can I user jasper reports to create pdf reports without any server?

[kmentzelos]

Hi, I am new to Jasper Reports. I have downloaded iReport and have created a new report from cherry template and I am able to see it in preview.

is it possible to create a pdf from .jrxml file without any server? just JavaSE

this is my code:

      System.out.println("begin ....");

      hm = new HashMap();

      hm.put("myID", "1");

      hm.put("myNAME", "myname");

 

      // Get jasper report

      String jrxmlFileName = "/tmp/f2/alarms.jrxml";

      String jasperFileName = "/tmp/f2/a1.jasper";

      String pdfFileName = "/tmp/f2/a1.pdf";

 

      JasperReport jasperReport;

      JasperPrint jasperPrint;

      jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jrxmlFileName);

      jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport,hm, lib.globals.PgSql.getConnection());

      JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, pdfFileName);

      

 

When i execute the above:

Start ....

ya possible ,even u need not to write java code.you down loaded iReport i think.in that you have a Design ,XML and Preview in top .you just click the Preview mode.

[kmentzelos]

I understand that but I need to do it programmatically using java (JavaSE) because it is an event driven action. 

[Timbo2013]

Of course you can create PDF files without any server...

If it is a simple Java application (Java SE) you might use this:

public class MyReport{   static HashMap<String, Object> hm = new HashMap<String, Object>();       public static void main(String[] args)    {        hm.put("myID" , 1); // Integer        hm.put("myName" , "Timbo"); // String        hm.put(...);               String in = "c:/PATH/TO/YOUR/REPORT.jrxml";        String out = "c:/PATH/TO/YOUR/PDF.pdf";        try        {            // compile report            JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(in);                       // fill report            JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, hm, new JREmptyDataSource());                       // export report to PDF            JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, out);        }        catch (JRException e)        {            e.printStackTrace();        }    }}[/code]

If you are using Maven use:

<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId>
<artifactId>jasperreports</artifactId>
<version>[5.1.0]</version>
</dependency>

The "library edition" links to 5.1.0 and the JasperServer links to 5.5.0 :-)

[bsswartz]

His code does exactly what your code sample does. It is some kind of a new dependency/vexing bug with JasperReports 5.5

[kmentzelos]

It worked! thanks for your answers. but only with version 5.1 

can you explain this to me? why 5.1 is so much different to 5.5?

 

[jasperreport_1]

I dont know, i had the same trouble yesterday too (evaluating jasper reports). A Java SE library shouldnt have dependencies to java ee libraries. Maybe its a bug.

[Java_Jasper]

Make sure you mark the correct answer so people will not be confused later.

[Timbo2013]

And in preview you can save the report in the format you want...

But I think that the subreports and/or data passing are not working unproblematic.
