Installing the WAR File for Production

For production environments, use the stand-alone WAR file distribution to install the JasperReports Server application. Download the WAR file distribution from the Jaspersoft community site (http://community.jaspersoft.com).

The WAR file distribution contains the JasperReports Server web archive file and the scripts to create and load the database.

Important JDK 17 note: As of release 8.2, only Tomcat 9.0.x (the latest available) is supported by JasperReports Server on a system with JDK 17. An additional installation step is required on a system with JDK 17, which requires adding the JAVA_OPTS environment variable.

This chapter describes how to install the WAR file on the Apache Tomcat and JBossEAP/Wildfly application servers. For a list of supported JDK/JVMs, application servers, databases, operating systems, and browsers, refer to the JasperReports Server Supported Platform Datasheet. s
