I want to surround a subreport with a rounded rectangle, the jrxml source of detail band is shown below: <detail> <band height="6" splitType="Stretch"> <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.height" value="pixel"/> <rectangle radius="10"> <reportElement key="" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" x="0" y="0" width="565" height="5" isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true" uuid="313268d9-3fb3-444c-922b-47c967b643e0"> <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.x" value="pixel"/> <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.y" value="pixel"/> <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.height" value="pixel"/> </reportElement> <graphicElement fill="Solid"> <pen lineWidth="1.0" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#652D86"/> </graphicElement> </rectangle> <subreport> <reportElement mode="Transparent" x="0" y="0" width="554" height="5" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true" isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true" uuid="37df43d6-fb57-4ff1-97cb-6389f9bda634"> <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.y" value="pixel"/> <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.height" value="pixel"/> <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.width" value="pixel"/> </reportElement> <parametersMapExpression><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}]]></parametersMapExpression> <subreportParameter name="ORI_ACCT_ID"> <subreportParameterExpression><![CDATA[$F{ORI_ACCT_ID}]]></subreportParameterExpression> </subreportParameter> <subreportExpression><![CDATA["/Sub-Template/dms_company/mul_charge_company_detail.jasper"]]></subreportExpression> </subreport> </band> </detail> and here is the design: The problem is , there's always extra withespace at the bottom of detail band when it overflows into next page, as you can see here: How can I remove the whitespace?
