JasperReports Repository Structure

[ankushchhabra]

Hi, 

I have started Implementation of JasperServer5.0 on  a java based enterprise web application. 

That application is divided into 7 products with each product having seprate  Database , Logos and other resources.

However, all 7 products  have some reports whose UI desidn is common except logos and datasource.

 

I would like for community members to advice to me "What should be design of Repository Structure"

There are two approaches in my mind:

1) Keep JRXML together in 1 folder , Keep Datasource together  in 1 folder, Keep logos together 1 folder and then create 7 folders for each product and each of 7 folder will having reports which will be using logo/jrxml placed at a common location or folder

2) Create 7 parent level folder for each product and dont share anything among them .  then for each of product ,store only 1 datasource. 1 logo   etc.  Once you are inside of a folder of a particular product, then  you will only see the resource which belong to it.

 

Please suggest.

 

Thansk and Regards,
