iReport problem

2006-09-11 08:22

Hello all,

I'm new in iReport. I have seen a tutorial to use iReport from an XML Datasource:

http://jasperforge.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.ireport/wiki/UsingTheXMLDatasource

The xml that I have tested in iReport is addressbook.xml

The Record path is: /addressbook/category/person

<LASTNAME>Davolio</LASTNAME>

<FIRSTNAME>Nancy</FIRSTNAME>

<hobby>Radio Control</hobby>

</hobbies>

<email>email1@my.domain.it</email>

<email>email2@my.domain2.it</email>

</person>

<LASTNAME>Fuller</LASTNAME>

<FIRSTNAME>Andrew</FIRSTNAME>

<email>email3@my.domain3.it</email>

<email>email4@my.domain4.it</email>

</person>

</category>

<LASTNAME>Peacock</LASTNAME>

<FIRSTNAME>Margaret</FIRSTNAME>

<hobby>Toy Horse</hobby>

</hobbies>

<email>Peacock@margaret.com</email>

</person>

</category>

</addressbook>

I have tried the example and all works. Then, I have changed the xml adding a different tag on the same level of the tag category,for example :

</authors>

<LASTNAME>Davolio</LASTNAME>

<FIRSTNAME>Nancy</FIRSTNAME>

<hobby>Radio Control</hobby>

</hobbies>

<email>email1@my.domain.it</email>

<email>email2@my.domain2.it</email>

</person>

<LASTNAME>Fuller</LASTNAME>

<FIRSTNAME>Andrew</FIRSTNAME>

<email>email3@my.domain3.it</email>

<email>email4@my.domain4.it</email>

</person>

</category>

</addressbook>

and when iReport create the PDF document I see the value null in the cycle of the tags category. Seems that iReport doesn't read exactly only the path /addressbook/category/person but read even the tag authors that is not correct!!

I can I solve this problem???

Than, the last question :

in the first example of xml addressbook the category tag has the attribute "name".

If I want only show the categories that have name="work", how can I do in iReport??

Thanks for all your response,

Francesco

I'm not sure exactly what your question means... however..

A report is a JasperReport (based on jrxml). A report unit is a report inside of jasperintelligence (which includes such things as datasources, images and other resources).

We have a jasperintelligence repository and this is implemented as a database (database "jasperserver"). All of the metadata around a report unit is stored in the database (ie all the resources: jrxml, datasources, images, etc).

If you want to see what goes where in the db it is best to look at the database itself with a db viewer tool and look at a database that is populated with the sample data.

Also, keep in mind that all forum activity is moving to jasperforge.org.

Shivaraj,

You will not be able to not effect the database when you are doing an installation.

However, you can use the jasperintelligence-1.0.1-bin.zip which is a "stand-alone" war file archive. In this zip you will find a jasperserver.war (this is the stand-alone war). You can follow the instructions in the jasperintelligence-warfile-install-guide.pdf to do the installation/configuration (ie drop it into Tomcat). Then all of the database configuration is done by hand.

Please note that all forum activity is moving to jasperforge.org

Is 1.0.0 what I get if I check out the "trunk"

from the Subversion repository?

I don't see any tags/branches for 0.9.2. Is

this correct? ... or is my Eclipse Subversion

plugin, Subclipse, just not showing me the

correct state of the project?

By: Sherman Wood - sgwood

RE: JasperIntelligence 1.0.0 Released

2006-07-01 06:56

We have not released the latest source into SVN just yet. The source is included in the src distribution for now.

RE: JasperIntelligence 1.0.0 Released

Does JasperSoft have any documentation on their use of

Subversion? With some open source projects the publicly

accessible CVS or Subversion repository is *the* development

repository. This does not seem to be the case for JasperServer.

Is the JasperIntel Subversion repository on SourceForge just

another release avenue, like downloadable .zip or .tar.gz files?

Do releases via the Subversion repository lag behind those on the

downloadable files page? Some clarification on this would be

very helpful, since many people are used to seeing the "latest

and greatest" in the code repositories of "Open Source" projects.

By: Sherman Wood - sgwood

RE: JasperIntelligence 1.0.0 Released

2006-07-03 05:33

We started developing with a JasperSoft internal SVN repository and have continued along that way, just due to time. Once we get the installers released, we will get the 1.0 source out to SourceForge SVN.

In a few weeks, we will be moving the source repository and documentation to JasperSoft's new Forge, jasperforge.org, where JasperReports, iReport and JasperIntelligence will live.

Source Code Build Document Added

2006-05-05 17:00

The JasperServer source code is in subversion and has been available for checkout for a few days. On the Documentation page of the http://jasperintel.sourceforge.net home page there is a new link "Source Code Build Guide" which is an html version of this document. In addition, there is a PDF version available for online viewing or download.

RE: Source Code Build Document Added

2006-05-08 23:36

a couple of things you might want to fix:

1. the "create database x" commands are missing the ';' at the end of the line

2. there is no FoodMart-MySQL-032006.sql in the scripts directory (at least not that I can see). perhaps this isn't yet in the public SVN?

By: Jeffrey Fredrick - jfredrick

RE: Source Code Build Document Added

2006-05-09 01:01

oh, and

3. under "Build JasperServer Source Code" you reference a couple of directories that I don't see locally, "jasperserver-repository-hibernate/build-db" and "jasperserver-unit-test".

By: Sherman Wood - sgwood

RE: Source Code Build Document Added

2006-05-09 12:03

Sorry - these instructions include changes we have made to the build process internally and have not released to SourceForge SVN yet. In the next release, the default top level "mvn clean install" will just build, not build the DB and run the test suite. Also the Foodmart database is part of the test suite for the OLAP functionality we are working on.
