New to the iText tool, I took time to read and work
on the tutorial.
In the Chapter 7, the Data Merging section
( http://www.lowagie.com/iText/tutorial/ch07.html
) took my interest and seems to be the element I would like to use but I don't
know how to deal with tables.
As I understood, I can use :
- A database or any kind of source for the
data
- An XML file to build the main part of my report
with iText tags and my own tags.
In the given example, it was possible to insert
tags like <givenName>, <name> ...
How is it possible to describe tables ? Let's
suppose we want to create a report with :
- A paragraph
- Different elements coming from a database but as
single values.
- A list of elements ( ex : coming from a
select firstName, lastName from members )
<letter>
Paragraphe /
Summary
<newline />
<newline />
Information, comments ...
<newline />
Here is the list of
our new members
<newline
/>
<table>
<row>
<cell><firstName/></cell><cell>lastName</cell>
</row>
</table>
</letter>
Does anybody has an example with that kind of job
?
