webService runReport() and save it in repository?

[taborda]

hi,

 

is it possible (what are the parameters i should use?) to run a report, but instead only of returning the report i would like a copy of the report (pdf or html) stored in the /contentFiles repository?

 

i know how to do that using the server interface, but how can i do that from my java application using the web service function runReport()

 

best regards,

The JasperServer web services API does not have that functionality. You would have to extend the API to do this.

thanks for the answer,

 

is there explained anywhere how the architecture of JasperServer works?...

 

because from the web interface of JS we can do that, right?..with the runReportInBackground function, so i would like to know how this funciton works...

 

does it call the webservice?..or does the "service" alone?..

 

i can extend the API but if i do that i can see one problem: the next version of JS maybe is not compatible with my API :s...

 

i already saw another way.. but it's too inefficiently i can use the runReport() webservice, receive the report in the client side and send it again with the put().. but i would like a more "elegant" solution ;)..

What approach did you take to do this?  I am trying to do the same thing, and want to avoid having to do as you suggessted.  Has this been implemented in the 3.7 api?
