Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static File	runCompiledReportToPDFFile(String compiledReportName, String frameworkName, Map parameters, net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRDataSource dataSource) It is important to use the JasperRunManager method called below and avoid the use of InputStream etc because by providing the file pathname of the report to the JasperRunManager, it will then look for images defined by String as filenames and paths relative to the file path of the report template itself.

Method Detail

runCompiledReportToPDFFile

public static File runCompiledReportToPDFFile(String compiledReportName,
                                              String frameworkName,
                                              Map parameters,
                                              net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRDataSource dataSource)

It is important to use the JasperRunManager method called below and avoid the use of InputStream etc because by providing the file pathname of the report to the JasperRunManager, it will then look for images defined by String as filenames and paths relative to the file path of the report template itself. Thus making it easy for us to implement report images by just dropping them into the Resources directory alongside the jasper report template.

Parameters:

compiledReportName -

frameworkName -

parameters -

dataSource -

Returns:

the completed report PDF file

toString

public static String toString(net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRField jrField)

Parameters:

jrField -

Returns:

something more useful than the built-in toString method for debugging
