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?

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.
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"/>
I am using JasperSoft Studio in Eclipse to generate a signup sheet for a church. The page header has the label of what last names will be on the page. So page 1 will have A-D, if the page starts with an A, and ends with a D.
This is turning out to be very complicated for such an easy task. I just want to read what the last_name field is in the first and last row of every page, take the first letter of it, and then stick it in the header.
Any ideas are welcome, I am stumped.
To get the first and last value of a field in a page you use variables with resetType and set the correct evalutationTime on the textField (You will need to use 2 textField aligning them correctly one next to the other)
This example will show how to get the first and last value of the field $F{Last_Name} on every page
First value of a field in the page
The resetType on your variable will be resetType="None"
<variable name="firstValueOnPage" class="java.lang.String" resetType="None">
<variableExpression><![CDATA[$F{Last_Name}]]></variableExpression>
</variable>
and in the textField, use the variable with evalution="Now" (that is default so no tag needed)
<textField>
<reportElement x="30" y="19" width="100" height="20" uuid="e6421031-6db7-4fd9-995f-94cef2eb3621"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{firstValueOnPage}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
Last value of a field in the page
The resetType of your variable is resetType="Page"
<variable name="lastValueOnPage" class="java.lang.String" resetType="Page">
<variableExpression><![CDATA[$F{Last_Name}]]></variableExpression>
</variable>
and in the textField use the variable evaluationTime="Page"
<textField evaluationTime="Page">
<reportElement x="170" y="19" width="100" height="20" uuid="9100baa5-0095-4dc3-ac79-2cd87562a92d"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{lastValueOnPage}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
To get only the first char of first and last value I see that you have already figured it out, but to complete the answer the textFieldExpression would be
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[($V{firstValueOnPage}!=null&&$V{firstValueOnPage}.length()>0)?String.valueOf($V{firstValueOnPage}.charAt(0)).toUpperCase():""]]></textFieldExpression>
Now just put the two textField's next to each other (align them correctly) and you will have the desired result.
Some additional information to learn more about resetType and evalutationTime (from jasper report api 6.2.0)
resetType
None - The variable is incremented with every record during the iteration through the data source
Report - The variable never gets incremented during the report filling process.
Page - The variable is incremented with each new page.
Column - The variable is incremented with each new column.
Group - The variable is incremented every time the group specified by the incrementGroup attributes breaks
EvalutationTime
Auto Evaluation time indicating that each variable participating in
the expression should be evaluated at a time decided by the engine.
Band The element will be evaluated at band end.
Column A constant specifying that an expression should be evaluated after each column is filled.
Group A constant specifying that an expression should be evaluated after each group break.
Master Used for elements that are evaluated at the moment the master report ends.
Now A constant specifying that an expression should be evaluated at the exact moment in the filling process when it is encountered.
Page A constant specifying that an expression should be evaluated after each page is filled.
Report A constant specifying that an expression should be evaluated at the end of the filling process.
Report is ordered by Last_Name therefore we can use calculation Lowest and Highest
define variables:
<variable name="lowestFirstLetter" class="java.lang.String" resetType="Page" calculation="Lowest">
<variableExpression><![CDATA[$F{Last_Name}.substring(0,1)]]></variableExpression>
</variable>
<variable name="highestFirstLetter" class="java.lang.String" resetType="Page" calculation="Highest">
<variableExpression><![CDATA[$F{Last_Name}.substring(0,1)]]></variableExpression>
</variable>
and put textFields with evaluationTime="Page" into PageHeader band
<pageHeader>
<band height="35" splitType="Stretch">
<textField evaluationTime="Page">
<reportElement x="80" y="15" width="100" height="20" uuid="72af3431-eb3d-4f40-993b-4f0733e779cd"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{lowestFirstLetter}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<textField evaluationTime="Page">
<reportElement x="260" y="15" width="150" height="20" uuid="0452517b-5066-4f8a-af6b-f941f1d3c1cb"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{highestFirstLetter}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</band>
</pageHeader>
Good luck

<!-- 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"/>

Have anyone tried to import user defined classes in jasper report (.jrxml file)?
I want to use some (user defined) Util class inside my jasper report to cook some bean attributes. I am using Javabean datasource
Please let me know if you need further clarification.
syntax to import class is
<import value="java.util.HashMap"/>
I want to use
<import value="mypackage.MyUtil" />
....
....
<field name="myVar" class="java.lang.String">
<fieldDescription><![CDATA[MyUtil.cook(myData)]]>
</fieldDescription>
</field>
The simple definition for MyUtil.java could be
package mypackage;
public class MyUtil
{
public static String cook(String data)
{
return data + "_cooked";
}
}
I think I should have tried sufficiently before asking this.
There is nothing extra needed apart from
There are two sections in jrxml:
1. Defining fields from javabean source
2. Using fields defined in step 1. to populate values in detail band
I was trying to cook the value of javabean members even before they are used to create fields
So, jasper was trying to parse that 'expression' as javabean member.
Following is wrong
<field name="myVar" class="java.lang.String">
<fieldDescription><![CDATA[MyUtil.cook(myData)]]>
</fieldDescription>
</field>
When I used the Util class on field value, it worked.
<textField>
<reportElement x="200" y="0" width="100" height="13"/>
<textElement/>
<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String">
<![CDATA[MyUtil.cook($F{myVar})]]>
</textFieldExpression>
</textField>
Thanks

You have to set the classpath in your iReport. It depends on its version, but is generally under Settings/Classpath
