I'm working on NetBeans, and want to 'auto-generate' a report with JasperReports.
Here is the deal: I want to create a form that asks for a date frame in order to do a sql query and bring that information; then format it and generate a PDF report out of it.
I see that JasperReports uses the jrxml files compiled to .jasper in order to generate the reports. I want to know if that jrxml could be auto-generated by some code of the API, or it would be needed to edit the jrxml file 'programatically' to auto-generate the report.
Thanks,

Take a look at DynamicJasper. It allows you to programmatically create reports without a jrxml file.
try this :
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jprint, pdfFileName);
it works perfectly.

Hi i wanna run my birt report through a java program in ubuntu machine and also need to export to xlsx format. Is any way to do this? I can find to run birt report but not able to find program to export the report.
The code i am looking is : here. But it export HTML i want xlsx format, moreover some of the classed in this example are depricated.
How can i achieve this please anyone help me?
This is actually quite easy. Export to XSLX is something that birt runtime is doing "out of the box" and you do not need any custom emmiters.
So, if you already have code exporting to PDF or anything, you just create different render options (for PDF it might be just a RenderOption, for XSLX you need EXCELRenderOption), and on the options call: option.setOutputFormat("xlsx").
And that's it.
Just a simple code (I leave unneccessery stuff out of here):
ReportEngine re = new ReportEngine(engineConfig); //you need engine config, might be default
IReportRunnable runnable = re.openReportDesign(is);
IRunAndRenderTask task = re.createRunAndRenderTask(runnable);
IRenderOption option = new EXCELRenderOption();
option.setOutputFormat("xlsx");
option.setOutputStream(hereWillBeYourReport);
task.setRenderOption(option);
task.run();
task.close();
I can't pdf report in netbeans with hibernate connection. I have a jsp page and a submit button which is supposed to read the database with hibernate connection and create pdf report for that. I can handle manually without any problem with jasper reports, ireport etc. So I can see what I want, but I want to do so that when I click on the submit button, it dynamically reads database and then converts the jrxml file to pdf. Also, I don't want it to use beans. Just a simple pdf creation with hibernate. Is that possible? Can anyone help me out with that?
Firstly If you write code or error more accurately we can answer.What is version of hibernate?I tried it with hibernate 3.8 but doesn't work cause jasper report's authors explained thus "We are currently supporting Hibernate 3.3.2.GA. Same version as JasperReports and JasperReports Server. There is also a dedicated library that you can add for compiling code in the "Build Path" preference page.
Unfortunately we currently don't support the co-existence of multiple Hibernate versions.
We will probably work on this in the nearly future." http://community.jaspersoft.com/jaspersoft-studio/issues/3802
Otherwise you can follow these steps;

I don't know what to do, please guide me
I'm using JasperReports and facing a problem.
I need to create a PDF file with a table, but without knowing the number of its row.
So I decided to use JasperReports API without using iReport or Jaspersoft Studio to create .jrxml design file.
But, I cannot find any sample that helps me how to write code to use table (or crosstab) in Jasper Reports.
Can you help me?
I have code which uses BIRT 2.6.1 runtime to get data from JDBC data source which works fine. but I want to change it to use a CSV file instead. what's the code to achieve this?
I have the following:
OdaDataSourceHandle dsHandle = designFactory.newOdaDataSource(
this.dataSourceName, "org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc" );
so what I am looking for is the 2nd parameter "extension id" for the csv type. flat file is supported in GUI.. so it should be exposed via api. although the only data packages I see are jdbc and xml.
got it. "org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.flatfile" is the extensionId. which I obtained by running birt in the design mode and checking the XML.
