Deepak Vohra | May 2013 | Enterprise Articles Java
Eclipse IDE for Java EE provides project facets for various types of projects. In this article, we discuss a more generic project facet for web applications called the Dynamic Web Module project facet that adds support for Java Servlet API to build web applications. To demonstrate the use of the Dynamic Web Project we shall be using JasperReports as an example. Preparing presentation-quality reports is a routine occurrence, and several tools & APIs for creating reports are available. For Java developers, one of the most commonly used API is JasperSoft’s open source JasperReports, which is capable of producing a range of outputs, including HTML, PDF, presentations from either static data or data retrieved form a database table using an SQL query, and is designed to be integrated directly into Java/J2EE applications.
In this article by Deepak Vohra author of Java EE Development with Eclipse, we sets out to demonstrate the essentials of how JasperReports can be used in a web application created with Eclipse. The examples created in this article are a PDF report and an Excel report. The article has the following sections.
-
Setting the environment
-
Creating a Dynamic Web project in Eclipse
-
Creating the configuration file
-
Creating a web application
-
Creating a Report Design
-

Drilling Back to Source Data in Dynamics GP 2013 using Dashboards
by
Mark Polino | May 2013 | Enterprise Articles Microsoft
In this article by Mark Polino, author of Building Dashboards with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 and Excel 2013, will walk you through the deployment of a dashboard. Once you deploy a dashboard, it's inevitable that someone will want more information. They won't believe a number and will want to know the detail that makes up a balance. A great way to manage this is to build a couple of dashboards. Usually, this looks like a primary dashboard with secondary dashboards that break out more information about sales, cash, or departments. We've done this on a very simple level with our Revenue and Net Income tabs. They provide additional detail to expand on the main dashboard numbers.
Another great way to deal with the need for detail, and to take your dashboard beyond what everyone else is doing, is to allow users to drill down into specific transactions or accounts in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013. In this article, we will look at drill down options including:
-
Hyperlinks
-
Using drill downs present in GP 2013
-
The structure of a drill down
-
Building your own links with Drill Down Builder
-
Drill downs in complex environments
