printing with applet.jar

[p35t173nc3]

Hey all, previously I have been using the full jasper.jar file with my client side applets. I used the following code to send all print jobs to the same printer (the code I have a problem with follows)

 

Code:

JRExporter exporter = new JRPrintServiceExporter();
								exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, j1);
								exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_SERVICE_ATTRIBUTE_SET, serv.getAttributes());
								exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE_SET, attribs);								
								exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PAGE_DIALOG, Boolean.FALSE);
								exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PRINT_DIALOG, Boolean.FALSE);								
								exporter.exportReport();

 

This worked fine, unfortunately the jasper jar is over a MB; Here is my problem, using the jasper-applet.jar would be preferable but JRPrintServiceExporter etc are not present in this jar file! Is there a better way for me to do this or should I think about adding the required classes to the applet jar!?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

You should create your own applet jar file and put in it only what you think you need (and all required dependencies). What we ship as an applet jar is what we think would be the minimal required viewer functionality.

 

I hope this helps.
