web services: help with the reportimage servlet, jasperPrintName and jrprint

[kburns]

From looking at the regular jasperserver interface, I know the servlet is located at:

/jasperserver-pro/reportimage?jrprint=1288466012_1306878828078&image=px

What is the jrprint parameter? Where does it come from?

I do not have any images in my reports. At the moment I am only concerned by the 1x1 pixel shim gif. That is being used to fill in white spaces and keeps causing a bunch of broken image links.

I have been digging through the server source code and see it referenced as:

<js:jasperviewer    imageServlet="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/reportimage?jrprint=${jasperPrintName}&"    page='${requestScope.page}'    jasperPrintAttribute="${jasperPrintName}"    innerPagination="${showPagination}"    ignorePageMargins="${ignorePageMargins}"    renderJsp="${requestScope.reportDisplayForm}"/>

Here it is referenced as jasperPrintName, but there is no explanation in the code as to where it is defined. Any ideas?

Anyone has experience putting an image in a report and using web services?

I googie for answers and keep ending up at my own threads.

Still very confusing.

No one has done this?

 Bump.

JasperReports Server ships with a samples directory. Did you start with this:

.../samples/java-webapp-sample

That shows a small working app that makes calls to get reports via web services. This is probably the best place to start.
