I have a Java Application and I need to get a Jasper report located in Alfresco. Once I have the report I need to add some parameters and then compile it and generate a PDF.
I know this is possible, using alfresco API and Jasper Report API. I have searched in Java-backed Web Scripts Samples but I don't understand the examples, because i'm new in Alfresco and Java, so any clue would be appreciated.
You might be interested in Benjamin Rodriguez' Jasper Reports Dashlet which he submitted as part of last year's Dashlet Challenge. The dashlet makes it possible to configure and run Jasper reports from within the Share UI. This isn't exactly what you are trying to do but it may be a good source of example code.

I will be creating a sales report using java my source is db2 database i was wondering what is the best method to create(fastest,efficient)?
it will be a comma seperated
JasperReports is a cool tool to create different kind of reports in different formats. It can also be integrated into NetBeans and Eclipse. So just design the report, test it and if you are fine, use the java-libraries coming with Jasper to run your report in Java. The library also has the possibility to hand over parameters.
I am using DynamicReports which uses Jasper Reports in a web application I am making. I got it to work and all seemed good until I noticed that when I closed the Jasper Viewer it stopped my tomcat server. Upon further investigation I found out that the viewer (Java Desktop App) is just showing on my machine because it's also the server machine and doing it on a remote client, the pdf viewer is still showing on my server machine.
Is there a good way to get jasper reports to show on the client computer with a web app?
Or is there a good alternative framework to generate reports and either embed them in JSP or download to the clients machine?
May be it's a bit late to answer the question. But may be the others need help to.
So, I used DynamicReports in my projects with java and jsf. What you need to do is, convert the report object into PDF, Excel or HTML format and display it in webbrowser with url (PDF and HTML), or download it for Excel format. So, the DynamicReports will not open the JasperViewer (don't use report.show() -> it will open JasperViewer in local machine).
OR alternative what you can also do, create desktop application to receive jasper report object through websocket communication and print direct to default printer.
If there are others ways, may be someone can share it.
Unfortunately, DynamicReports project is discountinued or down somehow. May be it's time to find an other alternative, because there is no further development. The reachable site https://github.com/dynamicreports/dynamicreports and https://dynamicreports.lbayer.com/
I hope it can help.
i know that this is a trivial question but this is the best place to ask it. I have a database which is hosted on a website. I have written a Java program that accesses the database and through this program the user can view reports. I used Jasper Reports for this. Now i have a website where the user can log in and would like the user to be able to view the exact same reports but through my website. In other words, what is the equivalent of Jasper Reports for a web page? I know that there is something called JasperReports Server but Im not sure if that is what i am looking for and how is it possible to incorporate into into my html/php site. Can someone please direct me to the right place? Thanks.
You can display Jasper reports using any of the following approaches:
Publish JRXML reports into Jasper server and embed Jasper server into your application using IFrame.
Publish JRXML reports into Jasper server and call those reports in your application using Soap or Restful web services.
Use Jasper API to display jasper reports directly in your application. Refer Jasper reports for Java tutorials for more info.

We have a Java EE based web application and we want to integrate Pentaho reporting API into this application.
So, I'm trying to learn how Pentaho can automatically generate reports containing charts. I have downloaded Pentaho BI server and played with it for a few days. But I'm still clueless about the following issues:
How to generate reports dynamically at runtime without loading those *.prpt files.
Where I can get a simple tutorial about dynamic report generation
What the difference is between Community Dashboard Framework, charting tools and reporting tools.
The documentation on the Community Dashboard Framework site is not properly organized, and there is not a single tutorial about getting started.
If anyone can help me find the answers to some of my questions, it will be great!
You can define reports purely via the API of the reporting engine. Samrat is right on that the preferred way of defining reports is the report designer - as code changes are harder to maintain than changes of a GUI-editable external report definition.
I think the best way to go forward is to grab Will Gorman's book about "Pentaho Reporting 3.5 for Java Developers" which gives you a deep insight into the inner workings of the reporting engine and also how to define reports dynamically.
CDF vs Reporting: CDF is a javascript toolkit for creating interactive dashboards. Dashboards are aimed to provide a high-level overview over the state of your company with the ability to drill down or even customize them. Reports produced by the reporting engine are predefined/"canned" reports that we expect to be run frequently to answer specific business questions. Charts components are just components that produce a given chart for dashboards based on a set of input parameters.
CDF uses reports and charts as content in dashboards.
Without prpt files there is no pentaho reporting. To achieve dynamically, run the pentaho BI server and pass the parameters to the report. Load the report in iframe.
I have developed a Java application and now i want to give some simple printing support. Something like printing invoices , some reports etc.
Right now I'm creating that stuff in html, showing it on JEditorPane. but html support is quite poor and I'm really fade up of that thing. Is there any better way of doing such thing?
Any better browser component, or better tool to create such simple reports? (JDK 1.6)
I love JasperReports for that. In combination with iReport (a GUI for creating the reports) is the best I could find for free in Java to do reporting.
You can also generate PDFs files with iText for printing. Although I think it will be easier to use iReports.
JasperReports is a pretty nice reporting tool for Java. It could be a bit heavy weight for what you want.
Another solution is BIRT which is very simple to use : it is an Eclipse project with a visual editor for your reports. The report is built in 3 steps :
create a DataSource
create a DataSet on this DataSource
create your report, based on the DataSet
DynamicReports is an open source reporting tool. You can create reports quickly without needing to use a visual designer. See the examples.
When printing invoices and reports, no doubt you want them to look more than basic - hence your problem. If your swing application has a server-side component, then look at libraries like Jasper and Docmosis to produce decent reports from the server (since heavy-weight server side is typically aok). If you really need a library just for a client app, there's an old library called JViewPro which is pretty yuk to code with, but can let you layout reports in code for displaying and printing and is a single jar (just be careful about memory usage).
