I'd like to express my happiness with this release of jasperserver. I'm a developer working with jasperserver as a part of our system accessing it trough its web-service. For me the best part of it is the releasing of the source. Now we'll be able to examine how few of the internals were done and surely will help on our project. Thumbs Up for JasperSoft for releasing it all!

Thank you for your prompt response! Looking forward to get dirty hands on your source and hopefully help the product evolve meanwhile we work on our project.

Digging into jasperserver 3 I found that there are some artifacts which are probably deployed into a jaspersoft internal maven repository. Naming one: com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.common:jasperserver-api-common It would be *great* if the state of that repository could be synced with http://www.jasperforge.org/maven2/ once in a while and so we could use that as one of ours repositories. Yes we can still deploy needed libraries to our own internal maven repo and get it done, thing is that these artifacts have a reference to a parent pom which isnt possible to find anywhere since we can't grab de source. We are doing some serious hacking around to get our work done with jasperserver which could be greatly improved if the development of this tool really went public. Sometime ago I asked about how could we get in touch with the real source, no dice. Believing jaspersoft probably wants to do that the delay keeps hunting Me and my team. :( Best Regards

Hi, You may achieve that using the war distribution file. There are very detailed described steps in order to achieve this on jasperserver docs. Of course you'd have to change the default configurations which just point to a localhost based mysql db. Also it could help for your question to be more noticed if you detailed which steps you took and when it failed on your specific environment. Hope you can solve this.

Since JasperServer comes with alot software bundled I'd recommend doing a tweaked setup using just the war file. Also you could take advantage of jasperserver 3.0.0 which they say it is not completely released but seems very stable to me. To get this done you'd need to install by yourself a servlet container which could be tomcat or jboss or any other application server. Most of these programs are installable trough a simple unzip and run. After that since you already got your mysql database up and running too, its just a matter of creating the database and running the scripts present on <jasperserverfolder>/scripts/mysql Also if you want some sample data to see how it works you'd need to use the js-import script on <jasperserverfolder>/scripts/ Well, I recommend you to download jasperserver 3.0.0 and read the pdfs on docs subfolder since they contain much more detailed steps than I have written here. Best Luck

#1 It may be the hardest thing to do but getting to work on it should be the better in the long term. Broadening up the web-service API will make your solution client language agnostic and would be a good addition to the project if you could contribute back. #2 Since you want to do it programatically using this solution you'd have to do manually do the operations you want and then export those xmls which seems not feasible for your purpose. Getting those xmls done using some programming is possible but then you'd need to keep up with how dev team updates xml schemas (it might be not that often). Still, you'd be left to the problem of accessing the server and uploading those xmls which might be a problem on your network security. #3 Would demand very specific and not-so-straight-forward hacking to the version you are using and might *not* be any portable trough newer versions. So I'd pick #1 and would ask for some support of the community to get it fully implemented and back into the open source.

Your stacktrace is signaling that it couldn't read an Object which was expected to be serialized and written at that location. I don't know exactly why jasperreports is trying to read an Object out of a jrxml file but since you could get it working on a standard sql database why not forget about the csv solution?

Hi, I'd like to ask where can I find the source for jasperserver. The svn repository hosted on jasperforge is completely outdated. We are implementing an EJB layer which uses a jasperserver repository trough its webservice, although the documentation recommends the use of jasperserver-ireport-plugin as a reference implementation in java to use this service It seems not compatible with new versions of jasperreports / jasperserver / ireport 3.0.0 Where Do I find the *source* for this plugin? I'd like to also make lay some criticism on the whole project organization. - There are multiple sourceforge projects with duplicated binaries for jasperserver. We as developers have to guess which should be the right choice. - It's ok for the company behind a open source project to sell support for it yet having to pay for the documentation which might explain the very basics for its use shouldn't be payed. - I know it sucks to have someone outside the community to make these type of criticisms. I know this is open source and I'd really like to help out on these issues instead of just posing as a bad boy.
