Detail band with borders in iReport

ireportjasper-reports

I have to encapsulate header column, detail and page footer bands (column footer is set to 0 height) with borders. Is there an easy way to do it?

I've read this StackOverflow question and I try to use a frame in the background band, but how can I know the exact height of the detail band?

UPDATE: I found myself a solution. The solution is to "trial and error", setting random frame height until I get the exact height.

In the report inspector on the left click on "Detail 1" and then on the right in properties it'll tell you the 'Band Height'...You can change it from there.

Border in Detail band

The option given by Dave is right.

If you care about the space still being used, then set the band and textfield heights to zero.

In my case using Dave's option worked (and I needed no extra space to be used).

I put this as PrintWhenExpression in the fields I just wanted to show in the last page:

$P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}.get("lastPage")!=null

And this as PrintWhenExpression in a 0-height textfield in the 0-heigth summary band:

$P{REPORT_PARAMETERS_MAP}.put("lastPage",":)")

Java – Detail band of subreport not showing

I had the same problem for more than 1 day. In the application I am developing on there are multiple JasperReports which work. I encountered this problem when adding a new one. No matter what I tried, nothing displayed in the Detail band. I tried everything from triple-checking the Controller that populates the report, to upgrading to the latest jasperreports jar and latest iReports version. Nothing seemed to work.

The problem is that the report is set by default to: When No Data: All Sections, No Detail, which basically means that if no data is sent to the report, it will display all sections, except for the Detail one.

Although besides static text which I was using to test the report I was passing parameters directly from the Java Controller, it did not work until I added an EXEC [myFunction] $P{parameterId} to the Query Text property of the report. The function is a simple straightforward one, which takes a parameterId passed from Java as a parameter and returns something. (also, make sure you set the The language for the dataset query sql property to SQL).

To sum up, for some reason the report doesn't seem to take the Java parameters as data (so it displays all the sections, except for Detail), so when I explicitly call a SQL function which returns some parameters and put them into my detail page, it works.

I hope this helps you, I busted my head for 10 hours to figure this out.
