How to create reports from iReport (without/least using JAVA)

[gnyanendra]

Hi,

I have been trying to create custom reports from iReport (and with Jasper server too) but not been able to do so.

1. I understand that to make custom templates, one need to write some sort of code in java, which is less preferred, is there a way?
2. What exaxctly jrxml, jrctx, jrtx, .properties files do? Which all are minimum requirement for a chart (say bar chart)?
I am using a MySQL database.

thanks!

Edit:
- Also, in iReport, i dropped a chart template and passed on a result-set too, but it says empty chart and data passed doesn't reflect in charts.

jrxml, jrctx,jrtx are the extensions.

.jrxmls : this extension is for the report created in ireport say

.jrctx : is extension for chart template

.jrtx : is for report template 

 

The templates once can be designed and saved if they are supposed to be used multiple time for different reports

 

Thanks

Hi,

As you mentioned

" Also, in iReport, i dropped a chart template and passed on a result-set too, but it says empty chart and data passed doesn't reflect in charts."

Did you include a subdataset for the chart ?

And do mind the placement of the chart in the bands in the report.

 

Thanks,
