I'm new at JasperReports.
I want to get italic text when some variable will be set at '3'.
Here's my code:
<textElement>
<font size="9" pdfFontName="Helvetica" pdfEncoding="Cp1250" isPdfEmbedded="true"
isItalic=<![CDATA[$F{variable}==3 ? "true" : "false"]]> />
</textElement>
What am I doing wrong?
I tried also make conditional style but wherever I put i recive error.
You cannot use set value of the property isItalic (and many others) with help of expressions.
In your case you should use the conditional style.
The sample:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport ..>
<style name="customStyle">
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[$F{variable} == 3]]></conditionExpression>
<style isItalic="true"/>
</conditionalStyle>
</style>
...

<band height="20" splitType="Stretch">
<textField>
<reportElement style="customStyle" mode="Opaque" x="100" y="0" width="100" height="20"/>
<textElement/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{value}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</band>

I would like to know if there's a way to re-use conditional formatting for several textFields each one associated to different parameters.
Right now I´ve manage to do it by writing a custom style for each one, but it´s a nightmare to mantain.
Here´s what I´ve got:
<style name="style_door" mode="Transparent" forecolor="#000000">
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[$P{door}.equals("REPLACE")]]></conditionExpression>
<style mode="Transparent" forecolor="#CC0000"/>
</conditionalStyle>
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[$P{door}.equals("REPAIR")]]></conditionExpression>
<style mode="Transparent" forecolor="#FF9900"/>
</conditionalStyle>
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[$P{door}.equals("OK")]]></conditionExpression>
<style mode="Transparent" forecolor="#009900"/>
</conditionalStyle>
</style>
<style name="style_window" mode="Transparent" forecolor="#000000">
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[$P{window}.equals("REPLACE")]]></conditionExpression>
<style mode="Transparent" forecolor="#CC0000"/>
</conditionalStyle>
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[$P{window}.equals("REPAIR")]]></conditionExpression>
<style mode="Transparent" forecolor="#FF9900"/>
</conditionalStyle>
<conditionalStyle>
<conditionExpression><![CDATA[$P{window}.equals("OK")]]></conditionExpression>
<style mode="Transparent" forecolor="#009900"/>
</conditionalStyle>
</style>
<textField>
<reportElement style="style_door" x="112" y="26" width="53" height="13" uuid="07eacbda-9ed8-418e-9f97-937bb44ca976"/>
<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle">
<font size="7"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$P{door}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<textField>
<reportElement style="style_window" x="112" y="26" width="53" height="13" uuid="07eacbda-9ed8-418e-9f97-937bb44ca976"/>
<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle">
<font size="7"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$P{window}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
Notice that the 2 styles are the same, it just change the condition, because it should match a different parameter. And then I apply the style to each textField.
Is there a way I can write a single style and the condition be matched with the value of the element associated to? Or could I pass the element's value as an argument to the style and be used in the condition?
Thank you!
Here is a answer to a similar question from a while back.
I've done some testing and contradictory to the answer linked above I managed to do it without a additional class. All other statements, especially regarding evaluation time and style.evaluation.time still apply. Please read the explanations linked in the answer above.

There is a list and I use this mechanism to pass it to my jasper report:
JRBeanCollectionDataSource jrBeanCollectionDataSource = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(list);
The Object of that list is as follows:
public class Test{
private int id;
//other properties + getters & setter
}
Now Assume I have 10 elements within my list (id= 1 to 10) and I want to separate them in one table using an empty row, meaning 5 rows top, one empty row, 5 rows down.
How to do that ?
The subreport element can helps with solving this problem - we can show or hide subreport based on condition using printWhenExpression.
In your case we need to show subreport with one empty line.
Example
The subreport for showing empty line is very simple. It does not need datasource for showing data - we can put staticText right at Title band. We don't need also margins.
The jrxml will be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<staticText>
<reportElement style="bordered" x="0" y="0" width="572" height="30"/>
</staticText>
</band>
</title>
</jasperReport>
I used simple csv datasource for example - file films.csv contains data for report:
id,name,year,rating
1,The Shawshank Redemption,1994,9.3
2,The Godfather,1972,9.2
3,The Dark Knight,2008,9.0
4,The Godfather: Part II,1974,9.0
5,The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,2003,8.9
6,Pulp Fiction,1994,8.9
7,Schindler's List,1993,8.9
8,"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly",1966,8.9
9,12 Angry Men,1957,8.9
10,Avengers: Endgame,2019,8.8
The main (master) report is using CSV File Data Adapter for building report.

I used <printWhenExpression><![CDATA[$F{id} == 5]]></printWhenExpression> for hiding subreport with empty line, it means that empty line will show only of row with id == 5. You can use any expression you want.
The output at JSS will be:
Alternative solutions
You can insert element during building collection before passing this collection at JRBeanCollectionDataSource.
You can implement custom DataSource based on JRBeanCollectionDataSource with some logic.
In a Jasper report I have 4 Frames (below image) which have some properties set as shown in the same image.
Now, the idea is that given certain parameters showBlue and showRed the frames BLUE and RED respectively are shown or hidden and the subsequent frame "floats" after the previous one (taking in consideration the following order: BLUE <- RED <- GREEN) while BLACK should stay in the same place.
The two left frames (RED and GREEN) were floating up perfectly before the BLACK one was set in place. After that when I set the parameters showBlue and showRed to false (hide BLUE and RED frames) this is the result:

And I have set up a Java Project with Swagger in case you want to run it with maven.
Q: How can I make frames RED and GREEN to properly "float-up" after its previous frame while frame BLACK stays in the same place?
Yes the green will not float up since the black box is placed immediately above it
From JRElement API
Float - The element floats in its parent section if it is pushed downward by other elements found above it. It tries to conserve the distance between it and the neighboring elements placed immediately above it
Solution
The solutions obviously is to not have any element immediately above it and one way to achieve this is to use another frame or a subreport. If you need elements to float up also under this design you probably will need a subreport but I will show the parent frame solution, because it is the easiest way to solve your direct problem.
Example using a parent frame

Output
Additional design notes
As you can see in output there is a 4px height difference between the green and black box, this is due to the empty space you have between the frames. If you need pixel perfect reports you need to have zero space between the components that you are removing/floating.
Maybe you can try using multiple Detail bands for your report. Thus you can use the property printWhenExpresion on each band, instead of in each frame.
Here you can find your jrxml code modified with an example.
I am trying to create a jasper report (pdf format) that displays list of calls handled. The report is getting created but the heading are not being shown. I have tried to make changes in style but nothing seems to work for this case.
I am using the following libs for this
- jasper-compiler-jdt-5.5.15.jar
- jasperreports-6.2.0.jar

This is my jrxml file.
It is displaying all the data correctly except the column headers. I cannot understand what the problem is. Also I am getting the following warning
WARN [net.sf.jasperreports.engine.export.PdfGlyphRenderer] -------- Unpatched iText found, cannot use glyph rendering
Screenshot of generated pdf (some details have been scratched off)
Any help will be highly appreciated.
I am not using iReport tool. Currently the use of the same is restricted to our group. Please suggest a solution other than this.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks to all who helped.
The problem was not related to itext and was related to element styling.
The updated code is as follows.

What i did is that I simply added a element, with no text content to be used as column header banner and added the header text on top of it by specifying the position.
I am not sure of the logic behind this. As for the warning, the Unpatched iText found, cannot use glyph rendering still persits. I am not sure of how to resolve that, but the above cited helped me resolve the initial problem. I hope this would help if anyone come across a similar issue.
Once again thanks to all those who helped and as suggested in above comments I will try to do the same with updated libraries and will definitely edit my post with updated results if it help solve the issue.
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:
