Unable to add extra content into exported word doument from jasper report - jasper-reports

I am using TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio-6.2.0.final for generating report . I am able to generate report in word (.docx).
I added some sample text. In export word sample text shown inside a frame. But when I am trying to update or add any extra text into that report in word, its hiding inside the frame. When I expand that frame, then it showing.
How I can generate report in word without any frame like normal word? So that I can add any text, so it will show normally.
Below I added jrxml code.
<queryString>
<![CDATA[SELECT 1 FROM DUal]]>
</queryString>
<field name="1" class="java.math.BigDecimal"/>
<detail>
<band height="20" splitType="Stretch">
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement x="0" y="1" width="510" height="19" uuid="68ec5b9f-416e-45d6-b2aa-4d1f31a08250">
<property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.x" value="pixel"/>
<property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.y" value="pixel"/>
</reportElement>
<textElement>
<font fontName="Arial" size="11"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["This is the sample text for testing.To test in word"]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</band>
</detail>
Update:
Is any one having any update on this?

Currently there is no possibility to generate paragraph-oriented docx content. The built-in .docx exporter is a grid-layout exporter, so it will generate a table-based document. This is why enclosing frames/table cells are present in the document. Even if you'd use a single huge textfield for your entire document, a table with a single cell will be generated as docx output.
The only way to get the desired behavior is to implement and use a custom paragraph-oriented docx exporter, based on existing JasperReports APIs.
I hope this helps.

Jasper export .docx as grid/table. In your exported document use Layout -> View Gridlines to show those tables. You can edit them manually if it's a single report what you need. Else, check Aspose library or try to implement manually a custom exporter.
If your only problem is that fields doesn't expand when you write, just add this code to your report properties:
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.docx.flexible.row.height" value="true"/>

Jasper Reports subreport text alignment is wrong only when in main report

When I preview my jasper subreport, text is aligned to the right (what I want).
But when it is used in the main report, text is aligned to the left
On both reports, per element styling is used, set in Jasper Studio.
The jrxml per element looks like...
<textElement textAlignment="Right" markup="html">
<paragraph leftIndent="2"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{col_1_initials}]]> </textFieldExpression>
The element including the subreport looks like
<band height="161" splitType="Stretch">
<property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.height" value="pixel"/>
<subreport isUsingCache="false" runToBottom="false">
<reportElement x="-20" y="0" width="595" height="161" uuid="4e6fb330-c43f-4d47-b7aa-6884dad63d14"/>
<dataSourceExpression><![CDATA[((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JsonDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}).subDataSource("weekPairs")]]></dataSourceExpression>
<subreportExpression><![CDATA["weeksubreport.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>
</subreport>
</band>
I'm not using report Style Templates because for a reason I can't diagnose, Jaspersoft Studio crashes instantly trying to assign a style template.
What about the main report ovverides the subreport text-aligment and what would I have to change in the source to fix this?
EDIT
In the report designer->properties of a jrxml file there is a checkbox for "Derive Attributes". I've tried that both on and off, but nothing changed.

Show and hide elements for different exporters [duplicate]

I have a JasperReports jrxml file which has a hyperlink inside a textField element.
I do not want to show this hyperlink in anything other than the HTML view because the link does not work in excel, PDF, word, etc. and does not make sense to show.
I have read the faq with the properties but it just confused me because it does not talk about hiding a textField at all, just "bands" for headers and footers.
Here is the text field I want to hide when not HTML:
<textField hyperlinkType="ReportExecution">
<reportElement style="Report_Param_Value_Link" mode="Opaque" x="400" y="0" width="161" height="20"/>
<textElement/>
<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[Boolean.TRUE.equals($P{LAST_WEEK}) ? "View WTD" : "View last week"]]></textFieldExpression>
<hyperlinkParameter name="noMenu">
<hyperlinkParameterExpression><![CDATA["true"]]></hyperlinkParameterExpression>
</hyperlinkParameter>
<hyperlinkParameter name="reportUnit">
<hyperlinkParameterExpression><![CDATA["repo:/Reports/Operations/Business_Support/Subreports/Business_Support_Performance_Dashboard"]]></hyperlinkParameterExpression>
</hyperlinkParameter>
<hyperlinkParameter name="LAST_WEEK">
<hyperlinkParameterExpression><![CDATA[Boolean.valueOf(!Boolean.TRUE.equals($P{LAST_WEEK})).toString()]]></hyperlinkParameterExpression>
</hyperlinkParameter>
</textField>
Use an Element Key Filter.
The quote from JR Ultimate Guide:
This built-in filter implementations excludes from export elements that match a given element key.
Element keys are set at report design time and are propagated into generated reports.
Each element in a filled report has the same key as the element from the report template that generated it.
To trigger an element key filter, the report designer needs to define one or more report properties that start with <exporter_property_prefix>.exclude.key. Each such property matches a single element key which is to be excluded by the filter. The element key is given by the property value, or if no value is set for the property, by the property suffix.
The following example shows how to specify element keys which are to be excluded from specific export outputs:
<jasperReport ...>
<!-- exclude elements with keys Image1 and Text4 from HTML export-->
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.html.exclude.key.Image1"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.html.exclude.key.Text4"/>
<!-- exclude elements with keys Image5 from PDF export -->
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.exclude.key.the.image" value=”Image5”/>
...
</jasperReport>
In your case you should add key for text field with hyperlink (for example, textFieldWithHL) and then add one property for each format (pdf, docx, xls, csv, xml, txt, odt) you want to exclude from printing this hyperlink:
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.exclude.key.textFieldWithHL"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.docx.exclude.key.textFieldWithHL"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.exclude.key.textFieldWithHL"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.csv.exclude.key.textFieldWithHL"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xml.exclude.key.textFieldWithHL"/>
The expressions from your post:
net.sf.jasperreports.export.{format}.exclude.origin.{suffix}.{arbitrary_name}
net.sf.jasperreports.export.{format}.exclude.origin.keep.first.{suffix}.{arbitrary_name}
allow to exclude the whole bands (also group bands). This filters work with JROrigin objects.
For example, consider a report with a logo that must be included as SVG for PDF output or PNG for HTML output. The JRXML file contains:
<image scaleImage="RetainShape" onErrorType="Blank">
<reportElement key="IMAGE_LOGO_PNG" x="1" y="0" width="100" height="60" uuid="a896cade-f6fc-4d8f-b762-29b950309257"/>
<imageExpression><![CDATA[Transcoder.asPNG($V{V_LOGO_FILE} + ".svg")]]></imageExpression>
</image>
<image scaleImage="RetainShape" onErrorType="Blank">
<reportElement key="IMAGE_LOGO_SVG" x="1" y="0" width="100" height="60" uuid="a896cade-f6fc-4d8f-b762-29b950309257"/>
<imageExpression><![CDATA[Transcoder.asSVG($V{V_LOGO_FILE} + ".svg")]]></imageExpression>
</image>
To exclude the SVG from HTML and the PNG from PDF, add the following properties immediately after the <jasperReport...> root element in the JRXML file:
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.html.exclude.key.IMAGE_LOGO_SVG"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.exclude.key.IMAGE_LOGO_PNG"/>
Looking at your source, it may be possible to create an ExporterFilter that suppresses hyperlinks, and then you have to add that filter to the export process for everything except HTML. However, I don't see why you don't want to show the hyperlink in the other formats. For many years PDF, Word, Excel, etc. will all interpret a hyperlink correctly, and in fact respond to a mouse click on the link just like a browser. That's probably why the process is going to be painful: you are reversing what for most people is expected behavior.

How to hide column in excel report generated by JasperReports?

I want to hide some columns in the excel report for my future reference.
Please suggest me any idea to hide the column.
Alex K's comment is correct. Here's how to apply it:
Open the Source page for the report to view the XML.
Find the field to hide in Excel.
Add the property to the reportElement as follows:
<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="100" height="15">
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.cell.hidden" value="true"/>
</reportElement>
The reportElement attribute values will differ in the report you create.

jasper report custom properties are not accessible in customexporter

I am writing my own custom xml exporter for jasper reports. I would like to define some properties in my .jrxml file, which i would like to access them later in my custom xml exporter.
I have added two custom properties(last two). I can see the other two properties in my custom xml exporter but not my custom properties. Is there anything i am missing?
<detail>
<band height="13">
<textField isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement key="auctionCode" x="256" y="0" width="48" height="13" uuid="03408ccf-c8ba-4e4f-8da6-694f02b70e4b">
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.csv.column.name" value="ShipCountry"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.csv.repeat.value" value="true"/>
<property name="com.xxxx.cdt.export.xml.test.value" value="abcdefghij"/>
<property name="com.xxxx.cdt.xml.test1.value1" value="ijklmnopqr"/>
You'll need to set a global property to instruct JR to transfer your properties from the JRXML to the generated report.
Include something like the following in your jasperreports.properties:
net.sf.jasperreports.print.transfer.xxxx=com.xxxx.cdt

jasper decimal separator being ignored

In a jasper report I use a JSON datasource.
This datasource contains numbers (e.g. 159.994).
There is a field of class java.lang.double (let's call it "doubleField") and a text field with this field and a pattern ("#,##0.00 ¤ (brutto)").
The pattern works fine (german currency format) but if I print out just the value of the doubleField the expected output would be "195,99" or "159.994".
But in fact it is "159.994,00" or "159994.0".
There was a solution changing the language of the report from "groovy" to "JavaScript" but this won't help and is also not applicable.
There is a "quick&dirty" solution (without being quick) to just take the JSON value as a String and then cast it to a double in the text field. This works fine but it's dirty and not really quick.
Any ideas?
I have a Jasper report definition. I'm just including a few things from that report definition that I think might be relevant to your problem.
First, I have several field definitions. Here are two of them:
<field name="FundFixedBeginningBalance" class="java.lang.Double">
<fieldDescription>
<![CDATA[FundFixedBeginningBalance/FundFixedBeginningBalanceValue]]>
</fieldDescription>
</field>
<field name="FundNonFixedBeginningBalance" class="java.lang.Double">
<fieldDescription>
<![CDATA[FundNonFixedBeginningBalance/FundNonFixedBeginningBalanceValue]]>
</fieldDescription>
</field>
Note how both are defined with class="java.lang.Double". I'm using XPath expressions because my data is in XML, but that is not fundamentally different from JSON. Later, in the report layout section I have:
<textField pattern="#,##0.00 ;(#,##0.00)" isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="368" y="52" width="100" height="14" uuid="deac984d-39b8-49f4-b4d2-28e66681c098">
<property name="local_mesure_unitx" value="pixel"/>
<property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.x" value="px"/>
</reportElement>
<textElement textAlignment="Right"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{FundFixedBeginningBalance} + $F{FundNonFixedBeginningBalance}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
Notice there is no casting within the textFieldExpression element; just substituting both fields in with $F and adding them together (and this prints correctly). Are you doing something different?
