Teodord, I've submitted a RFE, hope that other users who need this feature will vote up for it.

@ nsdansatt I don't think making font bigger would help since the size of generated report stays the same just with bigger font, not much of a help in my case. @ teodord that would be a thing that could help all of us who need reports exported to html for viewing purposes, everything else we're trying is just a workaround and not a solution (at the moment I'm trying to implement zoom feature in my container with css, going crazy), just as nsdansatt said the way the jasperreports generates html at the moment is not usable the way we need it. What needs to be done to start working on this feature, where should I send a request. I would really like to see this feature implemented in future versions of jasperreports. Thank you both for your answers,Tomislav.

Hi, looking forward to next release. Anyways I'll try to play with flash viewer and add export functionality, I'll share my thoughts here if I succeed.

Hi Teodord, thanks on your time and answers. Sorry if I was unclear when using word compile. I'm not compiling .jrxml files everytime user runs a report, I'm doing this only if .jrxml has changed. Anyways I have all .jrxml and .jasper files on server so users can dowload .jrxml files, change and upload them again, and in that moment if source .jrxml is different from the uploaded .jrxml I'm compiling a new version of .jasper file. Regarding JRHtmlExporterParameter.SIZE_UNIT I never did manage to make use of this parameter, nor did it help me to make reports look bigger in my web app. I'll try to figure out what I was doing wrong and how it works. When you say I could use a pdf viewer I guess you're thinking on embeded pdf viewer in ffox or ie, haven't tried that but I think speed could be an issue with this one and especially if users have ability to drill down, I have to try this ot be sure but also browsers mem usage is my biggest concern, I'll try it out and post the results. I was aware of flash viewer project home, but there was no news or any modifications for a long time, and now I can see you've uploaded 3.7 version couple hours ago, thanks for that. I think flash viewer has lots of potential because it takes jasper print from session, and shows the report correctly with options to zoom and pagination which is great, but the best thing is it can easilly be modified so it has buttons for export to pdf, excel, which are nothing more but links to servlet with params to tell what kind of export I want, and connection to jasper print in session. I haven't done that but I'm thinking of doing that. It would be great to have some kind of container for reports to show in web apps like it's done in swing, and flash viewer in my opinion is the closest thing available at this moment. Is there a plan to develop some additional fetures in flash viewer or is it just for a testing purpose? Thanks again, Teodord.

tnx, I am using JRXlsExporter, I'll try with JExcelApiExporter as you suggested. tnx again on your help.

Hi, can someone help me or at least give me guide lines with my problem. I have developed a web app which is used to compile, generate and show reports which were made in bi publisher and ireports. If users want to print report they will export it to pdf, and if they just want to view it I'll show it to them in html format. I have no problems with bi publisher since export to html looks okay for viewing, but in jasperreports output to html is just too small, I know it is done because it can be printed, but it not as usefull as my users want it to be. So I found flash viewer which looks good but seems like it's not under development anymore (I've made it work and I'm still testing it), and then I've found xViewer which seems to be what I need but I cannot make it work, there's no documentation or tutorial anywhere, so I'm stuck. Does anyone know something more about xViewer, what needs to be done to make it work? Also is there a way to make html output bigger (zoomed) or something like this I'm sure I'm not the only one who's trying to do this. Thanks in advance, Tomislav.

That's working for html and pdf, but not for excel, do you know how to achieve same for excel, tnx in advance, Tomislav

Hi, is it possible to show hyperlinks in excel? when I'm using output to html or pdf everything is working fine i can click on hyperlink and drill down, but in excel hyperlink is not generated. What needs to be done so I can have hyperlinks in excel. Thanks in advance, Tomislav.

Hi, just a quick question, in my application I'm generating reports and user can select html, pdf, rtf and xls as output. When user selects HTML everything is displayed correctly except for barcode which is not displayed at all. In pdf, rtf & xls barcode is displayed correctly. So I'm just wondering is there something I should do, I'm using imageservlet to display images and it works okay. Should I place barbecue jar somewhere in java runtime lib or is there something I'm missing. Please help, any suggestions are welcome, thanks in advance Tomislav.

Hi mdahlman, thanks for your time. The problem was in ojdbc14.jar which I downloaded from oracle site. So I copied ojdbc14.jar from iReport 2.0.4 installation directory and put it in classpath of iReport 3.6 and now everything works fine. Again thanks on your help and time.

Hi, please I need help regarding iReport 3.6. I've downloaded dmg version for mac. Installed successfully, and now I'm trying to create db connection to oracle 10g db but no matter what I do I get ClassNotFoundError! I've downloaded ojdbc14.jar and as I found in thread on this forum I've added this jar using Preferences -> iReport -> Classpath so it looks like /Users/Admin/lib/ojdbc14.jar I also tried to add jar directly in folder ireport/ide8/modules/lib but that didn't help... I'm using JDeveloper 10g and need iReport to create reports for my app, and I've been using iReport 2.0.4 without any problems but that version had integrated drivers. What else should I try or do to make this work, any suggestions are welcome... Again please help, thanks in advance Tomislav.
