Table is not visible in Jasper Report Java bean

Question

I am making one simple report in Jasper report, data source java bean. I am making one table in report. In jaspersoft studio the table is visible but when i generate the report the table is not visible the rest of the entries are fine and visible. I have added the table in detail section.
xml code:

<subDataset name="TableDataSet" uuid="c661db1a-6eb7-45f7-9b83-60d1e897aa6e">
        <queryString>
            <![CDATA[]]>

        <field name="parts" class="java.util.List">

Java code to add values

pattern.addPart("Door left", 1235, 445);
            pattern.addPart("Door right", 1235, 445);
            pattern.addPart("Top shelf", 1235, 445);
            pattern.addPart("Door right", 1235, 445);
            pattern.addPart("Door left", 1235, 445);
            pattern.addPart("Top shelf", 1235, 445);

I have followed few post on SO here and this one but nothing works. After compiling the jrxml file I can see the table in preview section in Jaspersoft Studio, but not when generating the report.
Any help ?

@AlexK I have only three columns and i have initialised those columns in java as shown above. This way other fields are working not sure about table — Lokesh Pandey, Aug 29 '17 at 08:44

This could happen for several reasons. For example:

Table properties

Report properties

"No detail" Sounds a bit crazy, but this report configuration could also do the trick

Code

You need to pass a collection of your fields to the report

ArrayList<YourReportObject> reportData = new ArrayList<>();
reportData.add(new YourReportObject());

Create a JRDataSource from the collection

JRDataSource dataSource = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(reportData);

And fill the report with dataSource as parameter

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, parameters, dataSource);

Ensure that YourReportObjectcontains all $F{...} fields. The variable names must be equal!

Here are some more examples: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/datasource/

Thank you for your time and your answer. The data source was not properly set in my case. Followed this post here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34432520/how-to-add-collection-of-java-bean-in-table-in-jaspersoft-report and it worked. Thank you — Lokesh Pandey, Aug 29 '17 at 11:13

After following this post solved my problem. I forgot to pass datasource at jr:table component.

Correction made in jrxml:

<subDataset name="Dataset1">
    <queryString>
        <![CDATA[]]>
    </queryString>
    <field name="part" class="java.lang.String">
        <fieldDescription><![CDATA[part]]></fieldDescription>
    </field>
    <field name="length" class="java.lang.Double">
        <fieldDescription><![CDATA[length]]></fieldDescription>
    </field>
    <field name="width" class="java.lang.Double">
        <fieldDescription><![CDATA[width]]></fieldDescription>
    </field>
</subDataset>

Add data source expression in jr:table tag like this:

<datasetRun subDataset="Dataset1">
    <dataSourceExpression><![CDATA[new net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanCollectionDataSource($F{parts})]]></dataSourceExpression>
</datasetRun>

This worked for me.
