When using two templates to create a report (say for example one for a fax cover sheet and the other for the fax data), does one template have any access/visibility to the other?

Is it a best practice to apply only one jrxml to a particular report? Asked another way, is it uncommon to create a report out of two or more jrxml's?

I've blanked out the actual field names, CDATA values, etc. for confidentiality purposes.

I've created a report out of two jrxml's. The first jrxml represents a "Fax Cover Page". The other jrxml represnts the details of the report. I want to list the total number of pages on the so called "cover sheet" , but the total pages count is always '1'.. Is this because there are two jrxml's, the first of which is the "Cover Page", and it will only count page numbers per jrxml? I'm generating a PDF, and it works fine except for the page number count.. Here is how I have it in the jrxml: <textField evaluationTime="Report"> <reportElement x="200" y="200" width="100" height="20"/> <textFieldExpression class="java.lang.Integer"><![CDATA[$V{PAGE_NUMBER}]]></textFieldExpression> </textField> This is in a detail section. Thanks, Nathan
