Ruby on Rails client for JasperServer

[mzukowski]

Variations of this have been posted here, however the old code had some bugs... this version works very well for us:

Here's a usage example (as a Rails controller action method):

 

Code:

def jasper_for_rails_example

  format = params[:format].downcase # e.g. 'PDF'
  mimetype = Mime::Type.lookup_by_extension(format)

  jasper = JasperClient.new(:username => 'foo', :«»password => 'bar')
  data = jasper.jasper.run_report('/foo/bar-report', 
           format,
           'start_date' => Time.parse(params['start_date']),
           'end_date' => Time.parse(params['end_date']),
           'some_other_param' => params['some_other_param']
         )

  send_data(data, :type => mimetype)
end

Thank you so much for your code. Your code is cleaner than the one I have in my jasper_runner plugin. Do you mind if use it in my plugin?

 

On the other hand, the sample client you posted has some typos. I believe it should be like this to work:

Code:

def jasper_for_rails_example



  format = params[:format] # e.g. 'PDF': format must remain uppercase for jasper to recognize it

  mimetype = Mime::Type.lookup_by_extension(format.downcase)



  jasper = JasperSoapClient.new(:username => 'foo', :«»password => 'bar')

  data = jasper.run_report('/foo/bar-report', 

           format,

           'start_date' => Time.parse(params['start_date']),

           'end_date' => Time.parse(params['end_date']),

           'some_other_param' => params['some_other_param']

         )



  send_data(data, :type => mimetype)

end

 

As a side note, I tested your code with a rails app running on Jruby and it works as long as I fix the httpclient.rb file (from the soap4r gem) to set SSLEnabled = false.
