Servoy JasperReports Plugin v.3.1.0 Beta 2 has been released

We are pleased to announce the availability of the Servoy JasperReports Plugin v.3.1.0 Beta 2.

The plugin has the known versions (Basic, ChartNScript, Advanced) available for download at: http://code.google.com/p/servoy-jasperr … loads/list

This second beta version contains the following major fix and feature added:

  • the jnlp file has been modified, so that the first line does not contain the semicolon character (in version and encoding attributes); this is due to the fact that Servoy version 5.1.3 and higher parse the jnlp files with a DOM parser which does not tolerate the wrong version.
  • support for MIME types has been added (credits to Jeff Bader and Scott Butler for the patches)
  • other small improvements and fixes

We await feedback!

Best regards,
Andrei

Andrei thanks for all the work on this great plugin!

Regarding the new MIME type feature for WC, we need to be sure to explicitly set the file extension of the file we are serving to the client (in JasperReportsWebViewer per my original patch) b/c JasperReports via Apache POI creates CDF V2 Documents (for all MS office types), and it’s impossible to tell what they really are unless they have the appropriate file extension.
The browser (Safari at least) seems to always add a .doc to any CDF V2 doc even if the appropriate content type is sent in the header, so sending the application type isn’t enough.

FYI, this info is also in issue 26. thanks.
