Yesterday i saw the next snip example. Maybe this give you a hint. Let me know your result. I will try it also.

 

<%@ page language="java" %>

<%@ page import="dori.jasper.engine.*" %>

<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>

<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>

<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>

<%

 

DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());

String url = "some-url";

String userName = "username";

String password = "password";

 

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);

 

File reportFile = new File(application.getRealPath("/reports/Demo.jasper"));

 

Map parameters = new HashMap();

 

byte[] bytes =

JasperRunManager.runReportToPdf(

reportFile.getPath(),

parameters,

conn

);

 

 

response.setContentLength(bytes.length);

ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();

ouputStream.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);

ouputStream.flush();

ouputStream.close();

 

%>
