1. Project Samples | top |
|
| The JasperReports entire project tree containing this documentation and the library source files, comes also with several demo applications that are easy to run and test using the ANT build tool. |
|
| The project is available for download at SOURCEFORGE.NET. |
|
| The samples can be found in the demo/samples directory of the project. Some of them use data from the HSQL default database that is also supplied in the demo/hsqldb directory of the project. |
|
| All the XML report designs are validated against a DTD file which is internal to the library jasperreports.jar . |
|
| Details about the structure of an XML report design and the use of different elements are available in the Quick Reference document. |
|
| Here is a copy of the actual DTD file: jasperreport.dtd |
|
| For a quick review of the JasperReports library features, we present here some of those sample reports. |
|
| Data Source Sample |
| When generating reports, JasperReports can make use of various kinds of data, as long as the parent application provides a custom implementation of the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRDataSource interface that will allow it to retrieve that data. The library comes with a default implementation of this interface that wraps a java.sql.ResultSet object and lets people use JDBC data sources seamlessly. |

|
| Barbecue Sample |
| Sample that shows how to include barcodes inside reports using the Barbecue open source library. |

|
| Fonts Sample |
| Text formatting features are very important in document generating software and JasperReports offers a complete range of font settings: size, style, text alignment, color, etc. |
| FontsReport.jrxml >> FontsReport.pdf >> FontsReport.html |
|
| Horizontal Sample |
| The engine can fill multi-column reports either vertically (from top to bottom) or horizontally (from left to right), depending on the "printOrder" attribute specified in the report design. Here's a sample showing the detail section being generated horizontally. |
| HorizontalReport.jrxml >> HorizontalReport.pdf >> HorizontalReport.html |
|
| Hyperlink Sample |
| This sample illustrates the use of hyperlink elements. They allow the creation of drill-down repots and generally speaking offer a higher degree of interaction with the document viewers. |
| HyperlinkReport.jrxml >> HyperlinkReport.pdf >> HyperlinkReport.html |
|
| I18n Sample |
| The library has built-in support for generating documents in different languages. |
| I18nReport.jrxml >> I18nReport.pdf >> I18nReport.html |
|
| Images Sample |
| In this sample, users will learn how to use image elements in their reports. |
| ImagesReport.jrxml >> ImagesReport.pdf >> ImagesReport.html |
|
| Jasper Sample |
| This is the most complex sample provided with the package. It explains how to use data grouping and more complex element formatting. |
| FirstJasper.jrxml >> FirstJasper.pdf >> FirstJasper.html |
|
| JFreeChart Sample |
| This sample shows how you can include graphics and charts into your reports. The JasperReports library does not produce graphics and charts itself, but allows the use of other specialized libraries and easily integrates this type of elements into the documents it generates. |
| JFreeChartReport.jrxml >> JFreeChartReport.pdf >> JFreeChartReport.html |
|
| Landscape Sample |
| Shows how to set up a report in "Landscape" format. |
| LandscapeReport.jrxml >> LandscapeReport.pdf >> LandscapeReport.html |
|
| Scriptlet Sample |
| Scriptlets are a very flexible feature of the JasperReports library and can be used in many situations to manipulate the report data during the report filling process. |
| ScriptletReport.jrxml >> ScriptletReport.pdf >> ScriptletReport.html |
|
| Shapes Sample |
| Shows how different graphic elements such as lines and rectangles can be used in the documents. |
| ShapesReport.jrxml >> ShapesReport.pdf >> ShapesReport.html |
|
| Stretch Sample |
| This is a special sample with debug purposes. It shows how the text fields behave when they stretch downwards in order to acquire their entire content. Element stretching and page overflow mechanisms are very sensitive aspects of report generating tools. |
| StretchReport.jrxml >> StretchReport.pdf >> StretchReport.html |
|
| Styled Text Sample |
| The text elements can contain style information introduced using an XML syntax based on nested <styled> tags. |
| StyledTextReport.jrxml >> StyledTextReport.pdf >> StyledTextReport.html |
|
| Subreport Sample |
| Illustrates how subreports might be used in more complex reports. |
| MasterReport.jrxml >> MasterReport.pdf >> MasterReport.html |
|
| Table of Contents Sample |
| Some reports may require the creation of a "table of contents" structure, either at the beginning of the document or at the end. Here is a simple example for those who want to learn how to create such structures. |
| TableOfContentsReport.jrxml >> TableOfContentsReport.pdf >> TableOfContentsReport.html |
|
| Unicode Sample |
| JasperReports can generate documents in any language. This is a simple example that shows how font and text encoding settings should be used. |
