iReports - HTML format in JSP

[Renjith Mohan]

Hi all,
My application base is Struts and MySQL. I am generating pre-compiled ireports in many formats. I have a confusion over exporting reports as HTML. There is no way to write HTML reports as a stream using JasperExportManager. I did with PDF files - they can easily be exported as stream, and displayed.

What I am doing with HTML reports is I get the the report written to an HTML file, save it, and then print using PrintWriter.

Is there any other good approach?


Thanks
Renjith

Hi,
try out this

public ActionForward MethodName(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
			 HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)
			 throws Exception {
				
		String forward = "SUCCESS";
		FormName formName = (FormName) form;
		JasperReport jasperReport;
		JasperPrint jasperPrint;
		response.setContentType("text/html");
		Map parameters = new HashMap();
		try {
			jasperReport = JasperManager.loadReport(request.getRealPath("/reports     
/YourReportName.jasper"));
			BeanName beanName = (DefineBeanHere)ServiceFinder.getContext(request).getBean("DefineBeanHere");
			jasperPrint = storeReportService.getJasperPrint(jasperReport,parameters);
			request.setAttribute("jasperPrint", jasperPrint);
		}
		catch(JRException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return mapping.findForward("SUCCESS");
	}
	

Map this in your struts-config.
And then on in JSP call the compiled jasper report.
Hope this will help you.
And Please correct if I am wrong somewhere.
