How to create table without knowing the number of row? - java

I'm using JasperReports and facing a problem.
I need to create a PDF file with a table, but without knowing the number of its row.
So I decided to use JasperReports API without using iReport or Jaspersoft Studio to create .jrxml design file.
But, I cannot find any sample that helps me how to write code to use table (or crosstab) in Jasper Reports.
Can you help me?

What do you call the process of exporting information and data to a PDF document template?

I want to create a program in Java where the student information will be embedded to a specific template and generated into a PDF. The PDF may contain tables, image, and text.
I just want to know this technique? Here is a sample output below:
Thanks in advance!
I tried looking for the term, and I was not able to find it. I am curious about it since I saw the operator in my cashier where they used a Java program that can generate the PDF that contains the student information from a database and print it.
There are a few useful library for generating PDF document in Java,
I suggest you to look at this library : Apache PdfBox
also you can check this question for creating table:

Is it possible to access the saved data programmatically in a .rpt file, using existing crystal jar/java api?

Netbeans hibernate pdf report

I can't pdf report in netbeans with hibernate connection. I have a jsp page and a submit button which is supposed to read the database with hibernate connection and create pdf report for that. I can handle manually without any problem with jasper reports, ireport etc. So I can see what I want, but I want to do so that when I click on the submit button, it dynamically reads database and then converts the jrxml file to pdf. Also, I don't want it to use beans. Just a simple pdf creation with hibernate. Is that possible? Can anyone help me out with that?
Firstly If you write code or error more accurately we can answer.What is version of hibernate?I tried it with hibernate 3.8 but doesn't work cause jasper report's authors explained thus "We are currently supporting Hibernate 3.3.2.GA. Same version as JasperReports and JasperReports Server. There is also a dedicated library that you can add for compiling code in the "Build Path" preference page.
Unfortunately we currently don't support the co-existence of multiple Hibernate versions.
We will probably work on this in the nearly future." http://community.jaspersoft.com/jaspersoft-studio/issues/3802
Otherwise you can follow these steps;

Converting JTable into PDF File

How to convert JTable into .pdf file format using PDFjet. I want to show the report for gym management system in Java using eclipse. I want to show logo, administrator's details and then table of report. I already visit Example_08, but I am not satisfied with that answer.
You should check out Example03 and combine that with Example08.
Also - what is the specific problem?
did you get a (basic) PDF from that lib?
where you able to add own data to the PDF?
can you change layout?

how to auto-generate a report with JasperReports

I'm working on NetBeans, and want to 'auto-generate' a report with JasperReports.
Here is the deal: I want to create a form that asks for a date frame in order to do a sql query and bring that information; then format it and generate a PDF report out of it.
I see that JasperReports uses the jrxml files compiled to .jasper in order to generate the reports. I want to know if that jrxml could be auto-generated by some code of the API, or it would be needed to edit the jrxml file 'programatically' to auto-generate the report.
Thanks,

Take a look at DynamicJasper. It allows you to programmatically create reports without a jrxml file.
try this :
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jprint, pdfFileName);
it works perfectly.
