Jasper Reports Issues

Post by Jhstephenson »

With Bruce's help I have started using Jasper Reports for some forms and a few other things.

I have run into a few issues that I cannot figure out and am hoping that some of you, who use Jasper, might have run into similar things...

1. I have some picture attributes defined in a BO that I want to put on a form. When Jasper reads the sql query I created it identifies them as type java.sql.Clob, or something like that. When I put them on a form all that prints out is a short string with Clob at the end of it and a sequential number, that increments every time I try to print it. Is there something else that needs done to get these to print?

2. I have some large text fields in my BO that are defined as Content: HTML. In my app they can be formatted just fine with Bold, Underline, Indent, Outline, etc... and they look just fine. When I place them on a Jasper Report and use "Markup: html" the only formatting that prints is line spacing and font differences. Am I missing something or is that just the way it works in Jasper?

3. I am printing my forms as PDF's. They show up just fine and I can either download or print them. No problem. I would like though to be able to pass a specific file path to Jasper and have it save the document without having to do it manually. Is that possible?

Overall, I really like how the process for setting up and running these reports in Jasper works. I just need a few tweaks.

Thanks,
Jim
