Description

Do you want to create easily understood, professional, and powerful reports from disordered, scattered data using a free, open source Java class library? If your answer is yes, this book on JasperReports is what you are looking for. JasperReports is the world's most popular embeddable Java open source reporting library, providing Java developers with the power to easily create rich print and web reports. The book has been fully updated to use JasperReports 3.5, the latest version of JasperReports. Previously accepted techniques that have now been deprecated have been replaced with their modern counterparts. All examples in the book have been updated to use XML schemas for report templates. Coverage of new data sources that JasperReports now supports has been added to the book. Additionally, JasperReports can now export reports to even more formats than before and exporting reports to these new formats is covered in this new edition of the book. This book shows you exactly how to get started, and develop the skills to get the most from JasperReports. It introduces you to the latest version of JasperReports, and gets you creating complex and elegant reports. The book steers you through each point of report setup, to creating, designing, formatting, and exporting reports with data from a wide range of data sources, and integrating JasperReports with other Java frameworks. Starting with the basics of adding reporting capabilities to your application and creating report templates, you will first see how to produce your reports through the use of JRXML files, custom ANT targets, and then preview them in both the web browser and the native browser of JasperReports. Getting data into your reports is the next step, and you will see how to get data from a range of data sources, not only databases, but XML files, and Java Objects, among others. You will create better looking reports with formatting and grouping, as well as adding graphical elements to your reports. You will export your reports to a range of different formats, including PDF and XML. Creating reports will be made even easier with a walkthrough of the iReport Designer visual designing tool. To round things off, you will see how to integrate your reports with other Java frameworks, using Spring or Hibernate to get data for the report, and Java Server Faces or Struts for presenting the report. All examples have been updated to use XML schemas. New export formats, such as OpenDocument Text, and new data sources now supported by JasperReports are now covered in this updated edition.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

Once we decided to replace our reporting tool with JasperReports we started to wander around the internet. This book helped us a lot to start real work with this wonderful tool for a short time.

Kieran Kelleher Oct 22, 2009

This book is essential to get you started with JasperReports, unless you want to waste hours and hours searching the internet for knowledge on JasperReports that you will not find. Free online information about JasperReports is very scarce. This book fills the void of JasperReports documentation and makes it easy to grasp the knowledge needed to quickly get reports done. In my case, my reports integrated directly with WebObjects and feeding the report with a dynamic customer JRDataSource of EnterpriseObjects worked very well.Bt the way, I used this book with JasperReports 3.6.0. I used iReport 3.6.0 NB to design my reports. I use Java with Apple's WebObjects technology for my projects and I develop on Mac OS X.

Great transaction! Item was exactly as described and arrived in a very timely manner!

Mahesh Lavannis Jul 15, 2010

I knew nothing about JasperReports when I bought this book. And within a couple of days I have a great looking PDF report :) This book is very well laid out. It walks you step by step from your first "Hello World" report to dynamic tables to graphics. It is well worth its price, especially give the scarcity of good JasperReport doc. I am glad Heffelfinger took the time to write it - kudos! Note that I am using the 3.5 version of this book.

Stephanus Mueller Sep 02, 2011

Das Buch ist nur für absolute Beginners einigermaßen sinnvoll. Für Leser, die schon mehrere echte Java-Projekte "auf dem Buckel" haben, werden sich sehr schnell langweilen, es beiseite legen und sich nach gehaltvollerer Lektüre zu den JasperReports umsehen.Für Einsteiger kann die ausgiebige Beschreibung warum wo was hinkopiert werden muss und wie man prinzipiell einen Report erstellt, hilfreich sein. Aber auch sie werden sich nach den ersten Gehversuchen und JasperReports für den Hausgebrauch sehr schnell nach etwas umfangreicherer Kost umsehen.Bleibt die Frage, ob ihnen das die (derzeit) knapp 40 Euro wert sein muss.
