iReport : set a fixed height for detail band

Question

I'm using iReport with eclipse. I have to display a list of values and I need to set a fixed height for the area (detail band) where will be displayed the values. Let's say 10rows.

Then below this detail band I have two fields that represent sums of the value displayed in the detail.
The sums must be displayed at a specific place in my page: right below the 10rows detail band whether the detail band is full or not. It means that if I have only 6 rows displayed, I must have 4 empty rows below to reach the 10 rows.

If the values displayed take more than 10rows, then a second page is created.

Not sure I am clear, but if anyone can help me on this... Thanks

You can use background band to form a grid structure like below,

<background>
    <band height="555" splitType="Stretch">
        <rectangle>
            <reportElement x="0" y="59" width="555" height="427" uuid="ee3fa6a5-eddb-4b38-b834-f2658bcf92d1"/>
        </rectangle>
        <line>
            <reportElement x="0" y="95" width="555" height="1" uuid="4494e946-4ff5-4d57-b3eb-9d64eda302c4"/>
        </line>
        <line>
            <reportElement x="0" y="125" width="555" height="1" uuid="4494e946-4ff5-4d57-b3eb-9d64eda302c4"/>
