Question

I'm having a problem with subreport connected to a XML file. When I execute the report the preview don't show the subreport data, but if I execute the subreport alone, it shows the data correctly. What am I doing wrong?

Data File:

<REPORTDATA>
<HEAD>
    <NUMBER>1</NUMBER>
    <DESC>BLA BLA</DESC>
    <DATE>2012.01.01</DATE>
</HEAD>
<GRID1>
    <line id="1">
        <NUMBER>11</NUMBER>
        <DESC>g11BLA BLA</DESC>
        <DATE>2012.01.01</DATE>
    </line>
    <line id="2">
        <NUMBER>12</NUMBER>
        <DESC>g12BLA BLA</DESC>
        <DATE>2012.01.01</DATE>
    </line>
</GRID1>
<GRID2>
    <line id="1">
        <NUMBER>21</NUMBER>
        <DESC>g21BLA BLA</DESC>
        <DATE>2012.01.01</DATE>
    </line>
    <line id="2">
        <NUMBER>22</NUMBER>
        <DESC>g22BLA BLA</DESC>
        <DATE>2012.01.01</DATE>
    </line>
</GRID2>

Solution

For sub report with the xml files as a datasource, you need to specify the datasource for the sub report. Properties you need to have a look at are

Connection Type : Use a Datasource Expression
Connection / Datasource Expression :

((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRXmlDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}).subDataSource("//YOUR_SUBREPORT_ENTITY").

You will need something similar to this

<dataSourceExpression><![CDATA[

((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRXmlDataSource)
$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}).subDataSource("//YOUR_SUBREPORT_ENTITY") ]]>
</dataSourceExpression>

OTHER TIPS

Maybe now its not actually for you, but someone it help.

All what need - its set datasource expression for subreport, how it realise:

<dataSourceExpression>
<![CDATA[((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRXmlDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}).datasource("YOUR_SUBREPORT_XPATH") ]]>
</dataSourceExpression>

Instead "YOUR_SUBREPORT_XPATH" use XPath that you set in subreport. In this case it will be "/REPORTDATA/GRID1/line"
In newer versions of Jasper (i used 6.x) is better and correct use .datasource(...) instead .subDataSource(...)
