There’s been some questions floating through the Pentahoshpere (I think I’m the first person to use that word, btw) about how to use Subreports. I think there’s a good description at the wiki that covers the basics, but I don’t think there’s a good working example that is shipping with Pentaho open source yet.
I don’t really have time to delve into all of it so in the spirit of “early and often” I’ll just post the zip file with a working example (on 1.6 GA Designer and Server).
Here tis:

Are you aware of any examples that have a master report that holds a header, one or many subreports(with their own header, ie. column headings), and a master report footer(ie a report disclaimer of some sort). Am having issues, for example with getting the master’s footer appearing at the bottom of all pages, not just the last page.
thanks
Yeah. I don’t think that will work since the Subreport page header footers override the master reports.
Hmmmm….
Hello nicholas,
Sorry i can’t speak english very well.
I’m using pentaho and i found your web.
I’ve read the pentaho’s wiki, but i don’t find a example that i have a parameter with many subreports.
I’ve tried to use your example but I could not make it work.
Can you help me??? my email is konsillere@yahoo.es

Hello, I need to run the examples to realize the configuration parameters for the queries, but the example does not work.
as entering the parameters of the subreport?
Thanks a lot
I’m using the pentaho classic engine (JFreeReport) to show reports from java.
I can run this example at the Report Designer, but how i can do it from java?.
Thanks, for your attention

thanks
