I have IReport running Client Side and due to security, we do not allow direct database connection via JDBC. Thus we will need to have iReport either connect via Headless Client, Web services or some other remote method of accessing the data indirectly.

Is this possible? Seems to me this would be the norm when accessing a commercial, multi-company cloud hosted application.

Seems like this is a serious deficiency in the cloud computing model since it seems impossible to get a straight (or any) answer out of anyone.

Where are all the smart people out there?

Surely someone has considered this?

Hi David,

I think you might want to checkout [JasperReports Server](http://www.jaspersoft.com/reporting-server) from JasperSoft.

Hope this helps.

I am not completely sure I understand what you are trying to do here.

You want to run iReport (the report designing tool) client side? The only reason to use iReport is to design reports, not to run them for production. iReport always runs client side for the developer to design reports.

If this is the case, then you can provide sample data for design purposes. No need to connect to production data.

Please explain exactly what you are trying to do.

Thanks,  
Jason
