Exporting JasperDesign object

[nockdg]

We have a set of reports that are dynamically generated in Java code and so I have a function that can save the JasperDesign to a jrxml file. Previously this was just:

JasperDesign jd = ...

try {
    String classContent = net.sf.jasperreports.engine.design.JRClassGenerator.generateClass(jd);
    java.io.File f = new java.io.File(aFile);
    java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(f);
    fos.write(classContent.getBytes());
    fos.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
}
 

But now with JasperReports 3, this does not exist. The new version requires a JRSourceCompileTask which in turn requires a number of additional objects. So far I haven't found the correct incantation to get this working.

Can anyone help or is there an easier way?

Thanks.

We do use the JasperCompileManager for that (just to ensure to have a valid design)....

 

JasperCompileManager.writeReportToXmlFile(report, fileName);
