WHERE TO PUT .JASPER FILE?

[d.wendler]

I have a Jasper Server running and wonder where do I have to put the compiled reports (.jasper) ?

Hi,

Are you using ireport tool to develop the reports ? If yes select the local repository from the ireport(which needs some configuration.you need to add new repository and give user name and password , Jasper reports server url).After successfull then open that repository from ireport and access the repot files.There you can place your file.

no, Im not using ireports or any gui. I prefere the webservice to upload files but it only accepts jrxml, not .jasper files. I use ant to compile report files via command line / shell. The files are not stored physically, they must be in the database. how to fetch and put files into? via shell or webservice only, no gui

Hi, for standart cases in JRS you will have to use only jrxml files, it should be enough to run the reports from JRS (also by webservices)

[d.wendler]

I cannot run jrxml files as reports. They have to be compiled first.

MMy solution now is to compile the jrxml via ANT to .jasper files,

and here the solution for deploying:

In the postgresql database there are 3 tables for Folders (`jiresourcefolder`), Resources (`jiresource`), ReportUnits (`jireportunit`) and the contents (blob) of those in `jifileresource`.

To import a ressource / file / folder into JasperServer, just INSERT into the database :-))))))

I cannot use the standart JRS GUI running on Tomcat. I want a custom gui that talks to jasper via webservice

[d.wendler]

I can upload jrxml files into jrs via standart web gui on tomcat, but you can't run these reports without compiling. Because only compiled files are stored as/in ReportUnits

What version of JRS are you using and what webservices?

Via "REST 2" webservices we can upload jrxml files and run those reports via webservices, for that purpose you will not use GUI, you just need started JRS. The responce for REST 2 request you can get different formats (like html, doc, pdf...). For previous versions you can ue SOAP requests to get html export of your jrxml report

[d.wendler]

I use 5.1.0 Commnunity Edition.

You do not compile reports? Can you show how to do it?

 

I know the request for report execution is like:

http://:/jasperserver[-pro]/

rest_v2/reports

/path/to/report

.

?

where is one of the following:

html, pdf, xls, rtf, csv, xml, jrprint

 

But whats the request for upload + (pre)compile?

Thx!

Please, check the webservices guide at:

http://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/jasperreports-server-web-service-guide

chapter 3 is what you're looking for

[d.wendler]

thanks.

I can't find anything about uploading jrxml files and let them auto compile by the webservice or jasper. are you sure, you upload a jrxml file, without hitting it on ireports or anything, and just run it? What webservice call to use to upload+compile ?

[Yuri Savochenko]

Your flow can be:

1. create via REST2 new jrxml file in JRS repository. to do that use 2.2.4 PUT request, but inside String resource-descriptor just put your jrxml data

2. create new datasource (if needed)

3. create new jasperreport that uses your previously uploaded jrxml. check especially 2.2.1, there you can find sample resource descriptor for jasperreport or datasource, which you can take as the reference for creating new reports via webservices (2.2.4) (just put your properties/datasource repo path/jrxml repo path/) 

4. after jasperreport was created, then you can run it as said in 3.1.1 (JRS will automatically compile jasperreport)

Also if you consistently run few reports, maybe it would be easier to define them in JRS using WebGUI or uploading the report from iReport into JRS repositor, otherwise you will have to use REST services to create jrxml/create datasource/create report/run report
