Jasper Reports, IReports and JBuilder

2005-04-03 04:59

I have just built my first application were the user enters information through a GUI and the data is stored in an Oracle database. I need to produce reports on this data. I have decided to use Jasper reports and IReports to help me do this. I am using JBuilder, do the two reports applications work well with it? Does anyone out there know how to configure these applications into JBuilder?

 

Thanks in advance.

Just put the JasperReports JAR-Archive to you project-settings (needed libraries) ... that's all.

 

The designer (IReport) is a standalone application that is just for designing the JasperReports. I would advice you, to design your reports within iReport... store them in database and call them from the database back within your application with the standard Jasper methods (load, (compile --> if needed you can also store the compiled reports in database) and fill) ... you will get a JasperPrint object that can be viewed within the JasperViewer or exported to PDF/HTML/JRPXML.... or directly to the printer.
