JasperReports - Exporting Reports

We have seen in the previous chapter, how to print and view a JasperReport generated document. Here, we shall see how to transform or export these reports into other formats such as PDF, HTML, and XLS. Facade class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperExportManager is provided to achieve this functionality. Exporting means transforming the JasperPrint object (.jrprint file) into different format.
The following code (JasperReportExport.java) demonstrates the exporting process of the JasperReport document. The JasperExportManager provides methods to export a report into PDF, HTML, and XML only. To export to the XLS format, we have used the class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.export.JRXlsExporter. This code generates following three files −
  • sample_report.pdf
  • sample_report.html
  • sample_report.xls

Exporting to Other Formats

Let's write a report template. The contents of the JRXML file (C:\tools\jasperreports-5.0.1\test\jasper_report_template.jrxml) are as below −
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jasperReport PUBLIC "//JasperReports//DTD Report Design//EN"
   "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jasperreport.dtd">

         <staticText>
            <reportElement x = "0" y = "3" width = "136" height = "15" />

            <reportElement x = "414" y = "0" width = "121" height = "15" />
            
            <textElement textAlignment = "Center" verticalAlignment = "Middle">

            </textFieldExpression>
         </textField>
      
      </band>
   </detail>
 
</jasperReport>
Next, contents of the POJO file C:\tools\jasperreports-5.0.1\test\src\com\tutorialspoint\DataBean.java are as given below −
package com.tutorialspoint;

public class DataBean {
   private String name;
   private String country;

   public String getName() {
      return name;
   }

   public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
   }

   public String getCountry() {
      return country;
   }

   public void setCountry(String country) {
      this.country = country;
   }
}
The contents of the file C:\tools\jasperreports-5.0.1\test\src\com\tutorialspoint\DataBeanList.java are as given below −
package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class DataBeanList {
   public ArrayList<DataBean> getDataBeanList() {
      ArrayList<DataBean> dataBeanList = new ArrayList<DataBean>();

      dataBeanList.add(produce("Manisha", "India"));
      dataBeanList.add(produce("Dennis Ritchie", "USA"));
      dataBeanList.add(produce("V.Anand", "India"));
      dataBeanList.add(produce("Shrinath", "California"));

      return dataBeanList;
   }

   /**
    * This method returns a DataBean object,
    * with name and country set in it.
    */
   private DataBean produce(String name, String country) {
      DataBean dataBean = new DataBean();
      dataBean.setName(name);
      dataBean.setCountry(country);
      
      return dataBean;
   }
}
Write a main class file JasperReportFill.java, which gets the java bean collection from the class (DataBeanList) and passes it to the JasperReports engine, to fill the report template. Save it to the directory C:\tools\jasperreports-5.0.1\test\src\com\tutorialspoint.
package com.tutorialspoint;

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

import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRExporterParameter;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperExportManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanCollectionDataSource;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.export.JRXlsExporter;

public class JasperReportFill {
   @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String sourceFileName = "c://tools/jasperreports-5.0.1/"
         + "test/jasper_report_template.jasper";
      String printFileName = null;
      DataBeanList DataBeanList = new DataBeanList();
      ArrayList<DataBean> dataList = DataBeanList.getDataBeanList();
      JRBeanCollectionDataSource beanColDataSource =
         new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(dataList);

      Map parameters = new HashMap();
      try {
         printFileName = JasperFillManager.fillReportToFile(sourceFileName,
            parameters, beanColDataSource);
         if (printFileName != null) {
            /**
             * 1- export to PDF
             */
            JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(printFileName,
               "C://sample_report.pdf");

            /**
             * 2- export to HTML
             */
            JasperExportManager.exportReportToHtmlFile(printFileName,
               "C://sample_report.html");

            /**
             * 3- export to Excel sheet
             */
            JRXlsExporter exporter = new JRXlsExporter();

            exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.INPUT_FILE_NAME,
               printFileName);
            exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.OUTPUT_FILE_NAME,
               "C://sample_report.xls");

            exporter.exportReport();
         }
      } catch (JRException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}
Here, we have included the logic to export the jasper print file to pdf, html and xls format.

Generating Reports

Let's compile and execute above files using our regular ANT build process. The build.xml file is as given below −
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<project name = "JasperReportTest" default = "executereport" basedir = ".">
   <import file = "baseBuild.xml"/>

   <target name = "executereport" depends = "compile,compilereportdesing,run">
      <echo message = "Im here"/>
   </target>
   
   <target name = "compilereportdesing" description = "Compiles the JXML file and
      produces the .jasper file.">
      
      <taskdef name = "jrc"
         classname = "net.sf.jasperreports.ant.JRAntCompileTask">
         <classpath refid = "classpath" />
      </taskdef>
      
      <jrc destdir = ".">
         <src>
            <fileset dir = ".">
               <include name = "*.jrxml" />
            </fileset>
         </src>
         <classpath refid = "classpath" />
      </jrc>
   
   </target>
 
</project>
Go to the command prompt and then go to the directory C:\tools\jasperreports-5.0.1\test, where build.xml is placed. Finally, execute the command ant -Dmain-class=com.tutorialspoint.JasperReportFill. The output is as follows −
C:\tools\jasperreports-5.0.1\test>ant -Dmain-class=com.tutorialspoint.JasperReportFill

As the result of above execution, you will find three files sample_report.pdf, sample_report.html, sample_report.xls generated in the C:\ directory.
