Sub report not getting displayed in the master report

[shrikant_anjarlekar]

Hello, I am using jasper report where I need to specify State office address based on state the customer belongs to. I have all address in a state wise csv file. I create a report to display the address using a report and passing state as a input parameter. The report work fine as a master report.

 

However when I add the same report as a sub report to a master reprot it is not displaying anything. I have gone thru all the links but of no help. I am pasting the master and child report xml's here.

Have you set up a return value from your sub-report?

[szaharia]

In the master report you used a JREmptyDataSource() as datasource expression for the subreport. The subreport will come with no data, so it is nothing to be displayed. Set an appropriate expression for the subreport datasource.

Another solution: remove the datasource expression from the subreport in the master report. In the subreport set the net.sf.jasperreports.data.adapter property with the appropriate data adapter xml file.

Hello, perlnecklace, how to set the return value for the sub report. When I click the return values the add button is disabled?

[Shazia]

Agree with Shertage. 

Return variable is not required since 'Office' field is directly displayed in subreport itself. Remove the data source expression and do as Shertage's suggestion. Also, try $P{REPORT_CONNECTION} parameter in connection expression and connection type by default as 'Use a connection expression', Datasource expression as blank.
