Dependency error in jasper-reports from itext

by

A much simpler solution may be to upgrade to a newer version of jasperreports. Version 6.1.0 has this dependency on iText: <dependency> <groupId>com.lowagie</groupId> <artifactId>itext</artifactId> <version>2.1.7.js2</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> No more “floating” dependency on iText, and it’s a version that’s custom made for jasperreports! See http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports/6.1.0 for the complete pom.xml.

How do I change the locale that JasperReports uses?

by

The locale is set during execution, not in the JRXML. Using Java, set the REPORT_LOCALE parameter for the report’s parameter map.

How to pass main report data source to subreport (JasperReports)?

by

You can pass datasource via the built-in REPORT_DATA_SOURCE parameter. The example: <subreport> <reportElement x=”261″ y=”25″ width=”200″ height=”100″/> <dataSourceExpression><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}]]></dataSourceExpression> <subreportExpression><![CDATA[$P{SUBREPORT_DIR} + “subreport.jasper”]]></subreportExpression> </subreport> You can create new instance of datasource based on variable, parameter or field. The sample: <variable name=”HeadingsCollection” class=”java.util.Collection” calculation=”System”> <initialValueExpression><![CDATA[new java.util.ArrayList()]]></initialValueExpression> </variable> … <subreport> <reportElement x=”0″ y=”0″ width=”515″ height=”20″/> <subreportParameter name=”ReportTitle”> <subreportParameterExpression><![CDATA[$P{ReportTitle}]]></subreportParameterExpression> </subreportParameter> … Read more

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.
