toonskies Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 This is a very general question.I have installed JasperReports Server 4.5 community edition as part of a side project my boss is exploring.We are in the area of market research, and we get data back from surveys in the a variety of formats: excel spreadsheets, .csv files, .xml file etc... I can turn the .xml files into mysql database tables within a database and I want to display this info withing JasperReports Server. Question is, Do I need to use IReport to create report/s then upload to JasperReports Server? or can I do this all in JasperReports Server?Thanks.

mikewoinoski Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm pretty sure you need ireport to create the reports. JasperReports Server does not provide an interface for creating reports. The report definitions are in an XML format, so in theory you could create reports manually, but the report markup is very complex. It will be much easier to use the free version of iReport from jasperforge.org. Post Edited by mwoinoskibt at 04/12/2012 20:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
