public interface JRHyperlink
extends JRCloneable

An interface providing hyperlink functionality. It must be implemented by elements that can contain hyperlinks. There are three types of hyperlinks: reference, anchor and page. The reference type just points to an external resource. The anchor type can point to an anchor in the current document or inside an external referenced document. In the latter case, users have to specify both an anchor expression and a reference expression. The page type can point to the beginning of a specific page in the current document or an external document (in the same way that anchor type does).

Method Detail

getHyperlinkType

byte getHyperlinkType()

Deprecated. Replaced by getHyperlinkTypeValue().

getHyperlinkTypeValue

HyperlinkTypeEnum getHyperlinkTypeValue()

Retrieves the hyperlink type for the element.

The actual hyperlink type is determined by getLinkType(). This method can is used to determine whether the hyperlink type is one of the built-in types or a custom type. When hyperlink is of custom type, CUSTOM is returned.

Returns:

one of the hyperlink type constants

getLinkType()

getHyperlinkTarget

byte getHyperlinkTarget()

Retrieves the hyperlink target for the element.

The actual hyperlink target is determined by getLinkTarget(). This method can is used to determine whether the hyperlink target is one of the built-in target names or a custom one. When hyperlink has a custom target name, HyperlinkTargetEnum.CUSTOM is returned.

Returns:

one of the hyperlink target constants

getLinkTarget()

getHyperlinkReferenceExpression

JRExpression getHyperlinkReferenceExpression()

Returns the expression whose value represents the hyperlink reference. It is only used when the hyperlink type is reference or anchor

getHyperlinkAnchorExpression

JRExpression getHyperlinkAnchorExpression()

Returns the expression whose value represents the anchor. It is only used when the hyperlink type is anchor.

getHyperlinkPageExpression

JRExpression getHyperlinkPageExpression()

Returns an integer representing the page index of the link. It is only used when the hyperlink type is page. If the expression does not evaluate to an integer, an exception will be thrown.

getLinkType

java.lang.String getLinkType()

Returns the hyperlink type.

The type can be one of the built-in types (Reference, LocalAnchor, LocalPage, RemoteAnchor, RemotePage), or can be an arbitrary type.

Returns:

the hyperlink type

getLinkTarget

java.lang.String getLinkTarget()

Returns the hyperlink target name.

The type can be one of the built-in names (Self, Blank, Top, Parent), or can be an arbitrary name.

Returns:

the hyperlink target name

getHyperlinkParameters

JRHyperlinkParameter[] getHyperlinkParameters()

Returns the list of hyperlink parameters.

The parameters can be used by custom hyperlink types to generate dynamic links.

Returns:

the list of hyperlink parameters

getHyperlinkTooltipExpression

JRExpression getHyperlinkTooltipExpression()

Returns the expression which will generate the hyperlink tooltip.

Returns:

the expression which will generate the hyperlink tooltip
