Omar,
You seem to be intimating that you can connect to Jasper Soft from within SERVOY to CREATE/DESIGN a REPORT?
Is it through a PERSPECTIVE? OR?
Daryl
Hi Daryl,
You don’t need the connection with Servoy or the database to design the report. You just define the fields in your report by name and add them in your report wherever you need them. Then save the report. From Servoy run the report and if your datasource contains the fields that match the ones you defined in the report it will just work. The plugin makes sure that Servoy passes all necessary connection details in at runtime. Very cool is that you can use relations and calculations as well. It is almost like the JasperSoft report editor is a report editor integrated in the Servoy design environment. Try it, if you get stuck, let me know. Once you are used to it I think you will never want it otherwise.
Greetings,
Omar,
Interesting, the DEMOS that I viewed online by the SERVOY TEAM seemed to have the DATASET visible in the JasperSoft Design IDE. That is what I was trying to accomplish. E.G. you could see in the IDE that data elements and select them and verify them as you were building the report.
I think there is a capability that is not very well documented here.
