Connections to several databases

Hi !!

I would to know if JasperReport can connect to several databases in the same time to export a report with data of 3 databases for example.

 

Thanks in advance.

it can be done with CustomDataSources that you must provide/fill BEFORE you fill the report actually.

With a connection it's not possible (AFAIK).

 

So you could easily fill the first CustomDataSource from DataBase 1 and the second CustomDataSource from DataBase 2 and so on. In your report you pass all these datasources via parameter when filling ... in your design you can access/connect them via SubReports for example.
