jasperviewer closes my application!

[sharwood]

When i close the jasperviewer report that is opened up, my main application window is closed at the same time. Is there anyway to stop this.

Also, i have chosen adobe as my external pdf reader, id there anyway to use adobe to view these, rather than the jasper viewer?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

in the constructor of JasperViewer there is boolean indicating whehter it should perform an exit on close.

 

With the viewer you can't view pdf files, you just view the jasper reports. To view pdf files you probably need to use something like JDIC or get a (commercial and most of the times pretty expensive) java implementation of a pdf viewer. There used to be a nice java-com bridge available (njawin) which is now commercially available (http://www.javain.com).

 

kind regards,

Christiaan

Hey, thanks for your help, but i still cant figure it out. I can see the constructer takes a boolean, so I tried:

 

JasperViewer jv = new JasperViewer(jasperPrint, false);

 

but it still closes...

I tried "true" aswell

 

Help would be much appreciated.

try this..hehe...hope it helps

 

jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport( "reportloh.jrxml");

jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport( jasperReport, parameters, conn);

JasperViewer jv = new JasperViewer( jasperPrint, false );

jv.viewReport( jasperPrint, false );

 

dont know why the viewReport need to specify the jasperPrinter and booolean again...hehe....but this is the way...hehe...:P

viewReport(JasperPrint, boolean) is a static method of JasperViewer, therefore doing jv.viewReport(..) doesn't make sense and the JasperViewer instance you create is useless. What you should do is JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint, false).

 

HTH,

Absolutely beautiful. Don't know if this is a quick fix or the actual preferred method, but its working wonders with my app (final project prototype). Thanks again!

Have been looking for this solution for hours. Worked well for me. Thank you for your valued contribution. Shane

Or you can use:

 

JasperViewer jasperViewer = new JasperViewer(jasperPrint, false);

jasperViewer.setVisible(true);
