Example to put two reports in a final one

2004-06-15 02:37

Hi,

 

I'am new on this great library, called JasperReports and I've a problem. I think it is simple for you, but it is to difficult for me.

I have two different reports, one is with pageHeader and pageFooter and a image between header and foooter on page 1 and the second is a normal report with pageHeader, columnHeder, detail and pageFooter and more with one page. The pageHeaders and pageFooters are the same.

Is there a simple possibility to put this different reports in the same fianl document. Can you give me an example for this.

 

Thank's.

 

Bernd

So as far as I understand, you use two reports with the same pageheader/-footer just to let a kind of "title-picture" appear. And you did so, because the titleband should also have page-header/-footer like the rest of the report.

 

Perhaps this could help you:

 

1.) Create in your report two dummy groups and put your image within the groupheader of group1 and make the groupfooters bandheight to 0. Also the group2-bands should actually not get necessary, so make their height also to 0.

 

2.) set the attribute "startonnewpage" to the groups to true.

 

3.) design your page-header-footer that should appear on each page as normal within the same-named bands.

 

So that should work (in my opinion - but I didn't tried it yet)...

 

You also could use SubReports the one for the title-image and the other for the data, and put the first subreport in groupheader1 and the second in groupheader2. That should also work.

I've try that, what you wrote, but it doesn't work. I set the atribute "startonnewpage" to yes, but I don't see a new page. The data will write to the first page.

 

Here is my xml-File:

Well it must work... I just know it, because I've read it in the tips&tricks of jaspers homepage...

 

see here...

that is exactly what you want to do, isn't it?

Hi C-Box,

 

I've tried what you say, and it works fine. But on the first page I allways see the columnHeader. And I want to see only the pageHeader, the image and the pageFooter on the first page. Is it possible to supress the columnHeader on the first page?

 

Thanks Bernd

Yes it is, just put that into the "printWhenExpression" attribute of the whole ColumnHeader/-Footerband:

 

new Boolean($V{PAGE_NUMBER}.intValue()>1)

 

so I do, to surpress some static-textfields that should not appear on first but on all following pages. :-)
