The Domain Designer offers a graphical interface for creating and editing Domains, but you can also export a Domain in XML format and edit it outside of JasperReports Server. Some features, such as default schemas and joins between two columns in the same table, can be configured only in the design file. In other cases, it may be easier to work directly with the XML to accomplish certain tasks. Design files can also simplify the sharing of Domains between systems.
| The results of using a Domain based on an inconsistent or incorrect design file are unpredictable and can be difficult to resolve. Make sure you thoroughly understand Domains and Domain syntax before editing any Domain design files. |
Domain security and translation of Domain labels and descriptions are also configured via optional text-based files that you upload to the Domain. Security and locale options take effect in the Ad Hoc Editor when creating the report and in the final output when running the report.
This section describes the structure of the XML Domain design file and the structure and use of properties files for internationalization. For information about Domain security and Domain security files, see the JasperReports Server Security Guide.
