Installing a Custom Data Source Type
To install your custom data source type in JasperReports® Server, add all the files it requires to the server web application directory. For the correct locations, refer to Files Used by a Custom Data Source Implementation. After adding the files and making the configuration changes specified in the previous section, restart JasperReports® Server.
Using a Custom Data Source Type
When you create a new data source type in JasperReports® Server, it appears in the list of available data source types in the New Data Source dialog. If the new type is selected, JasperReports® Server displays a form containing the list of visible properties you configured.
When the form is submitted, the parameter values are validated with your optional CustomDataSourceValidator implementation and appropriate validation messages are displayed. Once the data source is validated, save it to the repository. The data source can now be used in a report, dashboard, or Ad Hoc view.
If the custom data source is not listed as an available data source type, the custom data source is not properly installed.
