PrimeFaces and JasperReports - java

i'm trying to develop a web app for reporting, and have built a site with EJB3 + primefaces already. Now i'm head aching how to integrate Jasperreport into primefaces... I found no guide or discussion about this topic, I wonder is it not possible? or actually it is not a right way to do? I'm actually quite new to develop JavaEE6, dont plan to use frameworks like spring and seam yet.
model

#LocalBean

Have you tried using the p:fileDownload component inside your commandLink?
See:
http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/fileDownload.jsf
That way, instead of messing around with responseComplete or having to make a separate servlet, you just have another controller/managed bean method that returns an instance of StreamedContent (primefaces class).

You are modifying the response after "responseComplete()". Calling "responseComplete()" should be the last thing you do.

Best way to deal with jasper-methods is to disable ajax in the commandButton/commandLink. Thats how it is possible to stay with the Jasper-conversion.
<p:commandButton title="EK Preview" icon="fa fa-file-pdf-o" actionListener="#{ctrlFiDoc.doReport_PC}" ajax="false"/>
There is no need to stay strictly to the p:fileDownload-element if its not necessary.

Probably this line is causing the issue:
InputStream reportStream = ctx.getExternalContext()
.getResourceAsStream("reports/report1.jasper");

Jasper Report PDF does not open

I am trying to build a sample web application which loads a pdf report generated through jasper reports (.jasper file). However the report does not open as a pdf with the message "This PDF document might not be displayed correctly".
The code snippets are as below. There is no exception log coming in the server log. Any help would be great. Thanks.

response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
try{

SampleReportBean bean = new SampleReportBean();
bean.setName("Hello");
sampleReportBeanList.add(bean);
InputStream is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(deviceJasper);
JasperReport jasperReport = (JasperReport) JRLoader.loadObject(is);

Java code :
InputStream fileInput = getApplicationContext().getResource("/WEB-INF/reports/myjrxml.jrxml").getInputStream();
JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(fileInput);
HashMap map = new HashMap();
map.put("Field", "test");
JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, map);
byte[] output1 = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(jasperPrint);
String filename = "d:/test.pdf";
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(filename);
fo.write(output1);
fo.close();
You are confusing the report data with parameters. I don't see that you have any report data, which is why you are getting an empty report. Further, you are filling a parameter named "Field" instead of the actual report data. So you either need to create a parameter called "Field" in your report, and then refer to it in the detail band, OR you need to pass the report data into your report something like
JRBeanCollectionDataSource data = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(dataSet);
jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameterMap, data);
where dataSet is a collection, such as List<?>. Within the List, you would have an object where one of the properties is Field.
I had also blank page (pdf). Even for the simplest report.Until I sent empty datasource (new JREmptyDataSource())!
This solved my problem:
Map<String, Object> param = new HashMap<>();
param.put("SOME_PARAM","something");
JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, param, new JREmptyDataSource());
Explanation here.
By default, when no datasource info is present in a report, JR generates no pages.

JasperReports: Error creating table trying to use CrossTab without column group

I'm wondering if there is a way to make a table like this using the JapserReports CrossTab or in any other way where the row group is the field value7.
The DataSet used is a JRBeanCollectionDataSource(list of SubViews).
Where SubView is:
public class SubView{
//...
private String value1;
private String value2;
private String value3;
private String value4;
private String value5;
private String value6;
private String value7;
//...getters and setters...
}
Note that there is no need of a column group, but jasper doesn't compile successfully if I don't configure a column group (error message: Crosstab should have at least one column group).
This to me does not seem like a crosstab problem. Crosstab's are used when the columns are dynamic, hence your error message
Crosstab should have at least one column group.
since there is "no need of a column group" the result is achived using the normal detail band and grouping on value7.
So after you put the labels in the columnHeader and the values 1-6 in the detail band you add a grouping on value7 with a groupHeader band
Example (I have only included until value 3 in detail band to sorten the answer

If you like to use crosstab anyway, you need to setup your dataset differently (since also columns become dynamic) check out this for examples: crosstab example

generating jasper reports using ireport designer tool

I generated PDF report using ireport designer tool. Upto here it is fine.
My question is :
If there is no data in the database then it is showing blank pdf page. At this time how can i show "No data found for this request" in pdf?
There is a property of the template WhenNoDataType.
Just set it to WhenNoDataType: AllSectionsNoDetail.
This will have the template(static fields) but no dynamic data from database.
If you just want to print some message than you will have to change the design up a bit. You would need to place a condition at the beginning of your report to check if data is coming from database, and act accordingly.
If you want to show none of the content of your report when there is no data (no title, headers, footers, etc.) then you should add a noData band to your report and put the message there. Then change the whenNoDataType report parameter to NoDataSection.
From the JasperReports Ultimate Guide:
If the <noData> section is defined in the report template, and if the data source is empty, then the <noData> section will be the only one taken into account at fill time
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport xmlns="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd"

Calling Java API in the iReport expression

I'm trying to attach a call to a Java library into the iReport expression.
I tried this with a very simple library returning a hello world string.
package utils;
public class Hello {
public static String hello()
{
return "Hello";
}
}
Within iReport, i want to use this API. I compiled the above library into a jar file. Added the location in Tools -> Options -> Classpath.
then tried the following:
Editing the expression in a a text field new utils.Hello().hello()
Creating a new field and setting its type to utils.Hello. Then using the field.hello() in the expression
In both cases, it complains that it cannot resolve hello. However its in the classpath. I've also tried to right click on the report root and add utils.Hello/utils to the Java import directive. Neither of which seemed to pick up the class.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Your right expression might be like this:
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[utils.Hello.hello()]]></textFieldExpression>
The working sample:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport ..>
<queryString>
<![CDATA[SELECT DISTINCT city FROM address ORDER BY city]]>
</queryString>
<field name="CITY" class="java.lang.String"/>
<detail>
<band height="20" splitType="Stretch">
<textField>
<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="100" height="20"/>
<textElement/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{CITY}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<textField>
<reportElement x="100" y="0" width="100" height="20"/>
<textElement/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[utils.Hello.hello()]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</band>
</detail>
</jasperReport>
You can also add import instruction to the report. In this case the expression will be:
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[Hello.hello()]]></textFieldExpression>
The working sample:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport ... whenNoDataType="AllSectionsNoDetail">
<import value="utils.Hello"/>
<title>
<band height="41">
<textField>
<reportElement x="188" y="11" width="100" height="20"/>
<textElement/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[Hello.hello()]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</band>
</title>
</jasperReport>
Note: For both samples the jar file (with utils.Hello class) must be in classpath.
More info about using srciptlets you can find here.
You field type should be String , not utils.Hello
