Strange Problem With Jasper Report

2004-10-02 03:46

Hello!

 

I have created one class which deals with the all functions of jasper. Have one method which runs the report in the Report Viewer.

Code is

 

JasperViewer.viewReport(jrprintFile, false);

 

I am calling this method from the jsp in jsp page.

 

But when I do this from client machine, it opens the report viewer on the server.

 

I need that viewer should be open on client machine.

 

How to do this?

 

Regards,

Chetan Parekh

Install viewer on client machine, spawn a new process and invoke the local program.

The way you're doing it requires you to have the report viewer installed on the client. It would probably be better to return either an HTML or a PDF version, which you can be reasonably sure the client has support for. To do this, try:

 

byte[] report = JasperPrintManager.printReportToPdf(jrprintFile);

 

response.setContentType ("application/pdf");

response.getOutputStream().write (report, 0, report.length);

 

(This is assuming you're using servlets).
