jasper reports - Create consecutive tables in jaspersoft -

i using jasperreports , cannot find way create consecutive tables. when first 1 filled in, next 1 cover instead of being shifted.

did face problem before?

update

i using subreport 2 detail bands , 1 table each of detail bands.

so far generate page parent report subreport area blank.

this code interact reports:

try {      hashmap param = new hashmap();      jrbeancollectiondatasource tablea = new jrbeancollectiondatasource(tableaitems);     param.put("atabledatasource", tablea);     jrbeancollectiondatasource tableb = new jrbeancollectiondatasource(tablebitems);     param.put("btabledatasource", tableb);     param.put("tableheada","table header");     param.put("column1ahead","a col 1");     param.put("column2ahead","a col 2");     param.put("column3ahead","a col 3");     param.put("header","sample report");     param.put("thedetails", "the details");     param.put("detail1label", "detail band 1");     param.put("detail2label", "detail band 2");      inputstream parent = main.class.getresourceasstream("/sample_parent.jasper");     jasperprint jpparent = jasperfillmanager.fillreport(parent, param, new jremptydatasource(1));      jasperexportmanager.exportreporttopdffile(jpparent, "c:\\reports\\samplereport.pdf");   } catch (jrexception e) {     e.printstacktrace(); } 

as usual, sample code uploaded github repo linked below.

your immediate problem frame containing jr:table not have positiontype="float", have set jr:table need set frame).

however better control , achieve desired layout (since have tables right), consider create 2 subreport.

pass subreport new jremptydatasource(1) datasource generate 1 record detail band , parameter map, parameter $p{b3questionsdatasource} etc. in subreport.

1. subreport, containing table a,b in image, either put them on below each other or use multiple detail band's

   <detail>   <band height="50">       ... table 1 ....   </band>   <band height="50">       ... table 2 ....   </band> </detail> 

2. sub report, table c , new table d (as in example above).

in main report included subreport's on next each other.

example

<subreport>    <reportelement x="0" y="20" width="400" height="20" uuid="a7a89ebb-54d4-4b6e-8c9f-c107e8a40bbb"/>     <parametersmapexpression><![cdata[$p{report_parameters_map}]]></parametersmapexpression>     <datasourceexpression><![cdata[new net.sf.jasperreports.engine.jremptydatasource(1)]]></datasourceexpression>     <subreportexpression><![cdata[$p{subreport_dir} + "subreport1.jasper"]]></subreportexpression> </subreport>
