pdf generation

[samaresh]

is there a way to generate PDF using jasper server api?

 

does jasperserver gives api/exposes any webservice method to generate pdf?

[lucianc]

The runReport web service operation can produce PDF output. You can find more details about this in the JasperServer web services guide.

 

HTH,

Lucian

it will be very helpful if you can post sample code to generate pdf using runreport.

 

i have seen that we have to set run_output_format to pdf.

can you please give the steps to do it???

 

Thanks in advance

There is a great example of this in the JasperServer distribution. Look under samples -> webapp-sample, and it has the details that you will need.

 

Pay close attention to the web service client code, it helped me the most.

i have downloaded jasperserver-2.0.1-src.zip and seen under

jasper server 2.0.1jasperserver-2.0.1jasperserversamplesjava-webapp-samplesrccomjaspersoftjasperserversampleWSClient.java

it has not given any example of getting pdf from runreport method.

 

please help me out.

 

Thanks in Advance!!!

 

Here is the Code

======================================================

 

 

import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint;

import com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.irplugin.JServer;

 

import com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.metadata.xml.domain.impl.*;

 

public class WSClient {

 

private JServer server = null;

 

public WSClient(String webServiceUrl, String username, String password)

{

server = new JServer();

server.setUsername(username);

server.setPassword(password);

server.setUrl(webServiceUrl);

}

 

public java.util.List list(String uri) throws Exception

{

ResourceDescriptor rd = new ResourceDescriptor();

rd.setWsType( ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_FOLDER);

rd.setUriString(uri);

return server.getWSClient().list(rd);

}

 

public ResourceDescriptor get(String uri) throws Exception

{

return get(uri, null);

}

 

public ResourceDescriptor get(String uri, java.util.List args) throws Exception

{

ResourceDescriptor rd = new ResourceDescriptor();

rd.setWsType( ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_REPORTUNIT);

rd.setUriString(uri);

return server.getWSClient().get(rd, null,args);

}

 

public JasperPrint runReport(String reportUri, java.util.Map parameters) throws Exception

{

ResourceDescriptor rd = new ResourceDescriptor();

rd.setWsType( ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_REPORTUNIT);

rd.setUriString(reportUri);

 

return server.getWSClient().runReport(rd, parameters);

}

 

}

Now you should look at each .jsp included in the sample, this is where the actual implementations are. They are very straight forward.

 

(runReport.jsp, executeReport.jsp etc.)

 

Hope it helps.
