Why is piechart in subreport is not displayed?

Question

With the help of iReport 5.6.0 tool, I have created a master report. Then I have drag and drop a subreport to the repot group band of the master report. I have defined the SQL query and set the key and value via wizard. After that I have added a pie chart to the subreport.

When I run the subreport individually, it works fine with the provided SQL query. But when I run the master report via DynamicReports with Java code, it seems that the query does not work and return null values. As a result, no chart is displayed.

Is there any missing steps in my approach? Do I need to map/link somehow the subreport query results to master report?

Can you please advise?

Answer 1

Since you are using a query in the subreport you should pass the connection, not the datasource to it.

<connectionExpression><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_CONNECTION}]]></connectionExpression>

In your example

<subreport isUsingCache="false">
    reportElement x="0" y="160" width="575" height="77" uuid="eb90e8b6-2860-4c94-ad10-3eb5031502fc"/>
    <subreportParameter name="SUBREPORT_DIR">
        <subreportParameterExpression><![CDATA[$P{SUBREPORT_DIR}]]></subreportParameterExpression>
    </subreportParameter>
    <connectionExpression><![CDATA[$P{REPORT_CONNECTION}]]></connectionExpression>
    <subreportExpression><![CDATA[$P{SUBREPORT_DIR} + "templatereport2_subreport3.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>
</subreport>
