Using JSPs to print page reports

JReport Server provides the following demo JSPs which enable you to print a page report without any view in the client side, and they are available in <install_root>\help\samples\JSPSamples\PrintReport.

• printDemo.jsp
  Provides frames to load printCustomerlist.jsp and printReport.jsp.
• printCustomerlist.jsp
  Shows how to set parameters for printing the demo report CustomerAnalysis.cls by using the ViewerApplet. This JSP calls printReport.jsp. If you want to print the other reports, you can follow this JSP file as an example to write your own JSP. In your own JSP, you should modify the values of "cat" and "rptName".

  String cat = "/SampleReports.cat"; //request.getParameter(APIConst.TAG_CATALOG);
String rptName = "/CustomerAnalysis.cls"; //request.getParameter(APIConst.TAG_REPORT);

• printReport.jsp
  Shows how to print reports by using the ViewerApplet. The example JSP printCustomerlist.jsp calls this JSP.

Before running the JSPs, copy them to <intall_root>\public_html\jinfonet. Then, start JReport Server and access printDemo.jsp using the URL http://localhost:8888/jinfonet/printDemo.jsp. The following page appears:

PrintInCurrentFrame
