help adding input control

[mkusterm]

Hi, please help,

Am using the jasper 3.x webservice apis

to attempt to add an input control to a

new report unit and having no success so far.

 

My code is able to add a new report unit which

i can run from iReport and the server.

however the input controls do not appear even

though i get no errors when I am adding them.

 

please give guidelines on how to add basic

controls to report units.

 

here is my code:

 

ResourceDescriptor newParam = new ResourceDescriptor();

 

newParam.setWsType(ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_INPUT_CONTROL);

 

newParam.setResourceType(ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_INPUT_CONTROL);

 

newParam.setDataType(ResourceDescriptor.DT_TYPE_TEXT);

 

newParam.setName(cleanName);

 

newParam.setLabel(label);

 

newParam.setControlType(ResourceDescriptor.IC_TYPE_SINGLE_VALUE);

 

newParam.setIsNew(true);

 

newParam.setIsReference(true);

 

newParam.setReferenceUri(jrxmlDescriptor.getUriString() );

 

reportUnit.getChildren().add( newParam );

 

thanks in advance,

mike

Mike,

 

Did you ever figure this problem out? I'm trying to do the same thing without much success.

 

Thanks in advance,

You are not showing all the code, but I can see some problems.

 

The following is wrong:

newParam.setIsReference(true);

newParam.setReferenceUri(jrxmlDescriptor.getUriString() );

 

Resources can be attached to a report unit directly, or by a reference. In the code you show, you are doing both at once, and the reference takes precedence.

 

Try removing those lines.

ok,

I figured this out.  I'm sure there are other ways to do this but this appears to work fine.  It's probably worth noting how I was able to figure this out for those of you that are just learning to use the jasper web services.

Essentially I started up jasper/tomcat in debug mode and attached to it running eclipse.  Then I set a break point in:

 

ManagementService.put

 

From here you can see the xmlrequest.  Then I used iReport to perform the same functions that I'm trying to perform from my application (this let's you see what a valid request should look like) and compared ireport's requests to my own.  From there it was pretty straight forward.  I hope this helps someone out!

 

Here is my code snippet:

 

    private ResourceDescriptor putReportUnit(ResourceDescriptor rd,
            String name, String label, String desc, File report, Map params)
            throws Exception {
        File resourceFile = null;

        ResourceDescriptor tmpDataSourceDescriptor = new ResourceDescriptor();
        tmpDataSourceDescriptor.setWsType(ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_DATASOURCE);
        tmpDataSourceDescriptor.setReferenceUri(reportUnitDataSourceURI);
        tmpDataSourceDescriptor.setIsReference(true);
        rd.getChildren().add(tmpDataSourceDescriptor);

        ResourceDescriptor jrxmlDescriptor = new ResourceDescriptor();
        jrxmlDescriptor.setWsType(ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_JRXML);
        jrxmlDescriptor.setName(name);
        jrxmlDescriptor.setLabel(label);
        jrxmlDescriptor.setDescription(desc);
        jrxmlDescriptor.setIsNew(true);
        jrxmlDescriptor.setHasData(true);
        jrxmlDescriptor.setMainReport(true);

        rd.getChildren().add(jrxmlDescriptor);
        rd.setResourceProperty(
                ResourceDescriptor.PROP_RU_ALWAYS_PROPMT_CONTROLS, true);
        ResourceDescriptor reportDescriptor = server.getWSClient()
                .addOrModifyResource(rd, report);

        //
        // if there are parameters for this report then add the input controls
        Iterator it = inputControls.entrySet().iterator();
        while (it.hasNext()) {
            Map.Entry entrySet = (Entry) it.next();
            String key = (String) entrySet.getKey();
            InputControlParameters ic = (InputControlParameters) entrySet
                    .getValue();

            //
            // add an input control for every key
            ResourceDescriptor jrxmlControl = new ResourceDescriptor();

            jrxmlControl.setWsType(ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_INPUT_CONTROL);
            // jrxmlControl.setDataType(ResourceDescriptor.DT_TYPE_TEXT);

            jrxmlControl
                    .setControlType(ResourceDescriptor.IC_TYPE_SINGLE_VALUE);
            jrxmlControl.setName(key);

            jrxmlControl.setLabel(ic.getLabel());
            jrxmlControl.setDescription(ic.getLabel());

            jrxmlControl.setVersion(2);
            jrxmlControl.setHasData(false);
            jrxmlControl.setMandatory(false);
            jrxmlControl.setIsNew(true);
            jrxmlControl.setIsReference(false);
            jrxmlControl.setStrictMax(false);
            jrxmlControl.setStrictMin(false);
            jrxmlControl.setReadOnly(false);
            jrxmlControl.setMainReport(false);
            jrxmlControl.setParentFolder(rd.getUriString() + "_files");
            // jrxmlControl.setReferenceUri(rd.getUriString() + "_files/" +
            // key);
            jrxmlControl.setUriString(rd.getUriString() + "_files/" + key);
            jrxmlControl
                    .setResourceType("com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.metadata.common.domain.InputControl");
            ResourceDescriptor dataTypeDescriptor = new ResourceDescriptor();
            // dataTypeDescriptor.setWsType(ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_DATA_TYPE);
            // dataTypeDescriptor.setDataType(ResourceDescriptor.DT_TYPE_TEXT);
            // dataTypeDescriptor.setName("String");
            // dataTypeDescriptor.setLabel("String");
            dataTypeDescriptor.setWsType(ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_REFERENCE);
            dataTypeDescriptor.setIsReference(true);

            if (ic.getType() == ReportFieldType.STRING)
                dataTypeDescriptor.setReferenceUri("/datatypes/String");
            else if (ic.getType() == ReportFieldType.DATE)
                dataTypeDescriptor.setReferenceUri("/datatypes/Date");
            else
                dataTypeDescriptor.setReferenceUri("/datatypes/Number");

            jrxmlControl.getChildren().add(dataTypeDescriptor);

            // server.getWSClient().addOrModifyResource(jrxmlControl, null);
            server.getWSClient().modifyReportUnitResource(rd.getUriString(),
                    jrxmlControl, null);

        }
        return reportDescriptor;
    }
