How can I print a thin line between each row?
Also, how can I make the rows print in alternating colors?

Thanks,
Marc

Hi Marc,
I don't know how to print a thin line.

Here is what i tried w/ bands ( alternate colors ):
For each table cell, have two overlapping text fields ( one of them w/ background color and another with out background color) and based chose the right text field based on the row count. See "1. Dynamic Element Formatting" in the page
http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/tips.tricks.html

On problem I found w/ the above approach is: some times if the cell streches ( beacuse the field is larger than the allocated space ) it looks awkward.

If you find any other soln. pls post here
Rgds.,

Regd., line here is a thought:
Pass alternate empty rows to Jasper API. And in the design insert a thin row with background color ?

Just put this code in the end of your detail section:
<line>
<reportElement x="0" y="13" width="230" height="0" forecolor="#808080" positionType="Float"/>
<graphicElement stretchType="NoStretch" pen="Thin"/>
</line>

y="13" - your detail section band height
width="230" - your detail section width.

You can see more on this in the demo section of jasper reports ("jasper" directory...)
