Re: JasperReports / JFreeReports

Hi Yves,

I wrote a reader (which is far from being mature).
It's not really integrated into Cocoon.  Let me know if you're interested.

Here's how it works:

An entry in the sitemap could look like this:

<map:match pattern="myreport">
         
      <map:read
src="">"report/classic.jrxml"
type="jasperreport">
           
            <map:parameter
name="JDBCDatasource"
value="jdbc:postgresql://192.168.1.3:5432/test"/>
           
            <map:parameter
name="JDBCUser"
      value="<user>"/>
           
     
      <map:parameter
name="JDBCPass"
      value="<pass>"/>
           
            <map:parameter
name="JDBCDriver"
    value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
           
               
    
           
            <map:parameter
name="custom"
value="mycustomparameter"/>

           
    </map:read>
               
</map:match>

As you can see there's no connection between the XML
created by Cocoon, so the XML file with the report design must be present
in the file system. URLs will not work in the src attribute (because JasperReports
won't accept URLs). But it's OK to use with legacy reports. Nevertheless,
you can pass parameters from the sitemap to the report . If this is what
you're looking for, I would share the code somewhere.

I'd love to write a transformer for this, but since
the XML processor is part of JasperReport (using Apache Commons Digester)
and also a part of Cocoon, I couldn't find any "interface" where
I could plug in cocoon the deliver the XML. 

Does anyone know about other tools which also use
a GUI to create reports and work with cocoon?

Regards
Holger
