Jaspersoft Studio (Proffesional Edition) uses a JavaScript library Highcharts and generates HTML5 interactive charts.
Is it possible to create in Jaspersoft Studio pie chart like here - http://www.highcharts.com/demo/pie-drilldown -
that is to click on a particular part of the pie chart appeared and flashed a smooth transition to drill-down report?
Is it possible to create and display such a report in preview mode?
I think you need two things, first of all you need to configure your library in jaspersoft studio:
http://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/advanced-formatting-new-html5-charts
and after that you need visualize.js, a component of jaspersoft to conect reports and javascript libraries as you want.

As asked by few other members, on similar line, I want to have landscape orientation for only one of my subreport. I am using iReport 5.6.0 and JasperReports 5.6.0.
I searched and almost all solutions suggest to have 2 separate reports and add/append them programmatically as mentioned here.
This solution is probably not ideal for me as I have 4 dynamic subreports(can produce variable number of pages at run time) and I want only third subreport to be landscaped. So, at run time it will be difficult to identify the point to append my landscaped report.
Questions that I have:
Is this native feature now introduced in any new version of iReport to support different orientation of subreport?
If no inbuilt support in iReport, how can I programatically add
subreport in between, if I don't know at which location/page the subreport will be added.
I tried to look for a solution in JasperSoft Studio as well, but not success.
Thanks in advance.
Starting with JasperReports v6.0 you may achieve what you want with a Report Book. It is basically a report bundle where each report can have a different orientation.
But since Jaspersoft Studio(with version 5.5.0) became the official design client for JasperReports, you will not find this feature in iReport. So starting with Jaspersoft Studio v6.0 you will be able to use it.
I'm looking for a report engine which may:
connect to data source via JDBC
create logic data set by grouping/aggregating the raw data
include a data filter on the top of each report, which allows my client use the report interactively
add custom charts, in my case, it's ECharts https://github.com/ecomfe/echarts
support multi-tenancy paradigm (new requirement)
Now BIRT and Pentaho are the two players on my table.
For pentaho, it's really hard to find useful document to at least clarify if it's capable. Please if you're familiar with it, let me know if pentaho community version meets my requirements.
For BIRT, I've found evidence it support my first 3 needs. But for custom charts, I can only find examples/docs about adding custom IMAGE/SVG charts. As ECharts is based on canvas, I'm not sure if it's possible to integrate ECharts with BIRT.
Thank you!
Yes, it is possible to integrate javascript charts in BIRT. Basically:
Select the top-level element of your report outline -> Script tab -> clientScripts
Include here your echart resources (.js and .css) using "head.js" (see link below for more informations)
Add a text element to the report
Set the type of this new element to 'HTML'
In a script tag, initialize your echart object in a "head.ready()" instruction (see link below for more informations). The tricky part is to understand how to use a server-side dataset in a client-side chart within this html script.
You can find more informations and a full example of a such report here, this example embeds a jvectormap in a birt report. Furthermore, see a live demo here, where a JIT chart is integrated in a BIRT report.
However since these charts are created using a client-side framework, obviously BIRT won't be able to export them in PDF format. You can see in the live demo linked above, how a BIRT report can easily handle a different output when users export to PDF.
You can do it in Pentaho, but which tool to use it's a matter of debate.
Using Pentaho Report Designer:
- Connects to DBs using JDBC;
- Allows grouping rows based on a field or fields and calculating functions such as running sums;
- Can use selectors (single or multi-valued selectors) to interact with the report, passing the selector values to the queries;
- As far as I can tell, you don't have many options to choose a specific charting engine.
However, you can use CCC as the charting engine, which is a Protovis based Javascript charting engine, cross-browser compatible (for the most part), renders SVG charts with a decent fallback for IE (I believe the fallback is flash but I'm not sure if it changed recently) and produces decent looking charts.
If you HAVE to use that chart library, then I suggest using C-Tools dashboards instead, where you can embed as many different JS files you want and you have full control over the JS and CSS of the page. But most of the reporting functions from PRD will have to be implmented by you.
I'm pretty new to JasperReports, Jaspersoft Studio, and JasperServer but I've got a JasperServer instance up and running and have been using it to create reports from Ad Hoc views. This works well but I'd like to make some report templates so that reports run from JasperServer can have branded headers/footers etc.
I worked through this tutorial and was able to create what I thought was a fine template but when I try export it as a JasperServer template I get all sorts of validation warnings and indeed trying to run reports using it from the server results in errors.
Here's an example of the warnings I'm seeing:
The style ChartValueAxisTickFormat was not found in the template
And the errors I get on the server when trying to use these templates look like those described here. I have tried using templates without any text fields or variables though. In fact, the unexpected tokens it complains about are usually actual field ids... do I need to anticipate the fields that would be used when creating a template? Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of having templates for reports created from ad hoc views?
Anyway, there's quite a lot of information out there around creating templates for Jaspersoft Studio (iReport) reports but not a whole lot on templates for JasperServer reports.
It seems like there's something fundamental about templates for JasperServer reports that I'm missing. I'd appreciate any help with either the issues I am describing or being pointed toward better documentation for creating these templates specifically.
Edit:
I'm using Jasper Studio Profession 5.5.0.final on the desktop and a Jaspersoft BI Professional for AWS 5.5 instance as the server.
Report Template as in tutorial you have linked are for Jaspersoft Studio / static reports only. Adhoc templates are different types of objects which are described here
I have encountered the same errors, and I have solved it by simply adding a styles to my report, in other words:
In the outline of your report, Right click on Style -> create Style, then just change the name of the style by each name of missing styles apperead (for example, ChartValueAxisTickFormat).
After creation of 55 styles in your report template in jasper Soft Studio, save the report, then export it as report template.
I hope this will help you.
I am currently using Crystal Report (for Visual Studio 2010), version 13.0.2
There's a funny error every time I run my web form:
I tried removing the existing style sheet of my web form, and the viewer's toolbar is showing properly.
Is there a way to resolve this? I still want to use the existing style sheet.
I am using jasper reports in my project to generate html reports. But the generated reports are static. Now we want to add some interactive features in it, like simple sorting and searching of columns. This is preferably to be done the client side. How can this be achieved ? So far I have tried to embed jquery into the generated report with no luck. Does jasper report provide such kind of functionality?
Use parameters and re compile the report every time you want to filter the data.
With your meaning of the word "interactive", nope that is not possible. A report is only a report - a presentation medium that shows data in such manner that is required by the business rule. You can format data here. You can stylize it, add image and what not. A client side application is probably what you want.
Well, your exact requirement can be achieved if you publish the Jasper Reports on the Jasper Server. Once published, all your reports become interactive (For Charts, you must use the PRO charts and not the basic HTML charts but for tables, it works automatically.)
Once you publish it on the Jasper Server, the features that you get are:
Sort button with various types
Export the Report to many formats (PDF, XML, etc - more than 10).
Zoom IN and Zoom Out.
Bubble for your charts making them interactive, etc.
Yes, interactivity is possible in Jasper Reports, but the thing is that you need a Jasper Server Pro or Enterprise version for achieving this. If you are using a community version, it is impossible to create interactive reports. You can download the free trail pro version of jasper server for 60 days from this link https://www.jaspersoft.com/download
