3.4 Expressions (cont.) An expression is a java instruction which has an object as a result Expression examples are the following:
This is an expression new Boolean(true) new Integer(3) (($P{MyParam}.equals(S)) ? Yes : No)

3.5 A simple program

aa.java

Non valid expression examples are the following:

3+2*5 False (($P{MyParam} == 1) ? Yes : No) Software Engineering Department 2011

6. Report elements The basic elements offered by the JasperReports library: Line Rectangle Ellipse Static text Text field (or simply Field) Image Subreport
Software Engineering Department 2011 19

6. Report elements (cont.) Fields

The data sources in JasperReports are always organized in a set of records which are composed by a series of fields exactly like the results of an SQL query.

Variables
To calculate something during the runtime of the report.

Parameters
To pass data to the report engine. The data may be passed from another report, from any program, or directly from the user.

7. Subreports A subreport is a complete report that is placed in another report. If you've got one item that is linked to several items in another table, such as a department and its employees, then a subreport is what you need. In such cases, generally, the main report (where the subreport is placed) contains the data of the master/parent table, and the subreport contains the data of the detail/child table.
