JasperPrint - and export (output) to other formats

[nchirr]

Hi,

Currently we are creating the report for our users in PDF format. And this is what is actually stored in the Jasper meta data tables.

During my research, I am thinking if I had created the report as a JasperPrint object and stored it in the meta data table. Later on, I can export the JasperPrint object into any other format that the user in interested in.. say for example one user might want to export the report into .PDF .. and another user would want to export that report as an Excel report.

Can someone please confirm or address this approach please.

Thanks,

Nagesh

Nagesh,

Yes, this is a reasonable approach. Jaspersoft Professional Services have implemented that for several different customers.

It's a reasonable future enhancement to make this a core feature of JasperServer, but to my knowledge it is not schduled.

Thanks Matt for the confirmation.

A quick followup - do you know of any format issues/problems, while attempting one such thing.

From the original JasperPrint Output to .PDF and also to .XLS?

Thanks,
