Datasources in iReportDatasource Implementation Class

JDBC net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRResultSetDataSource

JavaBean net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanCollectionDataSource, net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanArrayDataSource

Map-based net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRMapArrayDataSource, net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRMapCollectionDataSource

TableModel net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRTableModelDataSource

Grouping in Reports

Importance of Evaluation Time in ReportsTypes of Evaluation Time

1.None2.Report3.Group4.Column5.Page6.Now 7.Band8.Auto

Charts

Tools can be used to create charts in Jasper Reports

Inbuilt Chart item in Palette of iReport / JasperSoft Studio

Custom Charts using JFreeCharts (will be taken up in the next seminar)

Sub-report

Utility of using subreport:

1.Implements Report in Report Structure

2.Provides full structure of the subreport

3.Pass and Return values to provide dynamism to the main report

Lists

Lists Vs Sub Report

Advantages of using List:

1.No Extra resources

2.In Report calculation

Advantages of using Subreport

1.Pass and Return values to provide dynamism to the main report

2.Acts as completely new report with all the features of a individual report, like having title, header, footer, etc.

Scriptlet

How Scriptlets can be utilized.

Field Manipulation

Variable Manipulation

Report Data Manipulation

Integration with Java Foundation Components, such as SWING etc.

How to achieve customization using Scriptlets User Defined Functions

Predefined functions

Pre- Defined Functions

beforeReportInit()

afterReportInit()

beforePageInit()

afterPageInit()

beforeColumnInit()

afterColumnInit()

beforeGroupInit(String)

afterGroupInit(String groupName)

beforeDetailEval()

afterDetailEval()

User Defined Functions

Styles in Jasper Reports

How to include Styles in Jasper Reports

1. Creating Styles in the Report itself (More like local Style sheet)

2. Creating External jrtx File which could be linked with any Report (More like a global Style)
