Dynamic Creation of Report Templates?

2003-11-10 16:08

Is there a way to automatically generate Jasper XML output for any arbitrary JDBC data or SQL statement that can be passed in? In other words, can some template be created in advance or be automatically generated so that Jasper will generate XML for the column structure of the resulting recordset, whatever its structure?

 

Ideally, the resulting XML would have a schema section that described the data from the data source [column names and char(size), numeric, date, etc.] followed by a data section with the actual data.

Is it possible to dynamically combine two templates (.jasper files)and send both of them to the browser

Hi,

 

It depends on how exactly you want to combine them.

But I suspect what you want to achieve can be done by putting the two reports together as subreports into a master report that combines them.

 

I hope this helps.
