Software Programming: iReport

Learn I- Report configuration with Spring boot/Microservices using Java

iReport
iReport is a powerful graphical design tool for report designers and power users to define reports for execution using the JasperReports engine. Whether you are using the JasperReports library by itself as a critical component of your application or you are using it as a component of the JasperReports Server application, iReport can help you design reports to meet the most complex reporting demands. iReport is built on the NetBeans platform and is available as a standalone application or as a Netbeans plug-in.
Requirements For current Download JasperReports iReport Tools , Ckeck It is recommended that you run iReport with JDK v1.5,v1.6 or v1.7. Note that for Windows Vista users, it is recommended that you run JDK v1.7.

JasperReports Create very sophisticated layouts containing charts, images, subreports, crosstabs and much more. Access your data through JDBC, TableModels, JavaBeans, XML, Hibernate, CSV, and custom sources. Then publish your reports as PDF, RTF, XML, XLS, CSV, HTML, XHTML, text, DOCX, or OpenOffice. Through this post, we will tell you how to configure iReport in Mavan base java application(Microservices) project. follows step by step:

Create Spring Boot Java (Microservices)
Create/Design report.jrxml

Create Spring Boot Java (Microservices).

For step by step development working watch the video and learn yourself. Download wampServer2.0i and install then run it.

1. Create Database: Database Name is hostel.
2. Create Table: Table Name is product.

Configure application.properties

Report:

In src/main/resources/reports/report.jrxml folder, create new folder named reports. In this folder, create new Jasper Report named report.jrxml as below:

Entities Class

Create new package, named IReporta143mk.entities. In this package, create entities class name is Product.java as below:

package IReporta143mk.entities;

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name = "product")
public class Product {

@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
	private int id;
	private String name;
	private BigDecimal price;
	private int quantity;
	@Column(name = "category_name")
	private String categoryName;

public int getId() {
		return id;
	}

public void setId(int id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

public BigDecimal getPrice() {
		return price;
	}

public void setPrice(BigDecimal price) {
		this.price = price;
	}

public int getQuantity() {
		return quantity;
	}

public void setQuantity(int quantity) {
		this.quantity = quantity;
	}

public String getCategoryName() {
		return categoryName;
	}

public void setCategoryName(String categoryName) {
		this.categoryName = categoryName;
	}

}

Create ProductRepository Interface
Create new package named IReporta143mk.repositories. In this package create the ProductRepository interface implements from CrudRepository interface of Spring Data JPA that provides CRUD Operations for an entity.

Create ProductService Interface
Create new package named IReporta143mk.services. In this package create the ProductService interface and ProductServiceImpl as below:
First one is ProductService.java

Second one is ProductServiceImpl.java

Create Controllers
Create new package named IReporta143mk.controllers. In this package, create new java class named ProductController.java

package IReporta143mk.controllers;
import java.io.InputStream;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import IReporta143mk.services.ProductService;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.DefaultJasperReportsContext;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanCollectionDataSource;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.export.HtmlExporter;
import net.sf.jasperreports.export.SimpleExporterInput;
import net.sf.jasperreports.export.SimpleHtmlExporterOutput;

@Controller
public class ProductController {

@Autowired
	private ProductService productService;

@RequestMapping("/index")
	public String index(ModelMap modelMap) {
		return "jsp/index";
	}

@RequestMapping(value = "report", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public void report(HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
		response.setContentType("text/html");
		JRBeanCollectionDataSource dataSource = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(productService.report());
		InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/reports/report.jrxml");
		JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(inputStream);
		JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, null, dataSource);
		HtmlExporter exporter = new HtmlExporter(DefaultJasperReportsContext.getInstance());
		exporter.setExporterInput(new SimpleExporterInput(jasperPrint));
		exporter.setExporterOutput(new SimpleHtmlExporterOutput(response.getWriter()));
		exporter.exportReport();
	}

}

Create jsp page
Create new folder name is jsp. In thes folder /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp
