Does XDocReport accepts only POJOs as a list of feeds of data?

[Silas Silva]

Hi all!

I'm using XDocReport for ODT report generation. Angelo, thanks for such a great tool!

I'm using Freemarker parser. It works pretty fine for documents with single values, like:

Name: ${name}
Age: ${age}
...

The problem arises when I want to create a list of people:

(This is a table)
Name / Age
${person.name}  / ${person.age}

It works pretty fine if I use Person POJO as stated in the wiki examples:

  IContext context = report.createContext();
  List<Person> personlist = new ArrayList<Person>();

  while (...) {
    fill in the list...
  }

  context.put("person", personlist);

As I said, it works, but I have a problem: I cannot predict the kind of class I'm going to use because it will be a dynamic solution. The user will insert both the SQL and the template and get the report rendered. Since I don't know previously what data will be fetched from the SQL, I cannot hardcode POJOs.

And it seems that an IContext object put() method always require an Object with information it is going to fetch, right? Could I work with something like a List of HashMaps or something like that?

Thanks!

P.S.: Further research discovers that it seems a limitation of Freemarker. What Freemarker features may help with this problem? Maybe Object wrappers?

Yes you should use an HashMap

It was a long time, but I had created https://github.com/opensagres/xdocreport/blob/master/document/fr.opensagres.xdocreport.document/src/main/java/fr/opensagres/xdocreport/document/sql/SQLDataProvider.java but not remeber how it works.
