JasperReports: Multiple sub-reports inside a master-report

Question

I would desperately need some help to achieve the following:

1. Create a master-report.jrxml, which includes a table of content and the corresponding sub-reports
2. These sub-reports all contain a different chart with different data query, which can be bigger than one page
3. Every page which includes a sub-report must show some static frame with dynamic content like the current sub-report's name and page X of Y

My approach so far was, to create a sub-report.jrxml for each of my required charts (I put chart in the sub-report's summary band). Then I created a MasterReport.jrxml with my static frame which included the sub-reports in the summary band. I expected/hoped that JasperReport would render a the according sub-report after each other, but it just overdraws on the same page.

How can I configure my report, to display the sub-reports after each other on new pages?

Any help with this, would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Try with subReports in a detail band and subRepport element has "Run to bottom" property which, if set to true, will make subReport take the whole page and push next item on a new page. There is also a page break element in JasperReports if "Run to bottom" doesn't work for you . For static content on each page use page header/footer bands.
