I'm new with Jasper Reports, and I'm creating a Java program that will export reports to a .pdf
file.
This report has multiple subreports and was created in JasperSoft studio.
This is one of the subreport-parts in the main report:
<subreport>
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="18" y="1" width="522" height="65" uuid="f3063ed3-775f-47df-8306-a939aecc9d89"/>
<connectionExpression><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_CONNECTION}]]></connectionExpression>
<subreportExpression><![CDATA["ClaimHistory.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>
</subreport>
This is another subreport:
<subreport>
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="18" y="2" width="522" height="65" uuid="a70d75e0-b9d0-4f52-bb84-090993c2e90b"/>
<connectionExpression><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_CONNECTION}]]></connectionExpression>
<subreportExpression><![CDATA["ClaimDetail.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>
</subreport>
Each subreport uses JRBeanCollectionDataSource(list)
to get its data and below is the Java code doing all the work:
String jasperFile = "E:/jasper/jasperFile.jrxml";
FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(jasperFile);
JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(inputStream);
List<JasperPrint> jasperPrintList = new ArrayList<JasperPrint>();
JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, params, new JREmptyDataSource());
jasperPrintList.add(print);
JRPdfExporter exporter = new JRPdfExporter();
exporter.setExporterInput(SimpleExporterInput.getInstance(jasperPrintList)); //Set as export input my list with JasperPrint s
exporter.setExporterOutput(new SimpleOutputStreamExporterOutput("E:/output.pdf")); //or any other out streaam
exporter.exportReport();
My current skills don't allow me to properly inject any data into the subreports using JRBeanCollectionDataSource(...)
.
How can I achieve injecting data into the subreports?
firstly defined the sub report's data sources are as fields in the main report (main.jrxml)
<field name="claimHistoryDataSource" class="java.util.ArrayList">
<fieldDescription><![CDATA[claimHistoryList}]]></fieldDescription>
</field>
<field name="claimDetailDataSource" class="java.util.ArrayList">
<fieldDescription><![CDATA[claimDetailList}]]></fieldDescription>
</field>
claimHistoryList
and claimDetailList
are ArrayLists defined in the java class which used as a data source of the main report.
then pass it to the sub report with a dataSourceExpression
<subreport>
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="18" y="1" width="522" height="65" uuid="f3063ed3-775f-47df-8306-a939aecc9d89"/>
<dataSourceExpression><![CDATA[new net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanCollectionDataSource($F{claimHistoryDataSource})]]></dataSourceExpression>
<subreportExpression><![CDATA["ClaimHistory.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>
</subreport>
<subreport>
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="18" y="1" width="522" height="65" uuid="f3063ed3-775f-47df-8306-a939aecc9d89"/>
<dataSourceExpression><![CDATA[new net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanCollectionDataSource($F{claimDetailDataSource})]]></dataSourceExpression>
<subreportExpression><![CDATA["ClaimDetail.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>
</subreport>
