Starting with JasperReports

My first days at AMIS I examined JasperReports (v. 0.6.3), an open source report-generating library. This tool is entirely written in Java and uses XML report templates to generate reports you can display on the screen, send to a printer, or save as a PDF document.

In order to fill a report with data, the report design (template) must be compiled first.
This compilation is performed by the compileReport() method exposed by the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager class.
Through compilation, the report design is loaded into a report design object that is then serialized and stored on disk (net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport). This serialized object is then used when the application wants to fill the specified report design with data. In fact, the compilation of a report design implies the compilation of all Java expressions defined in the XML file representing the report design. Various verifications are made at compilation time, to check the report design consistency. The result is a ready to fill report design that will be then used to generate documents on different sets of data.

In order to fill a report design, one can use the fillReport() method exposed by the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager class. This method takes as parameters:

the report design object, or a file representing the specified report design object, in a serialized form
a map of reportparameters
a JDBC connection to the database from where to retrieve the data to fill the report

The result is an object that represents the ready to print document (net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint) and can be stored onto the disk, in a serialized form, for later use, or can be delivered to the printer, to the screen or can be transformed into a PDF, HTML, XLS, CSV or XML document.
I’ve only tried the PDF transformation. The following code illustrates this:

package nl.amis.jasper.test;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.xml.JRXmlLoader;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperExportManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.design.JasperDesign;
import net.sf.jasperreports.view.JasperViewer;
import nl.amis.database.Database;

public class EmpDeptReport {

        public static void main(String[] args) {
//                 First, load JasperDesign from XML and compile it into JasperReport
                try {
                        JasperDesign jasperDesign = JRXmlLoader.load("EmpDeptReport.xml");
                        JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jasperDesign);

//                 Second, create a map of parameters to pass to the report.
                        Map parameters = new HashMap();
                        parameters.put("Title", "EmpDept JasperReport");

//                 Third, get a database connection
                         Connection conn = Database.getConnection();

//                 Fourth, create JasperPrint using fillReport() method
                        JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport,
                                           parameters, conn);

//                 You can use JasperPrint to create PDF
                        JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, "EmpDeptReport.pdf");

//                 Or to view report in the JasperViewer
                        JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint);
                } catch (JRException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (SQLException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
        }
}

To create a XML report template I’ve used OpenReports Designer (v. 1.10).
This is a tool that combines a visual report designer, an XML report definition editor, and report viewer into one interface to provide a complete integrated report development environment.

Starting with JasperReports OpenReports 1 10

The XML file EmpDeptReport.xml â€“ which can be downloaded below – is a template for a report which retrieves data from Oracleâ€™s Emp and Dept tables.
In the following I’ll explain the structure of this template. This structure is declared in a DTD file supplied with the JasperReports engine.

Every JasperReports XML template starts with with the following structure:

< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
< !DOCTYPE jasperReport PUBLIC "-//JasperReports//DTD Report Design//EN" "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jasperreport.dtd">
< jasperReport name="EmpDeptReport" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="842" columnWidth="555" leftMargin="20" rightMargin="20" topMargin="30" bottomMargin="30">

< /jasperReport>

Parameters are object references that are passed-in to the report filling operations (see EmpDeptReport class above).
Declaring a parameter in a report design is very simple and it requires specifying only its name and its class:

< parameter name=”Title” class=”java.lang.String”>
< /parameter>

When using a JDBC data source, one could pass a Connection object to the report filling operations (see also EmpDeptReport class) and specify the query in the report definition itself:

< queryString> < ![CDATA[select e.empno
                                       , e.ename
                                       , e.job
                                       , e.mgr
                                       , to_char(e.hiredate, 'dd-mm-yyyy') hiredate
                                       , e.sal
                                       , e.comm
                                       , e.deptno
                                       , d.dname
                                       , d.loc
                                  from emp e
                                  ,    dept d
                                  where e.deptno = d.deptno
                                  order by e.deptno]]> < /queryString>

Report fields represent the only way to map data from the data source into the report generating routines.
We can define the following field in our report design:

< field name="ENAME" class="java.lang.String">
< /field>

Expressions are a powerful feature of JasperReports. They can be used for declaring report variables that perform various calculations, for data grouping on the report, to specify report text fields content or to further customize the appearance of objects on the report.
Basically, all report expressions are Java expressions that can reference report fields and report variables.
In an XML report design there are several elements that define expressions: < variableExpression> , < initialValueExpression> , < groupExpression> , < printWhenExpression> , < imageExpression> and < textFieldExpression> .
In order to use a report field reference in an expression, the name of the field must be put between $F{ and } character sequences.

A Report variable is a special objects build on top of an expression. Variables can be used to simplify the report design by declaring only once an expression that is heavily used throughout the report design or to perform various calculations on the corresponding expressions.
Variables can perform built-in types of calculations on their corresponding expression values like: count, sum, average, lowest, highest, variance, etc.

A variable that performs the sum of the SAL field per department should be declared like this:

< variable name="SalSumDept" class="java.math.BigDecimal" resetType="Group" resetGroup="DeptGroup" calculation="Sum">
                < variableExpression> < ![CDATA[$F{SAL}]]> < /variableExpression>
< /variable>

As you can see a group DeptGroup is introduced.
Groups represent a flexible way to organize data on a report. When filling a report, the JasperReports engine test all the defined group expressions to see whether a group rupture has occurred and if so it introduces the corresponding < groupFooter> and < groupHeader> sections on the report:

< group name="DeptGroup">
        < groupExpression> < ![CDATA[$F{DEPTNO}]]> < /groupExpression>
        < groupHeader>

        < /groupHeader>
        < groupFooter>

        < /groupFooter>
< /group>

By the the way, I didn’t succeed in creating groupHeaders and groupFooters with OpenReports Designer (v. 1.10), so I did some copy-paste from another template.

The template’s remainder divides into six report sections:

title
pageHeader
columnHeader
detail
columnFooter
pageFooter
summary

Each report section, called a band, is given a height. Each band can include multiple staticText and textField elements, which are given a position, size, and value. Report parameters, fields, and variables are referenced using P${name}, F${name}, and V${name}, respectively.

For example, the following lines in the page footer section create a staticText and a textField containing the current page number. The page number’s value is set to the variable PAGE_NUMBER, defined internally by JasperReports and available to all reports:

< pageFooter>
        < band height="15">
                < staticText>
                        < reportElement positionType="Float" x="0" y="0" width="40"
                         height="15"/>
                        < textElement/>
                        < text> < ![CDATA[Page:]]> < /text>
                < /staticText>
                < textField>
                        < reportElement positionType="Float" x="40" y="0" width="100"
                          height="15"/>
                        < textElement/>
                        < textFieldExpression="java.lang.Integer"> < ![CDATA[$V{PAGE_NUMBER}]]
                  >
                        < /textFieldExpression>
                < /textField>
        < /band>
< /pageFooter>

Re: “URI was not reported to parser for entity [document]”

The reason is “gnujaxp.jar”. Nowadays it should be safe to remove it from the CLASSPATH This drove me crazy all afernoon… Who has the patience to read (I’m not among those) will notice the “gnu.xml.aelfred2…” in the stack trace:

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: URI was not reported to parser for entity [document]

Hi all.

I can’t to run JasperReport on WebSphere 5.0.X.
I made a servlet as follow:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;

import javax.servlet.Servlet;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperExportManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanCollectionDataSource;

public class Myservlet extends HttpServlet implements Servlet {

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {

ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream = response.getOutputStream();

File reportFile = new File(“d:/temp/report1.jrxml”);

List collection = new ArrayList();

collection.add(new Empregado(Integer.toString(1), Integer.toString(1)));

byte[] bytes = null;

try {
System.setProperty(“jasper.reports.compile.class.path”, getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath(“/WEB-INF/lib/jasperreports-1.2.0.jar”));

JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(new FileInputStream(reportFile));

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

bytes = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(jasperPrint);

response.setContentType(“application/pdf”);
response.setContentLength(bytes.length);

servletOutputStream.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);

servletOutputStream.flush();
servletOutputStream.close();

} catch (JRException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

}

}

The webapp “freeze” after I call that servlet and don’t report any error.
This happens in:

bytes = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(jasperPrint);

Does anybody help me?

Sorry for my poor english.

Hi dude!!!
You simply have to put newer version of common-digester.jar in your classpath or project classÂ´path.
This method only exists in this version.

Exception in thread “main”

Any suggestions ???
Paul March 7, 2006

I also had: Exception in thread â€œmainâ€? java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/di
gester/SetNestedPropertiesRule.

I was using jasperreports-1.1.1.jar but I reverted back to jasperreports-0.6.8.jar which seems to have solved this problem.

Hi, I keep getting:

Error: Error compiling report java source file : X:\WindTunnel\JasperReporter\EmpDeptReport.java
if I try & run the tutorial. I have the java file in a subfolder: X:\WindTunnel\src, but even if I copy the file in the required location, it doesn’t work. Gives me the same error AND deletes the file!!!

Any ideas?

Artis December 9, 2005

Hey, thanks for your site, so useful information.

I’m trying to work in the detail section of a jasper report. one of the fields that I’m pulling out of dataset is a java.util.Map. The value that I am trying to get at is an the object inside the map (let’s call it StudentName). I know I have pulled back the map correctly, but any variable I have that I try to initailize to the object comes up null. Any thoughts on how you could do this?
nasch December 7, 2005

Thanks much, especially to kRESTAURANT. Finally got a report working using no XML file for the design, like in the samples. As to soumak’s question, the report fillers take a Map of parameters. Put the parameter in there, and add the parameter to your report’s query string like this: $P!{paramName}
Baziek November 30, 2005

Hi,

some of you asked: Exception in thread â€œmainâ€? java.lang.InternalError: Canâ€™t connect to X11 window server using â€˜:0.0â€² as the value of the DISPLAY variable…

Try to start appserver with: -Djava.awt.headless=true

It should help.
soumak November 17, 2005

I have tried out all the variations they work otu fine. I have however not found anyway about how
I can take user input (from a jsp page) into the query string (in the Report query field) that retrives results from the database to display it in the
jasperreport.
If you can suggest me any other roundabout way of achieving this. I am a developer.

This was the good document to read and study
kRESTAURANT August 17, 2005

When you compile report design, you also need jdt-compiler.jar.
If the jar file is not included in the classpath, you will get
the misleading message:
package net.sf.jasperreports.engine does not exist
GoodBoy August 16, 2005

I’ve got this error when i try to run my java file
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/digester/Digester

at testing.xmltesting.main(xmltesting.java:61)

i was try to send the parameter to the report n my
coding is exactly as u are above..but when i try to load the xml file its came out
an error like i mention u above.

JasperDesign jdesign= JRXmlLoader.load(“c://kppReport.xml”);

mm..should i put the xml file to the specific location or i can put it anywhere
i this case i put it in c location.
netanel August 1, 2005

Hello!

you should put in your class file that try to generate the report:
System.setProperty(“jasper.reports.compile.class.path”,jasperjarfiledirectory);

because the jasper reports that compile the jasper file is relate to the path of execute or main jar of server instance
so it does not know to use the WEB-INF/lib directory…

nicos July 12, 2005

To solve the problem describe in the comment nÂ°15 (written by Beginner), you just have to set the property “jasper.reports.compile.class.path” with the path where the jasperreports lib is located (\WEB-INF\lib\jasperreports-0.6.8.jar for me).

e.g. :

System.setProperty(“jasper.reports.compile.class.path”, “\WEB-INF\lib\jasperreports-0.6.8.jar”);
JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(Configuration.getConfig(Configuration.TEMPLATE_JRXML));

hi!
i have a problem in adding space before the string in reports. i have 3 rows out of which first is the parent row and the other two are child rows. now i need to print the
child rows leaving some space from the starting. so that it looks like tree structure. so how can i do this.

thanks
anil.

I have my reports up and running, just one problem:
When I close my report my client running exits. Any idea why it does this or what I’ve missed along the way?
After I have my “jasperPrint”, I view my report using the following:

JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint);

this is fine I learnt from this how to generate reports. I was checking for how to convert the jasperprint object to XLS. I could not find any where an example to convert to XLS in a simple manner with the .jrxml file.could u pls mail to me immediately if u know
geoff May 27, 2005

I am having what appears to be a common problem with the jasper-jars on the java.class.path env variable. This only manifests from the appserver, my corresponding unit test works perfectly. This is consistant because Websphere (avoid it possible!) and I am assuming JBoss and other appservers as well, load stuff from $WEBAPP/WEB-INF/lib in their own class loaders, and consequently the jars don’t appear on the java.class.path system property. So when Jasper tries to compile it’s stuff using tools.jar, the class loader containing the Javac can’t see anything loaded by the web appclassloader. (This is my guess, by the way, not fact). When I added jasper to the $JRE/lib/ext, I got lots of other weird errors in other parts of the system, so this doesn’t seem to be an option. I would have problems with the network admins, even if it did work, because they might not OK the change to the core JRE (securinoia).

Point being: If there is an alternative way to get a compiled JasperReport object fromt an .jrxml report spec, I would love to know about it. It would save me alot of headaches.

Here are the errors I was getting from the compiler:

JavaGuy April 15, 2005

I have the same problem as beginner. I get the same errors when calling compileReport(String filename).
When i put the jar into the classpath (and see it using system.getProperty(“java.class.path”) it is there.
But, it wont even parse the report file because it now says it cannot find digester. When I put digester in there, JBoss wont even start up.
I am using JBoss 5, Eclipse 3, and JR 0.6.6. Any help would be great! Thanks much.
Jasper April 14, 2005

dear ‘beginner’ (post @ 8/4/2005 2:14 pm),
thanx for posting that big list of 100 all-so-different compilation-errors 😉
At first glance, it looks like you don’t have the JRFillField in your classpath.
Since this is only a compilation-error, please use an IDE like for example Eclipse. It will tell you immediately what’s wrong.
John Tharakan April 14, 2005

why do i get the class NoClassDefFoundError pointing to the line which contains the JasperDesign jasperDesign = JRXmlLoader.load(â€œEmpDeptReport.xmlâ€?);

Most of the problems in your comments are solved by adding the following jar’s to your classpath:

/jasperreports-0.6.x-project/jasperreports-0.6.x/dist/jasperreports-0.6.x.jar
/jasperreports-0.6.x-project/jasperreports-0.6.x/lib/itext-1.01.jar
/jasperreports-0.6.x-project/jasperreports-0.6.x/lib/commons-beanutils-1.5.jar
/jasperreports-0.6.x-project/jasperreports-0.6.x/lib/commons-collections-2.1.jar
/jasperreports-0.6.x-project/jasperreports-0.6.x/lib/commons-digester-1.3.jar
/jasperreports-0.6.x-project/jasperreports-0.6.x/lib/commons-logging-1.0.2.jar

Lots of succes,

Nice comment on Matt Raible’s weblog;see comment on http://www.raibledesigns.com/page/rd

Using JasperReports with AppFuse and Spring Category: Java

In Spring 1.1.3, support was added for using JasperReports with Spring MVC. Today, Gregory Beumer posted a nice overview of JasperReports. This inspired me to dig up Gilberto’s post on How to integrate JasperReports with AppFuse. If you’re looking for a reporting solution in your AppFuse-based application, and you’re using Spring MVC … enjoy! I plan on adding this to the wiki in the future, along with howtos for integrating JasperReports with Struts, WebWork, JSF and Tapestry. If you happen to know of tutorials for integrating JasperReports with these other frameworks, please let me know. January 20, 2005 08:12 AM MST Permalink
