XML to JRXML conversion

[anita.dhale]

Hello All,

I am  new to Jasper reporting and in  have to convert existing xml to jrxml. I tried to find on Internet but nothing relevant was available. CAn you please help me undersstand how to do the same. Currently what I tried is as below: 1. open xml file in iReport 5.6.0 

2. comment the 

<!DOCTYPE jasperReport PUBLIC "-//JasperReports//DTD Report Design//EN" "http://www.jasperreports.com/dtds/jasperreport.dtd"

[

    <!ENTITY header SYSTEM "xxx_header.xml">

    <!ENTITY title SYSTEM "xxxTitle.xml">

    <!ENTITY footer SYSTEM "footer.xml">

]>

3. comment &header, footer and title inside the <jasperReport> </jasperreport>

4. close the xml file and rename file as .jrxml.

5. open the file again in IReport 

this works and allows me to see the designer view and  Preview and generates the .jasper file. However, I am not sure if this is correct approach. Can anyone please advice? 

 

Thank you in advance.

Anita
