REPORTING
I USE ADF, WHAT ABOUT REPORTS ?
ORACLE REPORTS DEVELOPER
CREATING ORACLE REPORTS
• Example:
– Employees per Department Report
– Parameter P_DEPARTMENT_ID
HOW TO CALL THE REPORT ?
USING ORACLE REPORTS
• Use Case : Invoke the report for the currently selected
Department in an ADF table
PREPARING THE CALL
• Create a bean and method to invoke the report
• Provide report parameters
String oraReportServerUrl = "http://192.168.2.8:8889/reports/rwservlet?";
String reportNameParam ="report=";
String reportDestypeParam = "destype=";
String reportPDesformatParam = "desformat=";
String reportUseridParam = "userid=“;
<managed-bean id="__13">
<managed-bean-name id="__14">oracleReportBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class id="__15">
com.blogspot.lucbors.reporting.view.orarep.OracleReportBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope id="__16">request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
CONSTRUCTING THE CALL
• Construct Report Server URL; Including the parameters public void runOracleReport(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
String departmentParam = "p_department_id=";
StringBuffer totalCallUrl = new StringBuffer();
totalCallUrl.append(getOraReportServerUrl());
totalCallUrl.append(getReportNameParam().concat("employees.rdf")+"&");
totalCallUrl.append(getReportDestypeParam().concat("cache")+"&");
totalCallUrl.append(getReportPDesformatParam().concat("html")+"&");
totalCallUrl.append(getReportUseridParam().concat("hr/hr@xe")+"&");
totalCallUrl.append(departmentParam.concat(getDepartmentId()));
setOraReportUrl(totalCallUrl.toString());
}
public String getDepartmentId() {
DCIteratorBinding it = ADFUtils.findIterator("SalaryOverview1Iterator");
oracle.jbo.domain.Number deptId =
(oracle.jbo.domain.Number)it.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("DepartmentId");
return deptId.toString();
}
CALL AND SHOW THE REPORT
• Call ………
• ……. And Show the report
<af:popup id="showOraRpt" animate="default">
<af:panelWindow id="pw3" modal="true"
title="External Internet Info in a Modal Popup"
contentHeight="625" contentWidth="700" resize="on">
<af:inlineFrame id="if3" shortDesc="This is an inline frame"
source="#{oracleReportBean.oraReportUrl}"
styleClass="AFStretchWidth"
inlineStyle="height:600px;">
</af:inlineFrame>
</af:panelWindow>
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Run Oracle Report" id="cb3“
actionListener="#{oracleReportBean.runOracleReport}">
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId=":::showOraRpt" triggerType="click"/>
</af:commandToolbarButton>
SHOWING THE ORACLE REPORT
• ….. and the result…..
CAN I USE FMW REPORTING TOOLS ?
ORACLE BI PUBLISHER
ORACLE BI PUBLISHER
ORACLE BI PUBLISHER
ORACLE BI PUBLISHER
PREPARING THE CALL
• Create a bean and method to invoke the report
• Provide report parameters
private static final String RAPPORT_SERVER_HOST_PARAM =
"http://192.168.56.101:7001/xmlpserver/~weblogic/";
private static final String RAPPORT_GENERAL_USER_PARAM = "<UN>";
private static final String RAPPORT_GENERAL_PASSWORD_PARAM = "<PW>";
<managed-bean id="__13">
<managed-bean-name id="__14">biPublisherBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class id="__15">
com.blogspot.lucbors.reporting.view.orarep.BiPublisherBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope id="__16">request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
CONSTRUCTING THE CALL
• Construct Report Server URL; Including the parameters
public void startBiReport(ActionEvent event)
{
StringBuffer reportUrl = new StringBuffer();
reportUrl.append(getRapportServerHost());
reportUrl.append("/"+"EmployeesPerDepartment"+".xdo");
// add standard params
addStandardParams(rapport,reportUrl);
// add report-specific params
addReportParams(rapport, reportUrl);
sLog.fine("Rapport start URL: "+reportUrl);
setReportUrl(reportUrl.toString());
……..
CALL AND SHOW THE REPORT
• Call ………
• ……. And Show the report
<af:popup id="showBiRpt" animate="default">
<af:panelWindow id="pw3" modal="true"
title="External Internet Info in a Modal Popup"
contentHeight="625" contentWidth="700" resize="on">
<af:inlineFrame id="if3" shortDesc="This is an inline frame"
source="#{<…BI report source>}"
styleClass="AFStretchWidth"
inlineStyle="height:600px;">
</af:inlineFrame>
</af:panelWindow>
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Run BI Publisher Report" id="cb3“
actionListener="#{oracleReportBean.startBiReport}">
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId=":::showBiRpt" triggerType="click"/>
</af:commandToolbarButton>
SHOWING THE BI PUBLISHER REPORT
ARE THERE OPEN SOURCE TOOLS ?
JASPER REPORTS
JASPER REPORTS - IREPORT
JASPER REPORT QUERY
CREATING JASPER REPORTS
• Jasper iReport as design tool
– Select a report template
– Create a new report based on a query
– Add parameters
– Test report in iReport
PREPARING JDEVELOPER AND ADF
• Make sure to add Jasper libraries to ADF project
PREPARING THE CALL
• Create a bean and method to invoke the report
<managed-bean id="__13">
<managed-bean-name id="__14">jasperReportBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class id="__15">
com.blogspot.lucbors.reporting.view.orarep.JasperReportBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope id="__16">request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
CALLING THE JASPER REPORT
• How to invoke the Jasper report ?
– Get a handle to your template
– Define the file that will hold the generated report
– Optionally fill parameters
InputStream is = new FileInputStream (
new File("C:/ReportingTools/myReports/MyFirstReport.jrxml"));
OutputStream os=new FileOutputStream(
new File(this.filepath+this.reportname));
Map parameters = new HashMap();
parameters.put("P_DEPARTMENT_ID", getDepartmentId());
CALL AND SHOW THE REPORT
• Call ………
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Run Oracle Report" id="cb3“
actionListener="#{oracleReportBean.runOracleReport}">
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId=":::showOraRpt" triggerType="click"/>
</af:commandToolbarButton>
JASPER REPORTING
• Invoke the report ………
• ……. And Show the result
JasperDesign jasperDesign = JRXmlLoader.load(is);
JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jasperDesign);
JasperPrint jasperPrint =
JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, conn);
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(jasperPrint, os);
JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint, false);
JASPER REPORTING
• ….. And the result….
I DONT WANT MY OWN REPORTSERVER
REPORTING FROM THE CLOUD
DOCMOSIS REPORTING
CREATING TEMPLATES
UPLOAD TO THE CLOUD
CALLING THE CLOUD FROM ADF
• Setup a connection
• Build the request
• Write request to outputstream
PREPARING THE CALL
• Create a bean and method to invoke the report
• Provide report parameters
private static final String DWS_RENDER_URL =
"https://dws.docmosis.com/services/rs/render";
private static final String ACCESS_KEY = “<your acces key>";
private static final String OUTPUT_FORMAT = "pdf";
private static final String OUTPUT_FILE = "myWelcome." + OUTPUT_FORMAT;
<managed-bean id="__13">
<managed-bean-name id="__14">docmosisReportBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class id="__15">
com.blogspot.lucbors.reporting.view.docmosis.DocmosisReportBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope id="__16">request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
CONSTRUCTING THE CALL
• Construct Report Server URL; Including the parameters
private static String buildRequestForEmployee() {
// the name of the template in our cloud account we want to use
String templateName = "/KScopeDemoTemplate.doc";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
// Start building the instruction
sb.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");
sb.append("<render \n");
sb.append("accessKey=\"").append(ACCESS_KEY).append("\" ");
sb.append("templateName=\"").append(templateName).append("\" ");
sb.append("outputName=\"").append(OUTPUT_FILE).append("\">\n");
CONSTRUCTING THE CALL
• Adding the Data
// now add the data specifically for this template
sb.append("<data\n");
sb.append(" date=\"").append(new Date()).append("\"\n");
sb.append(" title=\"Creating documents with Docmosis from ADF \">\n");
String[] messages = {
"Reporting from ADF Applications - What are the Options? John Flack",
"ADF Data Visualization Tips & Techniques. Chris Muir",
"How to Bring Common UI Patterns to ADF. Luc Bors",
"and many many more......"};
for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) {
sb.append("<suggestions msg=\"").append(messages[i]).append("\"/>\n");
}
sb.append("</data>\n");
sb.append("</render>\n");
CALL AND SHOW THE REPORT
• Call ………
• ……. And Show the report
<af:popup id="showDocmosisReport" animate="default">
<af:panelWindow id="pw2" modal="true" title="The report"
contentHeight="625" contentWidth="700" resize="on">
<af:inlineFrame id="if2" shortDesc="This is an inline frame“
source="/showpdfservlet?name=#{docmosisReportBean.docmosisreportname}"
styleClass="AFStretchWidth"
inlineStyle="height:600px;"></af:inlineFrame>
</af:panelWindow>
</af:popup>
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Run docmosis Report" id="cb5"
actionListener="#{docmosisReportBean.runDocmosisReport}">
<af:showPopupBehavior popupId=":::showDocmosisReport"
