I'm developing a Jasper report that has to be exported as a PDF from my web app.
The jasperreport.version is 5.5.1 and the web app is running on a Tomcat6 instance.
I've defined the following elements in my .jrxml:
<rectangle>
<reportElement positionType="Float" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" mode="Transparent" x="415" y="21" width="140" height="28" uuid="52ceec4a-26bb-4efa-a4d2-af32c107d1d3"/>
<graphicElement>
<pen lineWidth="0.5"/>
</graphicElement>
</rectangle>
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">
<reportElement style="label" positionType="Float" x="415" y="20" width="140" height="14" uuid="f1394c5b-4921-4ccd-84ed-b1d3e44dc499"/>
<textElement markup="none">
<font size="9" isBold="true" isItalic="false"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$R{nivel.gestao}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">
<reportElement style="campo" positionType="Float" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" x="415" y="34" width="140" height="15" uuid="3e1d2402-8b21-4f8e-9ee8-d57f1a870077"/>
<box bottomPadding="2"/>
<textElement verticalAlignment="Middle" markup="none">
<font size="9" isBold="false"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$P{nivelGestao}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
The problem is that Jasper renders the text with line breaks depending on which font family I use.
Using Helvetica:
Using Courier (the font I need):
How can I use the Courier font family and avoid the unintended line breaks?
Text with Courier font is wider. I suppose if you write some long text with Helvetica you see same stuff. Check out padding and margins.
And remove <box bottomPadding="2"/>.

I use Jasper Reports to generate RTF file.
In RTF each textField is represented as separate box:
I tried to use one frame for textFields:
<frame>
<reportElement positionType="Float" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" x="220" y="45" width="406" height="75"/>
<textField>
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="0" y="0" width="406" height="60"/>
<textElement>
<font fontName="Arial" size="8"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["Address:"]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<textField hyperlinkType="Reference" hyperlinkTarget="Blank">
<reportElement x="0" y="57" width="200" height="15" key="textWithStyle" style="LinkField"/>
<textElement>
<font fontName="Arial" size="8" isUnderline="true"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["here"]]></textFieldExpression>
<hyperlinkReferenceExpression><![CDATA["http:adress"]]></hyperlinkReferenceExpression>
</textField>
</frame>
But textFields also in the different boxes.
Is it possible to combine several textFields into one box like the following?
I know that I can add each text to one textField, but sometimes I need two separate textFields that I can manage inside one box.
I have the following problem with JasperReports , I receive the content correctly , however when the content is null i am interesting to not showing nothing.
Could anyone help to me?
<textField>
<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="100" height="20"/>
<box leftPadding="10"/>
<textElement/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{nombre}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
Set "blank when null" checkbox at property of field
After that definition text filed in jrxml like this:
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true">
....
<textElement textAlignment="Left" verticalAlignment="Middle">
<font fontName="DejaVu Sans" size="12"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{leftColumn}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
Requirement:
If firstName and lastName is non empty. Show this at x=125, y=3 coordinates.
And show address down to it at x="125" y="26" coordinate. This is working fine.
Problem: If firstName/lastName are empty, Then we need to move the address element up and show it at x=125, y=3 coordinate itself.
This is where I am stuck. Please help me.
Please refer my jrxml file below:
<frame>
<reportElement key="frame-462" positionType="Float" mode="Transparent" x="0" y="50" width="390" height="70"/>
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true" evaluationTime="Now">
<reportElement key="textField-844" positionType="Float" mode="Transparent" x="125" y="3" width="264" height="23"
isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true">
<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[(!$F{firstName}.isEmpty() && !$F{lastName}.isEmpty())]]></printWhenExpression>
</reportElement>
<textElement markup="styled">
<font fontName="Verdana" size="12"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression>
<![CDATA[$F{firstName} + "<style pdfFontName='Helvetica-Oblique' size='11'>" + $F{lastName} + "</style>"]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true" evaluationTime="Now">
<reportElement key="textField-843" mode="Transparent" positionType="Float" x="125" y="26" width="264"
height="42" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true" isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true"/>
<textElement markup="html">
<font fontName="Verdana" size="12"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{address}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<staticText>
<reportElement key="staticText-1249" positionType="Float" x="2" y="2" width="108" height="21"
isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"/>
<textElement textAlignment="Left">
<font fontName="Verdana" size="12" isBold="false" pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold"/>
</textElement>
<text><![CDATA[ Address:]]></text>
</staticText>
</frame>
You have already set the isRemoveLineWhenBlank attribute, which will remove the empty space left by the textField. However, JasperReports cannot collapse vertical space unless that space is completely clear. If there is another element occupying the same line (in your case the staticText element), the empty space will be preserved. This is a bit like playing Tetris in reverse; You have to get rid of all of the blocks before the line will disappear.
Putting report elements into frames modifies this behaviour slightly. It is only the width of the parent frame that needs to be clear, instead of the width of the whole report. Therefore, by putting your name and address fields into a separate frame, the space occupied by the name field can collapse despite being aligned horizontally with the static text. I have modified your code snippet to demonstrate this:
<frame>
<reportElement key="frame-462" positionType="Float" mode="Transparent" x="0" y="50" width="390" height="70"/>
<frame>
<reportElement x="126" y="0" width="264" height="70"/>
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true" evaluationTime="Now">
<reportElement key="textField-844" positionType="Float" mode="Transparent" x="0" y="3" width="264" height="23" isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true">
<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[(!$F{firstName}.isEmpty() && !$F{lastName}.isEmpty())]]></printWhenExpression>
</reportElement>
<textElement markup="styled">
<font fontName="Verdana" size="12"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{firstName} + "<style pdfFontName='Helvetica-Oblique' size='11'>" + $F{lastName} + "</style>"]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true" evaluationTime="Now">
<reportElement key="textField-843" mode="Transparent" positionType="Float" x="0" y="26" width="264" height="42" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true" isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true"/>
<textElement markup="html">
<font fontName="Verdana" size="12"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{address}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</frame>
<staticText>
<reportElement key="staticText-1249" positionType="Float" x="2" y="2" width="108" height="21" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"/>
<textElement textAlignment="Left">
<font fontName="Verdana" size="12" isBold="false" pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold"/>
</textElement>
<text><![CDATA[ Address:]]></text>
</staticText>
</frame>
Working in JasperReports:
<style pdfFontName="Helvetica-BoldOblique" isBold="true" isItalic="true"
forecolor="red">Instruction and instruction</style>
Not Working in JasperReports:
<style pdfFontName="Helvetica-BoldOblique" isBold="true" isItalic="true"
forecolor="red">Instruction & instruction</style>
Why this is happening?
I have used
&
instead of "&" and it is working in jasper report.
<style pdfFontName="Helvetica-BoldOblique" isBold="true" isItalic="true"
forecolor="red">Instruction & instruction</style>
//In text filed i have used style tag.
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="false" evaluationTime="Now" hyperlinkType="None" hyperlinkTarget="Self" >
<reportElement
x="0"
y="0"
width="290"
height="15"
key="textField"
isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"/>
<box topBorder="None" topBorderColor="#000000" leftBorder="None" leftBorderColor="#000000" rightBorder="None" rightBorderColor="#000000" rightPadding="5" bottomBorder="None" bottomBorderColor="#000000"/>
<textElement textAlignment="Center" isStyledText="true">
<font size="9"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[<style pdfFontName="Helvetica-BoldOblique" isBold="true" isItalic="true"
forecolor="red">Instruction & instruction</style>]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
Try to use & instead of using & symbol.
The working sample:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport ... whenNoDataType="AllSectionsNoDetail">
<style name="style1" forecolor="#FF0000" fontName="Serif" isBold="true" isItalic="true"/>
<title>
<band height="182" splitType="Stretch">
<staticText>
<reportElement style="style1" x="27" y="15" width="515" height="20"/>
<textElement/>
<text><![CDATA[Instruction and instruction]]></text>
</staticText>
<staticText>
<reportElement style="style1" x="27" y="46" width="515" height="20"/>
<textElement/>
<text><![CDATA[Instruction & instruction]]></text>
</staticText>
<staticText>
<reportElement x="27" y="78" width="515" height="20"/>
<textElement markup="styled"/>
<text><![CDATA[<style isBold='true'>Instruction and instruction</style>]]></text>
</staticText>
<staticText>
<reportElement x="27" y="108" width="515" height="20"/>
<textElement markup="styled"/>
<text><![CDATA[<style isBold='true'>Instruction & instruction</style>]]></text>
</staticText>
</band>
</title>
</jasperReport>
Note: The styled markup is using in this sample.
The result will be:

How do i stretch a text field to fit the data, If data exceeds the band height the text field doesn't stretch. I have added the text field tag in my jrxml...
The example:
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" pattern="" isBlankWhenNull="true" evaluationTime="Now" hyperlinkType="None" hyperlinkTarget="Self" >
<reportElement
style="dNew"
mode="Opaque"
x="200"
y="0"
width="200"
height="19"
key="value-2"
stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject"
positionType="Float"
isPrintInFirstWholeBand="true"
isPrintWhenDetailOverflows="true"/>
<box></box>
<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Top">
<font fontName="Arial" pdfFontName="Helvetica"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$F{DATA2}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
Some bands do not stretch, but if you are talking about the detail band you can do something like this:
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement style="base" positionType="Float"
isPrintRepeatedValues="false" x="0" y="3"
width="380" height="26" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"/>
<textElement/>
<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String">
<![CDATA[$P{information}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
That is pasted from auto generated XML so there is a lot of extra stuff, but the isStretchWithOverflow="true" should work for you. This will make the field stretch down as the text fills it up.
I ususally use iReport to build my reports and it works quiet nicely. You can switch to an XML view in there too.
