Shared property file for all the JasperServer

[john.doe1991]

Hi guys,

Could you please advise me how can I setup single property file accessible for all reports and set the default value for parameter (with default value expression in iReport) something like $R{my.shared.property} from that property file. Is there any solution?

Hi,

Can you give more details about what you want to achieve? Do you mean you have a parameter that exists in all your reports and you want it to have a default value coming from a resource bundle?

Are you looking for a way to ensure all reports have a parameter already pre-defined in them?

 

Thanks,
Teodor

I'm looking for a way I have a single common properties file for all reports. And I would like to be able to get this property in report for default value expression something like $R{my.prop} or $P{REPORT_RESOURCE_BUNDLE}.getString("my.prop")

I still don't understand what exactly prevents you from using the same resource bundle file for all your reports by poiting to the same resource bundle using the resourceBundle property of the report template. Please give more details about what exactly you want to reuse across all your reports because I simply don't get it from the two rows of text you've provided so far.

I have almost solved the issue as follows. I put required property to WEB-INF/classes/jasperreports.properties of Jasper Server and then wrote next default expression value for parameter:

JRPropertiesUtil.getInstance(DefaultJasperReportsContext.getInstance()).getProperty("my.shared.property")[/code]

Seems that this solutions fits. But I get an error when I open a report:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Object cannot be cast to net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRParameter[/code]

Could you please help me to get rid of this error?
