Error compiling JSP

2002-01-04 15:57

Hi,

 

Happy New Year to you too!!

 

I am slowly making progress trying to run my first Jasperreport using your servlet example. My code looks like this:

 

<%@ page import="dori.jasper.engine.*" %>

<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>

<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>

<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>

<%@ page import="java.awt.*" %>

<%@ include file="./bookConnect.jsp" %>

 

<%

 

Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");

String conn = "jdbc:postgresql://" + host + "/" + db + "?user=" + user + "&password=" + pass;

Connection Conn = DriverManager.getConnection(conn);

 

JasperReport jasperReport = null;

jasperReport = JasperManager.loadReport("bookins.jasper");

 

//Preparing parameters

Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage("dukesign.jpg");

MediaTracker traker = new MediaTracker(new Panel());

traker.addImage(image, 0);

try

{

traker.waitForID(0);

}

catch (Exception e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

 

Map parameters = new HashMap();

parameters.put("ReportTitle", "Insurance Report");

parameters.put("Location", "Mitcham");

parameters.put("SummaryImage", image);

 

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, conn);

 

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = JasperManager.printReportToPdf(jasperPrint);

 

response.setContentType("application/pdf");

response.setContentLength(baos.size());

ServletOutputStream outStream = response.getOutputStream();

baos.writeTo(outStream);

outStream.flush();

outStream.close();

%>

 

I am developing my app under Netbeans 3.2, and when I try to compile this page I get the following error:

 

ControlFreak/_0002fControlFreak_0002fbookInsRpt_0002ejspbookInsRpt_jsp_0.java [123:1] cannot resolve symbol

symbol : method fillReport (dori.jasper.engine.JasperReport,java.util.Map,java.lang.String)

location: class dori.jasper.engine.JasperManager

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, conn);

^

1 error

Errors compiling bookInsRpt.

 

Just in case this error doesn't line up properly in the final message (it doesn't look like it's going to at the moment), the error occurs at the fullstop in the fillreport method.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Barb.

Hi, Barbara,

 

There is a small mistake in your code.

You have two variables:

String conn

Connection Conn

 

Make sure you pass Conn to the fillReport()

method and not conn.

 

Good luck!

Teodor

Hi Teodor.

I have tried this example and it works fine.

The server passes PDF format to the client.

The only problem is with the Cyrillic character.

They are all represented with  ????? .

In the .JRPRINT file Cyrillic characters are represented OK,

So my question (or my request) is :

Can you tell me how to pass the JRPRINT format to the client(if it is possible)???

Thanks

Hi,

 

With the current version (0.2.1) of the library,

there is now way to display Cyrillic characters

in PDF.

That's because in this version there is

no support for the PDF fonts and encoding.

 

Your problems will be over with the release of

the new version of JasperReports (0.2.2), which

will introduce a mechanism to map PDF fonts.

 

Users will be able to specify what font and what

encoding will be used when generating the PDF

file.

 

I'm currently writing the documentation for those

new features and I hope they will be sufficient

for all applications that need to generate PDF

reports in different languages.

 

The new version will be released some time

this week.

 

Keep in touch,

Teodor
