New to Jasper: Need help with multi-page reports

Hi all,

Glad to have found a forum for Jasper reports.  I want to design a 2-3 page report.  I have found many examples where multiple page reports are mere continuations of page 1.  For instance, if we were reporting on number of sales for an item, it is likely that not all of the information would fit on a single page.  So, the examples I am seeing just repeat the same header, and fill in the remainder using the "details" tag.

However, this is not what I am trying to do.  I have a heading, such as a company name/address, etc that I want to display on each page, but the actual data, and therefore column headings will vary between pages.

I was thinking of creating a main page that called subsequent xml files in order to generate the pages I want, however, I am uncertain as to how to do this.  Any help would be incredibly grateful.
