Setting style at run-time

2006-01-17 05:02

I am using iReport 0.5.3 with JasperReports 1.1.1. I have defined a style in my report using iReport and applied it to some text fields (let's call this style 'col_header'). When I run the report from my java program, it works well and also shows the text fields with the applied style. Now, is there a way, where I can get col_header style from report during run-time and modify some of it's properties. I have tried the following way, but this did not work. It still shows the text fields with earlier style. Basically I want to externalize the style for my reports(similar to css in HTML). Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

 

 

//Code Snippet

 

JasperPrint jasperPrint = jasperPrint(dataSource, reportParameters, templateLocation);

 

JRStyle style = jasperPrint.removeStyle("col_header");

 

//Altering few properties in style

style.setFontSize(12);

style.setForecolor(new Color(50,50,50));

 

//Adding the modified style to the report

jasperPrint.addStyle(style);

 

JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, "/sample.pdf");

//

This was rather a bug. The print element templates were not referencing the same JRStyle objects as the ones in JasperPrint.

 

The fix is available on CVS (look for

net/sf/jasperreports/engine/fill/JRFillElement.java rev 1.26).
