Running report via URL

[pspjasper]

Hi all,

i'am new with Java and Jaspersoft so my question will be too easy.

After create and compile reports with Jaspersoft Studio i would like to run/call report via URL containing parameters if needed.

What i need to do this? I have to use JasperReport Server? Or JasperReport Library? Which is the light/ simple way to do this?

I read about API's and java application integration but i need some help to focalize the right way.

Thanks to all.

Yes, you will need to publish your report to JasperReports Server, then you can access it a few different ways:

1. Directly on the server's web interface using iFrames so report.html/reportPath?parameter1=value1 that kind of thing
2. Using REST API
3. Using visualze.js

It's not necessary to use JasperReports Server but the easiest solution is to use it.

The other option is to develop a simple servlet using JasperReports library to output a report in html or some other format. Since you are new to Java, this may not be the best option.
