JRBeanCollectionDataSource: How to show data from

问题:

My JavaBean contains the java.util.List.

Userinfo {
    private String username;
    private String password;
    List<Address> listAddress;
}

How to show the data of this List in the Detail band?

回答1:

Here is the working sample.

The key points of this sample:

• using of the _THIS expression;
• using List (jr:list) component in Detail band

The snippet of code for generating report:

public static void testBuildPdf() {
    try {
        Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(reportSource);
        JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, params, getDataSource());

        JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, outputFileName);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

private static JRDataSource getDataSource() {
    Collection<BeanWithList> coll = new ArrayList<BeanWithList>();
    coll.add(new BeanWithList(Arrays.asList("London", "Paris"), 1));
    coll.add(new BeanWithList(Arrays.asList("London", "Madrid", "Moscow"), 2));
    coll.add(new BeanWithList(Arrays.asList("Rome"), 3));

    return new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(coll);
}

The JavaBean code:

public class BeanWithList {

    // The member's name can be any. The JR engine is using public getter for extracting field's value
    private List<String> cities;
    private Integer id;

    public BeanWithList(List<String> cities, Integer id) {
        this.cities = cities;
        this.id = id;
    }

    // getter should be public    
    public List<String> getCities() {
        return this.cities;
    }

    public Integer getId() {
        return this.id;
    }
}

The jrxml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport ...>
    <subDataset name="dataset1">
        <field name="city" class="java.lang.String">
