Remarks

  • Subreports can be used for constructing complex reports. The reusing of existing reports is another goal of using subreports.

  • The subreport will be shown as a part of master report in case using of <subreport> element.

  • The value of subreportExpression parameter is differ for using at JasperReports Server or just by JasperReports framework (some API using or using in IDE).

    For JasperReports Server it looks like:

    <subreportExpression><![CDATA["repo:subreport.jrxml"]]></subreportExpression>
    

    For using by just JasperReports engine:

    <subreportExpression><![CDATA["/somePath/subreport.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>
    

    The great explanation by @AndreasDietrich can be found at JasperServer: Unable to locate the subreport exception post

  • For some reasons the subreport can be used as a common report - without calling from the master report (with help of <subreport> element). The subreport is always a report.
