To create a Jasper Report sample, we need to start with a template. To Create a template we can use iReport.

You can download iReport from the link , and install iReport.





To create a empty report template you need to follow these steps.







So for I have created a empty template.

 

What should be the next step to create a Jasper Report? 

Next step is to create a new TestJava project in your eclipse workspace.

Create a new class name Samlpe.

And paste code give below. 



 

Code for Sample.java
package com.struts2spring;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperExportManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.design.JasperDesign;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.xml.JRXmlLoader;
import net.sf.jasperreports.view.JasperViewer;

/**
* @author struts2spring
*/

public class Sample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {

String ralPath = "D:\\JasperReport\\testReport.jrxml";
JasperDesign jasperDesign = JRXmlLoader.load(ralPath);
JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jasperDesign);
jasperReport.setWhenNoDataType(jasperReport.WHEN_NO_DATA_TYPE_ALL_SECTIONS_NO_DETAIL);
Map parameters = new HashMap();
parameters.put("Report Title", "test title");
parameters.put("Page Header1", "header1");
parameters.put("Page Header2", "header2");
JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters);
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, "D:\\JasperReport\\destFileName.pdf");
JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

testReport.jrxml
