Generating a report

[mkiranmk]

Hi, I'm new to Jasper reports. I have gone thru some of the available intro's and tutorial like IBM and devx.

 

 

In these tutorials the demos are using the following piece of code to generate a report in particular format, say PDF and store it to some location.

 

 

Code:

JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile 

 

Is it not possible to just show the report without saving to any location. Because this report is like a status report at any particular time. So any user should be able to just click a link/button to get the current status report. Once the report is generated then it is upto the user wheather he want to save it or just dispose it.

 

 

How can I achieve this? Your help is appreciated.

 

 

Thanks.

Hi mkiranmk.

You can use the below code to export your output directly in the user's browser.

 

Code:

JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream

if you are developing web application then you can show that report in html using JRHtmlExporter in jasper,

have a look at this url which has sample web application

http://www.jwebhosting.net/servlets/jr123/index.html, same application is available in demo folder of jasper(jasperreports-1.2.7/demo/samples/webapp).

Hi, Further to this can we have any link in the generated reports. For ex: I have a report of all the list of employees. Now I want to make each of the employee id as a link and upon clicking it should display the employee details in another report.

 

 

Please help me.

 

 

Thanks in advance.
