Overview

JasperReports Library

Teodor Danciu started library in 2001, he needed to show data from his application and export this data to different formats. He made it open source and published on sourceforge.net and it become popular.

http://sourceforge.net


Overview

What interactive reports are?

• Static reports just show data

• Interactive reports allow user to sort data, change column order, change chart type, change formatting.

• Interactivity is possible in HTML format, standard for UI today


Overview

What analytics are?

Users always want more. They don’t want to create templates, they want to explore data and find answers from their data in an easy and fast way. To do this we have AdHoc reporting “analytics”, a web server application with web ui where you can build a report while exploring and discovering your data.


Overview

What tools we provide?

JasperReports library we’ll help you with static reporting and interactive reports. We have a tool called Jaspersoft Studio that will help you write report templates. Jaspersoft Server will organise work of multiple users, will give them possibility to share reports, to run reports on a regular bases, to build adhoc reports and dashboards. Jaspersoft Server provide a REST and JavaScript APIs for developers, so it’s easy to use it from other applications or embed directly into a webpage. We provide also documentation, tutorials, forum, bugzilla, issue tracker and support.

How to use it? Basic example

Connection c = … ;// create SQL Connection

JasperDesign jasperDesign = JRXmlLoader.load(“/home/template.jrxml”);

JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jasperDesign);

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, new HashMap(), c);

JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, “/home/report.pdf");
