Subreport path can only be defined hardcode?

2005-07-15 11:20

Hi,

 

I would like to know if the subreport path can only defined hardcode (eg: "C:/Reports/project.jasper")

 

If all of the files were on the same directory, can't I include the .jasper file only by the file name eg: ("project.jasper")

 

Is there some way of use subreport without have to harcode the path?

 

Thanks

Yes!

 

i pass all my main reports a parameter, $P{Path} which is of type String. i seed this parameter from my java calling code with :

 

parameters.put("Path","c:\templates\Foo\FinSummary\");

 

NOTE : You should use the path seperator from the OS, instead of the "\" - this above is windoz ONLY!

 

In my calling main reports i use

 

$P{Path} + "MyFooSub.jasper"

 

to call the report.

 

NOTE: To compile and run in iReport (during design), set the "Default Value Expression" field in the parameter list to a path to your workings. i.e. like this...

 

new String("c:\templates\design\Foo\FinSummary\")

 

luck

I tried your suggestion Walmillard but still can't get it to work.

 

I'm running the reports from a java application. I'm using iReports 0.5.0.

My reports are in the directory

 

C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameMy DocumentsCreatorProjectsappnamesrcwebresourcesreports.

 

I'm passing the full path

 

C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameMy DocumentsCreatorProjectsappnamesrcwebresourcesreports

 

to the reports at runtime in a parameter the way you said, but I'm getting an error.

 

Error generating JasperPrint:Could not load object from location :

 

Something is adding the following to the path of the sub-report

 

srcwebresourcesreports

 

so the file it's trying to load is this

 

srcwebresourcesreportsC:Documents and Settingsuser.nameMy DocumentsCreatorProjectsappnamebuildresourcesreportssd_by_workflow_sub_jobs.jasper

 

instead of C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameMy DocumentsCreatorProjectsappnamebuildresourcesreportssd_by_workflow_sub_jobs.jasper.

 

It appears that iReports or Jasper is adding the extra directories. Anyone know how to stop it doing that?
