Text field shading every odd line

[dunham]

I have a "Text Field" that reads from a Map parameter "number" defined like this

String number = "first line n second line n third line";[/code]

I want to shade every second line like this:

Here is the definition of the "Text Field"

  <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true">                <reportElement x="110" y="77" width="110" height="11"/>                <textElement verticalAlignment="Middle">                    <font fontName="SansSerif" size="8" isBold="false"/>                    <paragraph lineSpacing="Fixed" lineSpacingSize="10.0" leftIndent="2"/>                </textElement>                <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}.get("number")]]></textFieldExpression>            </textField>[/code]

-> Is there a way to define it so that every odd line in the text field has a background color?

you can use table in basic element.

in the table style setup, remove all header and footer (if u dont need it). you can differ the odd row color by checking "use alternated detail rows background"

 

this one help me when i havent found the table element

You could also use a Conditional Style with just an expression like $V{REPORT_COUNT} % 2 == 0 to set another background color to your textfields. (be aware, not to define a separate background colör at textfield level itself just at the style level!)

Then you wont need a extra table component.
