ReportDataSourceService

[jgardner16]

Hi,

I have a report that uses a JavaBean set datasource in Ireport and works fine the javabean returns a Collection. Is it possible to do this in JasperIntellegence by implementing ReportDataSourceService and if so how do I do this? If not is there another way to use a javabean datasource with JasperIntellegence.

 

 

thanks

You can plug-in your ReportDataSourceService implementation as data source for a report by defining a Spring bean data source.

 

You would need to:

 

• Implement ReportDataSourceService

  Code:

  
  public class MyDataSourceService implements ReportDataSourceService {
    ..
  }
  

• Write a factory bean for MyDataSourceService, including all the properties needed to create a MyDataSourceService instance

  Code:

  [code] public class MyDataSourceServiceFactory { private String prop1; private String prop2; //property setters public MyDataSourceService createDSService() { //use the props to instantiate the service return new MyDataSourceService(prop1, prop2); } }

Configure a factory bean in Spring. You could do this using a file named applicationContext-myDataSource.xml placed under WEB-INF.

Code:

[code] <bean id="myDataSourceServiceFactory" class="MyDataSourceServiceFactory"> <property name="prop1" value="value1"/> <property name="prop2" value="value2"/> </bean>

Create in JI a bean data source, having myDataSourceServiceFactory as bean name and createDSService as method name.

Select the bean data source when creating the report unit.[/ul]

The thing that I confused about is how does the report get the Collection?

Hi,

Is there sample of this in action. I implemented in ReportDataSourceService I just don't know how to pass my Collection to the report. I am not getting any exceptions just a report with no data.

Found a good example if anyone is interested in the package com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.datasource.test.

Downloading the source :), by the way, there is really really poor documentation about custom data sources for jasperserver, they always refer to their ultimate guide, but well, I can't buy it yet.
