how to create a .jasper file from .xml

2004-05-27 07:12

Hi,

inside my java code I'm able to create .xml file put it out in a dir, compile it and then and then view.

But I need to be able to create and write out .jasper class into a dir so I can save that file.

 

This is what I use to compile my .xml

JasperDesign jasperDesign = JasperManager.loadXmlDesign(reportFile.getAbsolutePath());

JasperReport jasperReport = JasperManager.compileReport(jasperDesign);

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

 

How can I generate .jasper file (not using iReport or something else like that)

So I guess you want to store the compiled report after you loaded and compiled it, isn't it?

 

 

So I'd do it...

 

 

File reportFile = new File("C:/test/testreport.xml"); //load Report into FileObject

 

String strJasperFileName = reportFile .getAbsolutePath().toLowerCase().replaceAll(".xml", ".jasper"); // build up the JasperFileName as String

 

JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(reportFile.getAbsolutePath());// compile the report from FileName

 

if (saveReportAsJasperFile(jasperReport ,strJasperFileName))

{

// do what you want after saving it

}

...

 

private boolean saveReportAsJasperFile(JasperReport pReport, String pDestFile){

boolean myBool = false;

try {

if (pReport != null) {

JRSaver.saveObject(pReport, pDestFile);

File myFile = new File(pDestFile);

if (myFile.exists()) {

myBool = true;

System.out.println("File '"+pDestFile+"' successfully saved!");

}

}

}

catch (Exception ex) {

System.out.println("Error in saving report to JasperFile:" + ex);

}

return myBool;

}

Thanks a lot, That's exactely what I needed. (as a temp solution I used JasperManager.compileReportToFile but did not want to compile twice)
