Lib and dist folders are not listed in my JasperReports server 6.3.0 installation

[subramanyaks79]

I've installed Jasper Reports Server 6.3.0 using "jasperreports-server-6.3.0-windows-x64-installer". Affter my installation folder doesn't contain dist and lib folders in the main folder. And I'm using ant command to build the report (or to view my report template). How to do it? What should i do now? How can I build the report??

I'm getting following error when I run >ant, where test is my project folder.

Developing and running reports with JasperReports Server is different from JasperReports.

The Server does all the compilation, running and viewing. You can't use Ant to view reports with the Server.

The Server process is:

1. Develop and test your report in Studio
2. Set up a connection to your Server in the Repository Explorer tab in Studio
3. Publish the report from Studio to the Server
   1. Publish is a button on the upper right of the Design tab of Studio
   2. This will send the JRXML to the server and create other information like data sources and input controls to  build a "Report Unit" in the Server
4. Login to the Server
5. Find and run the report by clicking on it
   1. The Server will do the JRXML compilation, connect to the data source etc
6. The report will display in the browser

hi swood_1,

How can i develop the reports by writing jrxml file and java code?
And is it possible to publish to jasperreport server?

I want to use ANT task to generate reports. And Oracle SQL as datasource.

 

Please help me to work on this.
