imholzj Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I have to upgrade an old server. This server has a very old version of jasperreports and it accepts an XML data POST (URL Points to a report) and returns a PDF.It doesn't look like the current version of jasperreports works the same way. Is there something I can do to ease the distruption to all the apps using the old service? jji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizam Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 You might look at the REST API and see if you can use that to integrate with your apps. You would still have to rewrite stuff but if all you want is to call and get a PDF, that might be the best way to go.https://community.jaspersoft.com/system/files/restricted-docs/jasperreports-server-rest-api-reference_1.pdf"The rest_v2/reports service has a simple API for obtaining report output, such as PDF and XLS. The service also provides functionality to interact with running reports, report options, and input controls." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hozawa Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The old JasperReports Server is probably using SOAP interface while the new server is using REST interface.If you can't modify all the applications accessing JasperReports Server, you may want to have a protocol converter such as an EST to convert from SOAP to REST.
