JasperReports is an open source - Java -Berichtswerkzeug developed by Jaspersoft, with which one of Java programs reports as PDF , HTML , Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel , TXT , RTF , ODT , CSV and XML export, display them on the screen or can print.

Functionality

JasperReports can be used to create reports in Java programs with data from one or more data sources. These sources include the following: Databases via JDBC or Hibernate , Enterprise JavaBeans via EJBQL , JavaBeans , XML and CSV files. Further data sources can be added to the JasperReports Framework via so-called JRQueryExecuter . For example B. an extension that adds Oracle PL / SQL Stored Procedures as a data source.

JasperReports' reports can present the data in textual tabular form, but also generate diagrams from it. These diagrams generated using JFreeChart support various diagram layouts such as B. Pie , bar , column or bubble charts .

With so-called scriptlets, which can be executed in Java or Groovy , the execution of the report can be extended with its own functions. In addition, these scriptlets can react to events from the JasperEngine. It is possible to react to page, group or line changes.

history

The development of JasperReports was started by Teodor Danciu in June 2001, the Sourceforge project was founded in September of the same year and the first version (0.1.5) was published on November 3, 2001, version 1.0 on July 21, 2005.

Jaspersoft emerged from Panscopic, which was founded by Al Campa (CEO) and Raj Bhargava (VP) in 2001. In 2004, Panscopic acquired all rights to JasperReports and renamed itself Jaspersoft. Jaspersoft sells commercial software related to JasperReports and also sells JasperReports to customers who want to combine it with a non-open source product.

On April 28, 2014, TIBCO announced that they had acquired Jaspersoft for approximately $ 185 million dollars.

JRXML

The reports are in a JRXML called XML stored format and must, before carrying in .jasper files compiled are. The report itself does not contain any data sources; these are transferred to the report engine at runtime. Only the query method, e.g. B. SQL statements are also saved. At runtime, the query method is then applied to the transferred data source, the result is rendered and brought into the desired view.

Tools

There are various programs that make it easier to use the reports:

DynamicReports
Open source Java API reporting library
iReport Designer
Software for editing reports with a graphical interface, published by Jaspersoft under the GPL . The program is also available as an Eclipse plug-in and as a plug-in for NetBeans . Has not been further developed since 2013 and no longer serviced since 2015. Jaspersoft Studio is the successor product.
