Hi, all..

 

How can I set report's source (which is XML) from a servlet which generates results in XML?

Hi,

 

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but if it is about feeding XML produced by a servlet as data for a JR report, it should not be difficult.

The JRXmlDataSource implementation can read XML from any input stream, including those coming from a HTTP connection to a servlet.

 

If you think you need to see some code that does something like this, then you could check the JasperReports-Extensions project here:

http://jasperforge.org/sf/scm/do/listRepositories/projects.jasperreports-extensions/scm

 

It contains an enhanced XML data source able to load XML from a given URL.

 

I hope this helps.
