Exporting into .RTF file

[frafel]

Hi!

 

I am starting to use jasperreport engine (using iReport as painter) and I enjoied to see how it work. I created a first simple report using a query to my DB and I produced easily a .PDF and also a .HTML output.

 

But I am interested to obtain a .RTF file and I was unable to realize it because I don't found an appropriate method in the JasperExportManager class; I have seen that there is an astract class (JRRtfExporter) and probably I need to extend that class to solve my need, but unfortunately I am novice in Java and I am not yet able to do this job; so can anyone suggest a snipped of code or a place where I

can find it to obtain what I need? Or alternatively what I must study to produce my first .RTF file with the report?

 

Thank very much. Franco in Italy

Try using JRRtfExporter and it's exportReport() method. Just be sure you have recent enough version of JasperReports.

it is something like this:

 

Code:

exporter = new JRRtfExporter();
exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, jasperPrint);
exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.OUTPUT_FILE_NAME,  "Report.rtf"«»);		    		   
exporter.exportReport();

 

this also works for xls, csv, txt and xml similar... if you use this way also for pdf or html, there exists some specific parameter, you can set.... for example:

Code:

[code] exporter.setParameter(JRCsvExporterParameter.FIELD_DELIMITER, ";"«»); exporter.setParameter(JRCsvExporterParameter.RECORD_DELIMITER, "n"«»);

the field and record delimiter for the csv file...

 

have fun !
