Editing report templates in web application

[andrey_nado]

Hello!

 

I have to change report page layout and content in runtime (change images and text blocks, their positions, colors etc).

 

Is there a way to use iReport (or some its part) in Java applet to edit report template?

 

If not, is there a way to use standalone iReport installed and load report template from web (and write too, of course)?

 

If not, do you know any third-party solutions (either free or not) which could help me?

 

Thanks,

 

Andrey

You can use the approach used by the JasperServer plugin for iReport.

 

The plugin is installed in iReport and provides a way to get from the remote repository the jrxml files. They are saved in local temporary files, so they can easily be edited by iReport. Them you case store them back on the server.

All is done with a set of WebServices.
