i'm using a webservice as datasource.
my report contains simply a title label and a dynamic text field. in the dynamic text field html data are display. if the html text becomes very long (more than one page) i get a pagebreak before the dynamic text field. so i have one page with the title and another page (or more) with the html text. i would prefer the html text would start on the first page.

but if i use inline for display i get a nullpointerexception.
this works if i use an xml datasource but not for my webservice ds.
