View the properties of the field element you want to have a hyperlink on. You will see a Hyperlink tab. In that tab,choose Reference from the Hyperlink Type pull down. Then type your URL in the Hyperlink Reference Expression box. e.g. "http://www.google.com" You can also reference a variable or parameter in the expression box to dynamically create your URL.

Thanks for the response Rick.....I have done it like you explained and when I move my cursor over the hyperlink item it displays the name of the link but nothing happens when I click on the link.....Could there be some other settings I should check??

I've found that the JRViewer previewer in I-reports behaves just as you've described. Try selecting the PDF viewer from the Build menu to see if that helps. Otherwise, I am at a loss to help you.

Having same problem, according to documentation, the default JRViewer does not know how to deal with external hyperlinks and you have to implement them yourselves in the JRHyperlinklistener interface.

Not quite sure how, if anyone figures it out then please let us know.

[zgibek]

well, the simplest is:

 

Code:

viewer.addHyperlinkListener( new JRHyperlinkListener() {
   public void gotoHyperlink(JRPrintHyperlink jrPrintHyperlink) throws JRException {
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hyperlink: "+jrPrintHyperlink.getHyperlinkReference());
   }
});

 

But this is a sample of course and does nothing more then registering the listener and shows how to use it.

 

In real solution you should open a browser, make a redirect or anything you want.

 

The problem (for me) is that the mouse does not change to "hand" in my application. It works only in JasperDesignViewer :(
