Cloudfoundry

Getting Started Summary

[toc on_off::hide=1]

In principle JasperReports Server works on both cloudfoundry.com and Micro Cloud Foundry. (We have tested both!) But in practice only Micro Cloud Foundry is recommended for now. You cannot yet allocate sufficient memory on cloudfoundry.com. That will change in the future, of course.

1. Download JasperReports Server updated for CloudFoundry. (Both Professional and Community Editions are available.)
2. Push it to Micro Cloud Foundry. By default it has only 1 GB of memory. You must configure Micro Cloud Foundry to have enough memory.
3. Bind one of your existing data sources to JasperReports Server.
4. Login to JasperReports Server and define a data source referencing this bound data source.
5. Install iReport.
6. Design a report.
7. Deploy the report to JasperReports Server.

Deploying and Using JasperReports Server in CloudFoundry

Push JRS to CloudFoundry

• Using the command line vmc tool is the default method. Example using vmc push.
• This can be done in Eclipse or STS.

Bind Data Sources

• Using the command line vmc tool. Example using vmc bind-service.
• This can be done in Eclipse or STS.

Define Data Sources in JasperReports Server

• Login to the application (default credentials: jasperadmin/jasperadmin)
• Define a data source using a bound Cloud Foundry data service.
• Define a data source to an external JDBC data source.
