Embedding Jasper Reports Pages within Salesforce

Using Visualforce, I have managed to be able to embed Jasper Reports into Salesforce.

Visualforce is the component-based user interface framework for the Force.com platform. The framework includes a tag-based mark-up language, similar to HTML.

Login into Salesforce with the correct privileges.. (Developer Account Needed)               

1. Go to the Developer Account menu option

   

   -

2. Create a VisualForce Page – From the search box on the left, type in pages

   

3. Select to Create a Visualforce Page

   

4. and create a new page as follows ..

   

   And Save.

5. Go to the Home Page Components as below (left hand side)

   

6. Create a New Custom Component

   

7. and then

   

8. Create your custom component by associating the VisualForce page with the Custom Component above and selecting the height of the component area.

   

Now the component should have been added to the Home Page but note the following because its a http link inside a https site you will have to get relevant browser option disabled to see it.
