I have a frame, I am using that frame to display the gender field. I have added two textfields
in that frame, one to display gender label and other to display gender field value. When gender fields are empty Jasper is rendering empty line, I want to remove this empty line.
<frame>

I have applied isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"
on frame as well as two textfield,isBlankWhenNull="true"
is applied on both the textfields still no success. Am I missing something?
It is simple to fix your issue - you should set isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"
for the first textField (with ($F{country_id} != 1 ? "Gender" : null
epxression). In this case everything will be fine.
<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement positionType="Float" stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" x="0" y="0" width="104" height="15" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"/>
<textElement>
<font size="10" isBold="false"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[($f{country_id} != 1 ? "Gender" : null )]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
I modified your template for check as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

and it works like a charm:
You get the result above for example using combinations of parameters like:
In case using this values:
the reslut will be:
You can also simplify this fragment as at this example:

</textField>
</frame>
</band>

</jasperReport>
In this sample the isRemoveLineWhenBlank and printWhenExpression used only for frame element.
It is works the same as this example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<textField>
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="0" y="60" width="430" height="15"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["Third line"]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<frame>
<reportElement positionType="Float" x="0" y="45" width="430" height="15" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"/>
<textField isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="100" height="15" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$P{country_id} != 1 ? "Gender" : null]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<textField isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement x="100" y="0" width="100" height="15" isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$P{country_id} != 1 ? $P{gender} : null]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</frame>
</band>
</title>
</jasperReport>
The result will be the same, for example in case country_id == 1
:
UPDATE
You forgot to set isRemoveLineWhenBlank="true"
for frame with gender in your new snippet. After making this fix your new sample also works well in iReport 5.6.0. I replaced fields with parameters for testing purpose and change the order of frames to hide the frame with gender.

The design in iReport looks like:
I set parameters like this:
- country_id = 1
- gender - empty
- is_pd - default value (= true)
- category_id - default value (=1)
The generated report for this parameters looks like:
In case using this set
- country_id = 2
- gender = "M"
- is_pd - default value (= true)
- category_id - default value (=1)
the result will be:
