Merging the cells which have same data - jasper-reports

Question

I have a report which has the columns Type,S.No,Date.Here the Type column will have the same value for all rows.So i just want to merge all the cells of Type column.I have referred the below link
Group several same value field into a single cell
and tried with their suggestion.But if i do like that i am getting like in below image.
Edit:
Below is the code i am using in my jrxml for merging the cells which have same data.
<field name="type" class="java.lang.String"/>
<group name="type">
<groupExpression><![CDATA[$F{type}]]></groupExpression>
</group>
In detail band i tried by creating the fake statictext behind the type textfield like below.
<staticText>
<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="121" height="20"/>
<box>
<leftPen lineWidth="0.25"/>
<rightPen lineWidth="0.25"/>
</box>
<textElement/>
<text><![CDATA[]]></text>
</staticText>
<textField>
<reportElement isPrintRepeatedValues="false" x="0" y="0" width="121" height="20"/>
<box>
<topPen lineWidth="0.0"/>
<leftPen lineWidth="0.25"/>
<bottomPen lineWidth="0.0"/>
<rightPen lineWidth="0.25"/>
</box>
<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{type}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
But no use.
Tried by using printWhenExpression in type textfield like below.
<textField>
<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="121" height="20">
<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[$V{type_COUNT} == 1]]></printWhenExpression>
</reportElement>
<box>
<topPen lineWidth="0.0"/>
<leftPen lineWidth="0.25"/>
<bottomPen lineWidth="0.0"/>
<rightPen lineWidth="0.25"/>
</box>
<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{type}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
But no use.
If i add the bottom border for static text then the image looks like below.
Thank You.
