Multiple subreports in one master file

[pals169]

Hello All,

I Have issue with displaying 2 subreports in one master report. problem is that both the sub-report should  print one after another.but it is not happening.  It willl print  first  line of one subreport and after that  it will print first line of second report. and it will print whole report in this manner.

 

Attached here the file for that

I think people will need the .jrxml files to understand what's going on.

 

I'll have a look when you've posted them, this sounds like an problem I had some time back and managed to solve.

You need to have the subreports Position Type set to "float", not "fixed relative to top"

What you need is to compile all you subreports before filling your mastr report.

You can do it by clicking on preview button - we are expecting a compile button in the next version.

I've succeeded running you report

Hi andfedotov,

Your help is precious to me .Waiting for your guidence.

Do you see file historyQuestGrp.jasper in your reports folder?

If not - open historyQuestGrp.jrxml and do preview

I assume your reports are working fine when you just have a single level of subreports. I'm also assuming that you're trying to run these in an application and you're passing in the SUBREPORT_DIR parameter to your top-level report. What's happening is when your first level of subreport wants to load the second-level subreport it is looking for it at $P{SUBREPORT_DIR}+"whatever.jasper" and it's using the default value of SUBREPORT_DIR (which is ".\\"). What you need to do is have your top-level report explicitly pass its value of SUBREPORT_DIR down to the first level subreport, so it has it available for when it needs to load the 2nd level subreport. I made the same mistake the first time I did nested subreports.

Can u suggest how that can be done ???  how can i pass that parameter to second level subreport ...pls waiting for ur reply ??

[jmartens]

Sorry.  I haven't checked the forum in a while - working on another project.

In your top-level report, right click on the subreport element and bring up the Properties window.  Go to the "Subreport (other)" tab and at the bottom it shows the "subreport parameters".  Click the "ADD" button to add a new parameter.  The "name" is the name of the parameter expected by the subreport (e.g. "SUBREPORT_DIR"), and the expression is where to get the value from the main report (e.g. $P{SUBREPORT_DIR} )

Hope that helps.  (You'd probably figured it out already).
