In the server, a report unit is the collection of elements for retrieving data and formatting output. Anatomy of a Report Unit shows these elements:
|
•
|
The data source and query that retrieves data for the report. |
|
•
|
The main JRXML that determines the layout and is the core of the report unit. |
|
•
|
The main JRXML defines other elements in one of the following ways: |
|
•
|
Creating definitions internally |
|
•
|
Referring to existing elements in the repository using the repo: syntax |
|
•
|
The input controls and other resources. |
For more information about the report unit, refer to the JasperReports Server Ultimate Guide.
Adding a Simple Report Unit to the Server
This section presents an example of uploading a JRXML to the server. The report only has two image resources. The example defines a custom query for the report unit.
To add the simple report unit to the server, you need access to the following sample data installed with the server:
|
•
|
<js-install>/samples/reports/AllAccounts.jrxml |
|
•
|
<js-install>/samples/images/logo.jpg files |
