Jaspersoft Cassandra Connector
Important Update: This Wiki page support an older connector (v0.5.1). For the latest connector information please go here.
The Jaspersoft Cassandra Connector works with iReport, JasperReports, and JasperReports Server. There are separate pages explaining how to configure iReport and JasperReports Server.
Target Audience
Users who want to integrate Jaspersoft's JasperReports Server with Cassandra. This document assumes that the user already has familiarity with Cassandra and already has data in a Cassandra database.
Background
JasperReports Server does not ship with built-in connectors to Cassandra. These resources are provided here on JasperForge.org in order to enable JasperReports Server to access Cassandra data. They are currently in a pre-release format. They are therefore not yet supported by Jaspersoft Technical Support.
The source is available for download for anyone that wants to modify or to view it. The connector is released under the AGPL license.
