Accessing an array using JavaBean datasource

2005-10-17 13:50

Have these two classes and using JavaBean datasource, I need to display the contents of the details field in my report.

 

ClassA {

private ClassB[] variable1;

....

}

 

ClassB {

private String details;

....

public String getDetails() {

return details;

}

 

public void setDetails(String str) {

details = str;

}

}

 

Currently subclassed a JRAbstractBeanDataSourceProvider and in the method public JRDataSource create(JasperReport report) throws JRException ( ), I return JRBeanCollectionDataSource(list) where list is an ArrayList of ClassA

 

I created ((com.test.AgreementType[])$F{agreementType})[0].getDetails() as a variable in the report template and dropped it on my report template. It compiles but I get this exception when I run the report

 

Compiling to file... C:deveclipseworkspacedemo2Agreement_Bean.jasper -> C:deveclipseworkspacedemo2Agreement_Bean.java it.businesslogic.ireport.ReportClassLoader@372b61 Compilation running time : 235 Filling report...

So I noticed a typo in my previous email. It should read...

 

I created ((com.test.ClassB[])$F{variable1})[0].getDetails() as a variable in the report template and dropped it on my report template.

 

I got it to work but only after writing a test program which calls the JasperReports API directly. If I run it from within iReport, it still reports a class cast exception.

 

But here's another question

I can access the first element using the above expression. How do I get iReport to loop thru' all the instance of variable1 ( and then access getDetails() for each instance) since the above expression will only get me the first ClassB object ?
