Subreport in Jasper-Reports does not split

I'm stuck with subreports in Jasper Reports. I'm using Jasper Reports 5.0.1, where I've designed a subreport within a subreport:

main-report
- detailband 1 => outer subreport

outer subreport
- detailband 1 => inner subreport
- detailband 2 => summary info

Everything works fine unless the content of the inner subreport grows too large to fit on one page. Instead of adding a page break the report just ends after page 1, even not printing the summary info in the next detail.

I'm a little confused about the whole options I can set in iReport. Which kind of combination of Split Type/Stretch Type/Position Type do I have to use to get that working?

Solution

  • Got it working finally after playing for hours with the settings. For reference:

    • all detail bands need Split Type=Stretch
    • all sub report components need Position Type=Fix Relative to Top
    • all sub report components need Stretch Type=No stretch
    • all sub reports need to have set the report property Ignore pagination=false (unchecked)

    Hope that this is of help to somebody else
