd page (which will be well within a page) not to spill over two pages. If the content cannot be filled in the remaining space of a page, it should be page breaked and printed in the next page. (This section has a sub-report which inturn some more sub-reports but all within a page.) What I did : I set the detail band property to 'Split Type' to 'Prevent'. Problem: When i run the reports with test data, for some of the inputs i get the below exception. I dont know wat to do. If i give some vertical space between the first object from the detail band line, it works. But i cant be sure of that. ??? - Is this a right way to prevent a page filling across two pages. Kindly help me on this.

Any information would be helpful...

Hi, I would require your help on some of the below questions: Im assessing different ways of doing the same thing. Setup- Im using a grails app with the jasper plugin. I would like to generate PDF. i) I know chain()ing to the jasper controller is the recommended way for generating report. i) chain() is redirect. Why do we have a redirect instead of a forward ?. Is it the best way and why ?. ii) In chain(), the Jasper doesnt support Domain (with hibernate ql) objects directly. Althought Value Object is a possible way of doing the same, If I would like to do write my own code to do the same i would like your comments on the below things, i) How come the same Domain obejct works if i fill and export the PDF myself by calling the API directly. ii) About the compilation process: I feel compiling the JRXML is a uncessary step since we might already have .jasper file. a) So, Is there any api for given a .JRXML file path, the api should check if the jasper file is already present or changed/updated, it should compile/recompilel the JRXML file and return the JasperPrint to generate the PDF. iii) Can i use the org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.jasper. JasperController class directly to generate the reports instead of using the controller. Kindly help me with your thoughts. Thanks, Alex
