Hi All ,
I have a query which returns multiple records . The pdf is generated fine . But all of them in one pdf file .Is there any way that they be generated saperately . For ex if there are 5 records returned can 5 pdf's be generated

Thanks
Padmini

Why not change the way your app is designed. Instead of pulling in all the data with one query, get the distinct values that create your five data sets into a list and modify the query and restrict the result set each time by passing one element from the list at a time during pdf generation.

I think that would be a cleaner way of doing it. That particular functionality is, then, not embedded deep in the middleware (abstracted) layer of your app, but rather out in the open in the app-specific/app-generic layer of your architecture and visible to people (who may know nothing about JasperReports) who may later on be charged with maintaining the app.
