Jasper applet viewer

I folks,

I have followed this conversation http://forum.springframework.org/vie...ghlight=jasper to some time, and would like to contribute of any form.

I tired to try to understand because the JasperReports present different layouts when presenting reports in HTML for different browsers. I tried to use the Acrobat Reader to facilitate this, but many customers had not liked the idea and at some moments the report was not presented. Then I saw that the version 0.6.4 I could use an applet to present the report.

I studed the idea and see that the applet needed a JasperPrint serialized in the reponse stream and the Spring solution at the moment don't support it.

Finally I make an public class JasperReportsPrintView extends AbstractJasperReportsSingleFormatView to solve this, and I would like to share the idea with yours.

Code:

---

package ...presentation.web.support.springframework;

import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRAbstractExporter;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRDataSource;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport;

import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jasperreports.AbstractJasperReportsSingleFormatView;

public class JasperReportsPrintView extends
                AbstractJasperReportsSingleFormatView {

        /**
        * Default Constructor
        */
        public JasperReportsPrintView() {
                setContentType("application/octet-stream");
        }

        /**
        * Perform rendering for a single Jasper Reports exporter,
        * i.e. a pre-defined output format.
        */
        protected void renderReport(
                        JasperReport report, Map parameters, JRDataSource dataSource, HttpServletResponse response)
                        throws Exception {

                JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, parameters, dataSource);

                ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
                       
                ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(ouputStream);
                oos.writeObject(jasperPrint);
                oos.flush();
                oos.close();

                ouputStream.flush();
                ouputStream.close();
        }

        /**
        * @see org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jasperreports.AbstractJasperReportsSingleFormatView#createExporter()
        */
        protected JRAbstractExporter createExporter() {
                return null;
        }

        /**
        * @see org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jasperreports.AbstractJasperReportsSingleFormatView#useWriter()
        */
        protected boolean useWriter() {
                return false;
        }

}

1) The applet make the /site/report.jasper request;
2) The ReportController handle the request
3) The JasperReportsPrintView intercepts, compile and return the JasperPrint object to the applet

TIA

I've added a JIRA issue for this and targeted it for inclusion in Spring 1.2

Rob

:( when i type the test.japser request in ie.i meet a mistake
the infomation is
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'report' defined in null: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException: Could not instantiate class [com.JasperReportsPrintView]; constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method net.sf.jasperreports.engine.design.JRDefaultCompil er.<init>()V from class org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jasperreports .AbstractJasperReportsView
org.springframework.beans.factory.support.Abstract AutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBean(AbstractAuto wireCapableBeanFactory.java:370)

would i copy someothers jars to lib?
i user the jasperreport-1.0.1.jar
thanks for your help

Probably you are using an incompatible jar version - try using the jasperreports jar from the Spring distribution.

i have a similar problem.
i am trying to include jasperreports into a spring application. I define a controller that is supposed to generate a pdf-view of some database data. in the dispatcher-servlet i declare a beanNameViewResolver and a JasperReportsPdfView:

<bean id="jasperViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.BeanNa meViewResolver">
<property name="order" value="0"/>
</bean>

<bean id="pdfLayout" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jasper reports.JasperReportsPdfView">
<property name="url" value="/WEB-INF/fileadmin_report.jrxml"/>
</bean>


they cooperate with a BaseCommandController:

...
// methods
protected ModelAndView handleRequestInternal(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

List listOfFolders = folderDao.showFolderList();
Map model = new HashMap();
model.put("dataSource", new JRBeanCollectionDataSource (listOfFolders));
return new ModelAndView(viewName, model);
}

I can deploy the application to a Tomcat but when trying to start it I get the error message:

exception
