Using the XML file with the web

2003-07-30 11:08

Greetings to everyone.

 

I m developing a web system which needs to generate reports and labels.

I already built the Jasper XML file using iReport and now I want to use it with the web so I can select what kind of report I want and each report will have a different SQL query.

 

How can I pass the value to the XML file (for the query) and how to compile a PDF through the web?

 

Thank you very much.

Hi,

 

You can supply the entire SQL query dinamically

using the report parameters.

Not that there are two types of paramters in the

query, depending on the syntax you use:

 

$P{}

 

or

 

$P!{}

 

Check the "query" sample and the documentation

for details about the use of report parameters.

 

Note however, that the query should return the same

set of fields. If not, I'm afraid we are talking about

dynamic report templates and you have to check

the "noxmldesign" sample for that.

 

I hope this helps.
