Hi!. i'm testing with my first report made using Jasper Reports. I've preview it and looks fine. But, i don't know how to call it from my JSF page.

I've performed a search but couldn't find some significative information. Anyone know how to do it?. Is there a manual or something i can read?.

I'm using:
* NetBeans 6.1
* I-Report plug-in for NetBeans (iReport-nb-0.9.2).

Thanks a lot in advance.

Simple pseudo code-

1. Click on a link or button.
2. Generate the report on server side.
3. Return the generated report to client.

Hope this helps.

Hi.

I'm with the same doubt.

How implement the calling between step 1 and 2. By calling a servlet?

When you click on a button or link then a method of some managed bean will be called, this is where you need to generate the report and point the user towards generated report file.

Hi all!. Thanks for the anwsers!!! i've found a method in a french site. This method call a Report in PDF format.

Actually it's not working for me . I've created the .jasper file in a package on my project. This is the structure:

nsm.moreno.entidades:
--------------------classes
--------------------more classes
--------------------myReport.jasper

Back to the method. i don't understand where to get the "reportId", and,how to use the File object. Anyone has any idea?.. Thanks a lot!
