Hi there

I got a question is it possible to create a reportdesign in java with the help of the API.

I want to add a Headline field to each reportdesign and I don´t want to do this by my own. This should do a java programm for me.

Could anybody help me

Absolutely. Have a look at the design engine api:

Thanks a lot

I still got one problem. This solution add everything at the bottom of the report.
Do you have any idea how I can add my stuff on a certain point.
I want to add it at the top of my report as a headline

Thanks

You should be able to insert into a position:

designHandle.getBody().add(content, newPos)

where content is the design handle for your headline label or data item.
newPos is just an integer. Try 0.

Attached is a DE API example that shows adding various things to a
report including a text item.

Yes the same way you edit a report.
Just open a library instead of a report:

LibraryHandle libhan =session.openLibrary("reports/test.rptlibrary");
DesignElementHandle mytable =
libhan.getElementFactory().newTableItem("mytable");
libhan.getComponents().add(mytable);
