[Nested Beans]

<a> <afield1> content1 </afield1> <b> <bfield1> content2 </bfield1> </b><b> <bfield2> content3 </bfield2> </b> </a><a> <afield1> content4 </afield1> <b> <bfield1> content5 </bfield1> </b><b> <bfield2> content5 </bfield2> </b> </a>....[/code]

If I want to keep the structure in my JasperReport, It looks like I need to place a 'detail' section within a 'detail' section. I was told I have to use 'Nested Beans' and 'table or cross tabs' to achieve this, but I cannot find any information of use in the web. Can somebody enlighten me?

[Subreport in detail section]

Ok, that is possible. Is there any explanation for this in the web?

[Subreport in detail section]

I have a xml with a structure like this

<a> <afield1> content1 </afield1> <b> <bfield1> content2 </bfield1> </b><b> <bfield2> content3 </bfield2> </b> </a><a> <afield1> content4 </afield1> <b> <bfield1> content5 </bfield1> </b><b> <bfield2> content5 </bfield2> </b> </a>....[/code]

 

Now, I want to create a jasperreport file with this xml as a source file. Obviously, I want to keep the structure with two 'dimensions' of nested tags, 'a' and 'b'.  After a bit of research, It looks like a need a supreport to achieve this. I guess, I create a detail band section for the 'a's and within each detail section I incude a subreport for listing the 'b's within the respective 'a'. Unfortunately, I did not find any documents / tutorials that explain to me what I am to do?

Therefore, my question is:

Is my assumption right at all?

If yes, how do I do that, are there any tutorials /examples covering this?

 

 

 

[How do I get to the "Report query" in Jaspersoft Studio]

In IReport, I used to fill the jrxml report with a xml file by using the report query option. Now I dont find this option in Jaspersoft Studio, eventhough it is explained in the wiki (http://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/build-reports-based-xml-datasource-using-ireport-designer), I do not know how to get to the "Report query".
