Dynamic Report; No Values Appear [message #763413] Fri, 09 December 2011 18:12 Go to next message

Any help would be appreciated:

I have a report structured as follows; A list where each item is a table. The table is 2 columns with item name and item value.

ID 2
Name Sam

ID 4
Name Sue

etc.

So I see the table created the expected number of times, e.g., I expect three return records and I see three tables. The field names are there. But the field values are blank.

I cannot paste the code in because it's on an internal network - but here's some snippets;

table.insertRow(new RowOperationParameters(2,-1,row));

RowHandle rowHandle = (RowHandle) table.getDetail(row);

CellHandle valueCell = (CellHandle) rowHandle.getCells().get(1); // value cell

TextItemHandle text = designFactory.newTextItem("someName");
text.setContentType(DesignChoiceContsants.TEXT_DATA_CONTENT_TYPE_HTML);
text.setContent("<VALUE-OF>row[\"FieldName\"]</VALUE-OF>");
valueCell.getContent().add(text);

Any ideas?

So you use a list item bound to your dataset and have a nested table in
the the list item detail row? If you you want labels for each row why
not use a grid instead of a table. Why are you inserting a row into the
table? Is the code that inserts the row called before the report is
executed or is it in an event?

Ok - I tried a grid instead of a table - same thing. The problem is that text.setContent("<VALUE-OF>row[\"FieldName\"]</VALUE-OF>"); does not produce a value.

John,

Is the text element in a table that is bound to a data set?
BTW are your setting?
text.setContentType( DesignChoiceConstants.TEXT_CONTENT_TYPE_HTML );

Nope - that was the problem; did not bind properly to the dataset.
