iReport Ultimate GuideWe are getting all the distinct address information of customers that place orders in the country represented by theCOUNTRY parameter.5. iReport should detect the following fields: SHIPNAME and SHIPCITY (Figure 10-8).Figure 10-8The query of the report used as subreport6. Let’s put both fields in the Detail band of the report (Figure 10-9).Figure 10-9Subreport designWe now have to test this report. We need to test it because of the way iReport generates the Jasper file that we need whenusing this report as a subreport. When running it, pay attention to what iReport displays in the console view (Figure 10-8). Inparticular, pay attention to where the Jasper file has been stored. By default, it should be in the same location in which yousaved the JRXML file. In this example, I used the same directory for master and subreport templates, so it will contain bothmaster.jasper and subreport.jasper.Figure 10-10 Output of the execution of the subreport as a standalone reportDepending on the value of COUNTRY, you can get an empty report or a report showing some items. It does not matter verymuch at this point, just check that you generated the Jasper file.158
