[jasperreports-questions] JasperViewer from a modal dialog wizard. How?
Hi, We've started using JasperReports a few days ago and have been very pleased at the product and our progress. However, I am currently struggling to provide a Print Preview of the report before the user confirms and actually prints. Currently I'm building a report Request for Quotiation. The user gathers some information in a Wizard, and has options such as Preview and Print before it finishes. The problem is that the Wizard is a modal dialog, so when we start the Report Viewer (a JFrame) - it does become visible, but we can't control it because all focus remains on the wizard. When we close the Wizard we can use the viewer to inspect the new document - however that is not very useful. I've considered creating HTML and displaying that in a browser, but I would prefer the native viewer to provide a more accurate representation of a printout. Are there any other options for providing a print preview from a modal dialog?? I thought about stealing the JPanel from the ReportViewer, and displaying that in a dialog - but that seems too extreme. Any suggestions are appreciated.

[jasperreports-questions] Novice - Help. (nearly) My first Jasper Report !!!
Hello, I'm constructing my first Jasper Report, and all is going quite well except I don't quite understand something. I have used iReports and successfully parsed and compiled our design. I have created a JRDataSource object that is ready to supply the data. I've got a map full of parameters ready to go. Now I want to use something like JasperPrint jp = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, dataSource); The point I don't understand is how do I get the jasperReport After compilation withiReports I have various files such as BasicRFQ.jasper and various versions of BasicRFQ_11453453453_234234.java. Do I put one of these in a folder, and pick it up as a File and pass it as the jasperReport??? If possible, I want to place the jasperReport in a specific run time directory with other data files, and NOT inside the application's jar. It does not quite sound right. I'm sure I'm missing something simple. I've been scratching around all the samples but I have not discovered anything. I would appreciate any guidance.
