I would like to know how report read the path of subreport, because I put the main and sub report in the same folder and I put:
<subreportExpression><![CDATA["subReportname.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>
and it doesn't work but when I put the absolute path it works effeciently.

I have my reports stored into a database as the source code. I need to then use this source code in my report as a subreport.
When I give the subreport expression the source code, it thinks it is a path to the file.
Is there a way to do this without needing to store the source code as a .japser file?
According to documentation subreportExpression can return a JasperReport object too.
How can I include a subreport (.jrxml) file which is located on the parent folder of a specified report in that report? Seems I can't use relative path for specifying subreport (It failed to compile when I want to use relative path like ../parent/subreport.jrxml).
I have created a frame and subreport for integration with APEX and refined to the point I am ready to deploy on JasperServer. Somehow the exact syntax is defeating me. I've tried all the variations the following questions would indicate, but nothing seems to work. I'm using Glassfish, btw, but I don't think that is significant. Here are my questions:
When deploying the subreport, do I deploy as a report or as a JRXML file?
Do I need to set up Input Controls for the subreport, as passed by the frame report?
Does it matter where I deploy the subreport (folder structure) so long as I am passing the correct SUBREPORT_DIR parameter to the frame?
On that SUBREPORT_DIR, I've tried a couple different things. First I had the default as an absolute path on my local box, for debugging purposes, and was passing the value I wanted in the URL (i.e. ...&SUBREPORT_DIR=/Subreports/...). I also tried setting the default to the path I wanted. Neither works, but should the former work as well as the latter?
What's the actual syntax for passing SUBREPORT_DIR? I've deployed my frame report as "/reports/frame" and my subreport as "/reports/Subreports/sub", so I was passing "repo:/Subreports/" (without quotes in the URL, with quotes in the default on frame).
My frame and sub work in iReport with the same params I'm passing, but they don't work from the URL at all. I can load up the sub as a report under JasperServer, pass it the params frame passes, and get it to work, but when I try to run the frame, no dice.
Thanks in advance for all the help, and I hope to pay it back once I get this properly configured.
OP's findings.
The subreport needs to be deployed in the repository as a JRXML file. It will say "File" in the appropriate column of the repository view.
You do NOT need to set Input Controls for the subreport. The frame report needs only those Input Controls that it utilizes, not the subreport parameters.
As long as you pass the correct SUBREPORT_DIR, you can put the subreport anywhere you want, but remember that the frame report will reference the sub by exactly the name you specify. One of my two problems (see #1 above for the other) was specifying an extension in the default path. This was correct in iReport, but wrong on the server side.
SUBREPORT_DIR can be passed as a parameter and works as advertised.
The correct path for SUB_REPORT_DIR, which I am using now as a defaulted param, is something like "repo:/reports/Subreports/". The Subreport Expression under detail is therefore: $P{SUBREPORT_DIR} + "five_col_sub". See #3 above.
Not that tricky, really, but also not completely intuitive. My colleague pointed out that "repo: " is short for the JasperServer Repository. Seems obvious now, but I was assuming it meant "reports", necessitating that any report with a subreport and the subreport itself would have to exist under the /reports/ directory, which is not the case.
I want create a complex jrxml file to create PDF.
I want to put another jrxml in my jrxml file.
So.. my question is how to put one jrxml to another jrxml
My jrxml files are: salesreport.jrxml, financialreport.jrxml and report.jrxml
I want to put salesreport.jrxml and financialreport.jrxml to report.jrxml.
Usually you develop reports with iReport.
iReport has facilities for including subreports within reports (by dragging the subreport icon onto the master report page).
Note that JasperReports uses absolute paths for file references. I would recommend you set up parameters to your reports as follows:
$P{ROOT_DIR}
$P{SUBREPORT_DIR}
Give $P{SUBREPORT_DIR} a default value of $P{ROOT_DIR} + "subreports/".
At that point, you can pass the absolute path as $P{ROOT_DIR} into your report and then the subreports will be stored in a subdirectory called subreports, which is located in $P{ROOT_DIR}.
Or use the JasperCompileManager class from within the master jrxml file to dynamically compile it.
<subreportExpression><![CDATA[JasperCompileManager.compileReport($P{SUBREPORT_DIR}+"/myFile.jrxml")]]></subreportExpression>
i'm trying to add subreport to report.
I have setted connection type to "use a connection expression" and the expression is $P{REPORT_CONNECTION}.
My subreport contains a simple query and some static text, when i test it all works good, but when i test mainreport the subreport does not appear.
I have some static text in subreport, this one should be display always, isn't true? But i can't see it...
During compilation i have no errors, and subreport path seems correct becouse a message say "subreport.jrxml already compiled.".
What can i do?
Thanks.
The solution is pass HIBERNATE_SESSION as parameter from master report to subreport.
Please Right clik on sub report and clik on open sub report if your sub report gets open then your reporyt is connect with your sub report. if subreport is not open do the right connection for that.
if your subreport is work for the parameter value with seperatly and displyes the static text and detail band values it is sure that the report will come ffrom main report.
but the report displays only static text and the text is in title or page heder, then you have to go to the report property and set the output when no data then choose diplay all section data from combo. your static text will apper from main report.
When you add a sub-report in your main report, the sub report expression will refer your locally saved sub-report path. Ex: "C:\abc\xyz.jrxml".
Now you can preview your main report containing sub-report in your ireport.
Once you publish the main report in Jasper server, the Sub report gets loaded into jasper repository and its expression becomes "repo:Repositorypath.jrxml".
Once sub-report contained report is published into Jasper repository, its path will always refers to Jasper repository path and because of this reason, you will not be able to Preview the main report in Ireport.
So, execute the report in jasper server directly once you publish the main report instead of previewing or opening the subreport in Ireport.
