You have to specify what field you’re using in your sub report. You are passing $F{} and as you are passing a List<String> as a DataSource you should put $F{_THIS}. Of course you have to add a field with that name too, only doing that you can use the expression $F{somefield}.
Give JasperReports a try. Use iReport to create the .jrxml files. JapserReports can handle complex layouts. For those parts of the report based on different queries have a look at using subreports embedded into the main report. Just like @Adrian Smith’s solution this approach will separate the report layout editing from the data sourcing.
Passing parameter as String makes jasper report believe its a absolute file path, so you need another class. The most obvious would be java.awt.Image or java.io.InputStream. I choose java.io.InputStream since this will require less code, so the first thing we need to do now is to decode the base64 image String. There are several Base64 … Read more
You can put the staticText element without text behind the textField element. You should set stretchType property with RelativeToTallestObject value and isPrintWhenDetailOverflows property with true value. The sample: <detail> <band height=”20″ splitType=”Stretch”> <staticText> <reportElement stretchType=”RelativeToTallestObject” x=”0″ y=”0″ width=”100″ height=”20″ isPrintWhenDetailOverflows=”true”/> <box> <leftPen lineWidth=”1.0″/> <bottomPen lineWidth=”1.0″/> <rightPen lineWidth=”1.0″/> </box> <textElement/> <text><![CDATA[]]></text> </staticText> <textField> <reportElement stretchType=”RelativeToTallestObject” x=”0″ … Read more
Without seeing how you’re calling the blob to embed the image within your report code… Use blob.getBinaryStream(). Convert the stream using javax.imageio.ImageIO.read( InputStream ). For example: javax.imageio.ImageIO.read( blob.getBinaryStream() ) This will return an instance of BufferedImage, which subclasses java.awt.Image, and should be a suitable object to embed in the report. The blob variable shown in … Read more
Here is my working sample. The font definition file (I dig it from the font’s jar file): <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <fontFamilies> <fontFamily name=”Arial”> <normal><![CDATA[fonts/arial.ttf]]></normal> <bold><![CDATA[fonts/arialbd.ttf]]></bold> <italic><![CDATA[fonts/ariali.ttf]]></italic> <boldItalic><![CDATA[fonts/arialbi.ttf]]></boldItalic> <pdfEncoding><![CDATA[Identity-H]]></pdfEncoding> <pdfEmbedded><![CDATA[false]]></pdfEmbedded> </fontFamily> </fontFamilies> The jar file is in the application’s classpath. And here is my java code: String defaultPDFFont = “Arial”; JRProperties.setProperty(“net.sf.jasperreports.awt.ignore.missing.font”, “true”); JRProperties.setProperty(“net.sf.jasperreports.default.font.name”, defaultPDFFont); JasperReport jasperReport … Read more
While not perfect, you could flag the field to stretch with overflow. This would at least give you all the data. In your jrxml file it would be similar to: <textField isStretchWithOverflow=”true” hyperlinkType=”None”> <reportElement style=”Report Sub-Title” x=”0″ y=”84″ width=”802″ height=”20″/> <textElement/> <textFieldExpression class=”java.lang.String”> <![CDATA[“For the period …]]> </textFieldExpression> </textField> I’m afraid I don’t know of … Read more
With JasperReports When using JasperReports, simply add this parameter to JasperReports exporter: exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.PDF_JAVASCRIPT, “this.print();”); This basically instructs Adobe Acrobat to execute the script this.print() when opening the PDF. See also page 79-80 of Adobe Acrobat Scripting Guide. Below is an extract of relevance: Printing PDF Documents It is possible to use Acrobat JavaScript to specify … Read more
For showing html code in report we can use htmlcomponent developed by Jaspersoft (as I understnd after looking at source code the author is Narcis Marcu). This component has a lot of limitations and cannot assist you in every case for any html page of any complexity. Anyway, the below is explains how to use … Read more
You can define grouping in JasperReports. JasperReports calculates the total for you, there is comfortable way to add groups and totals. Here an overview what you need to do in iReport. To add the group modify your query to order by pledgeType – JasperReports requires the data sorted according to your grouping. right click on … Read more
