Relationships between data tables not working Java

[LuisRamirez-]

Hi, i'm having issues when trying to relate data tables from an XML(Parent to child scheme on nodes) on my project, but when i use the Stimulsoft designer i get my data related as intended on .mrt.

The data on the red rectangle is the one coming from another node for example, let's say, "Car". Every "Car" has a "Brand" and a "Brand" has different kind of "Models". That's just an example of what are we trying to do, but simplified. Here's the XML relationship we actually have:

Code: Select all

<Concepto Cantidad="1" ClaveProdServ="36" ClaveUnidad="45" Descripcion="CAR" Importe="22.85" NoIdentificacion="BZC316" Unidad="Pieza" ValorUnitario="22.85">
	<Impuestos>
		<Traslados>
			<Traslado Base="22.85" Importe="1.83" Impuesto="002" TasaOCuota="0.080000" TipoFactor="Tasa"/>
		</Traslados>
	</Impuestos>
</Concepto>

And as you can see, the Stimulsoft designer 2021.1.1 can render this relationship correctly

Designer 1.png (25.29 KiB) Viewed 4323 times

But this is different when i try to render it on my program:

Designer 2.png (92.84 KiB) Viewed 4323 times

Is like if the relationship created to associate these 2 nodes is not being rendered or loaded. Here's how we generate the .PDF from the .MRT with the .XML file:

Code: Select all

StiXmlDatabase xmlDatabase = new StiXmlDatabase("xml", pathToXml);
StiReport renderReport;

renderReport = StiSerializeManager.deserializeReport(new File(pathToMrt));
renderReport.getDictionary().getDatabases().clear();
renderReport.getDictionary().getDatabases().add(xmlDatabase);
renderReport.setCalculationMode(StiCalculationMode.Interpretation);
renderReport.Render(false);

FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(pdfPath);
StiExportManager.exportPdf(renderReport, outputStream);

I think something like this is necessary for my project: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=59132&p=159065&hili ... ns#p159065
But i can't find anything on the documentation about this for Java, so i need to know how to solve this as this is the only thing peventing me from creating a new feature on a product. Thank's in advance.

Hello,

We need some additional time to investigate the issue, we will let you know about the result.

Thank you.

Hello,

We need some additional time to investigate the issue, we will let you know about the result.

Thank you.

We found the cause of the issue, it was because we used an non-indented .XML as a database, so we had to take the file we had stored on our DB and then indent it. Here's the code we use in case someone find it useful for Java:

Code: Select all

public String indentXml(String xml) {
        
        InputStream inputStream = null;
        String indentedXml = null;
        
        try{
            inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes());
        
            DocumentBuilderFactory docbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
            DocumentBuilder dBuilder = docbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
            Document sourceDoc = dBuilder.parse(inputStream);

            Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
            transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
            transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");

            StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new StringWriter());
            DOMSource source = new DOMSource(sourceDoc);
            transformer.transform(source, result);
            indentedXml = result.getWriter().toString();
        }catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
            indentedXml = xml;
        }finally{
            try{
                if(inputStream != null) inputStream.close();
            }catch(IOException ex){
            	e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        
        return indentedXml;
    }

Hello,

Thank you for the provided information.

Hello,

Thank you for the provided information.

As a comment, it would be great if Stimulsoft included between their libraries an standardized method to do this, as it seems to be a requirement for Stimulsoft to load some features properly and, if possible, include this in some part of the product documentation to prevent future problems like this.

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion. We will investigate that.
