How to use JSON as a Remote Data Source (version 5.6.1)

JSON as the Remote Data Source

I would like to share with the community 2 samples of the reports that utilize JSON as the Remote Data Source.

Test report 1:

Remote JSON data source with Data Adapter approach:

Two properties should be defined in the report.

<property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.data.defaultdataadapter" value="JSON_TEST_DA"/>
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.data.adapter" value="JSON_TEST_DA.xml"/>

Corresponding data adapter should be present in JasperReports Server.

I have attached the exported copy of this sample to the article: case_57317.zip

If you import it to JasperReports Server it should be unpacked to the directory

/public/case_57317

Video related to this approach: http://screencast.com/t/X9rFntBGOg

Test report 2:

Please find in the attachment to the article the exported sample of the report that illustrates this approach (Remote_JSON_export.zip)

To test this resource you should:

Import it to JasperReports Server.
Execute a sample of the report, /public/Remote_JSON that uses remote JSON data source.

Regarding the configuration that is used to achieve this:

Do not link a data source

feature is set for this report in JasperReports Server

In the jrxml report is defined the property that points to the remote JSON data source
```
net.sf.jasperreports.json.source=http://echo.jsontest.com/key/value/one/two
```
