Hi all !

When Ireport generate the xml code, it put CDATA attribute, but this, generate an error with the printWhenExpression Tag, for example :

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[((String)$P{MyParameter}).equals("S")]]></printWhenExpression>

Is there an Ireport option, not to generate CDATA ?
Why it generate this..?

Thank you for advance !

what version are you using. There were a number of problems around verions between .0.0.7 and .0.0.8 with printwhenexpressions not formatting properly. Version 0.0.9 works.

Also, formula needs to be

new Boolean($P{MyParameter}.equals("S"))

hi nay,

<![CDATA[ ... ]]>

is XMl syntax and is not considered by XML parsers. This syntax permit the use of xml special characters like "<" or ">".

CDATA is not the root of your problem.

You must return a Boolean object, for this reason your expression is wrong. The right one is this:

new Boolean( $P{MyParameter}.equals("S") )

Have a nice day.

<printWhenExpression> and [CDATA issue
2003-06-12 05:31
Whenever i put something like this:

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[
new Boolean(....)</printWhenExpression>]]>

Reports compiles correctly and works. But i reopen the report xml file in iReports all of <![CDATA[ ]]> is gone and only thing that is left is new Boolean(...).

why is that? any work around to that?

I don't understand why you need a similar expression...(with ]]> after the </printWhenExpression> closed tag... howerver try to disable UTF-8 "special" support from tools->options-> Enable support for UTF-8 loading.

Good Luck

Giulio

Opss i meant before </printWhenExpression>:

<printWhenExpression>
<![CDATA[
new Boolean(....)
]]>
</printWhenExpression>

OK,

<![CDATA[ and ]]> are XML reserved keywords and are stripped out from iReport when it resents expressions to you. There is no way to load it as part of the expression.
