Uniface with Jasper Reports

Hi there,

i did install it recently on my Windows 7 Machine and played around a bit. But actually not that much to say, that i could give a detailed response on that.

But, atleast i want to mention, that I'm interested in that Topic aswell ;) Maybe we should give it a try ... ;)

Cheers,

Hi Martin,

if you are on jaspersoft.com, please have a look at the iEditor as well.
Like Jaspersoft it has a community edition (free-of-charge).

As far as I understood, it is just
- (after you created the report definition with iReport)
- create a XML datafile by Uniface
- spawn a JAVA job to do the reporting

Success in Canada, Uli

iEditor? Do you mean iReport? (http://jasperforge.com/plugins/project/project_home.php?group_id=83)

I will investigate the generation of XML and the spawning of the Java job. If anyone else wants to investigate too, that'd be good :)

Hi Martin,

you are right, it is iReport.

I have opened a section for HardCopies in Uniface (dITo_HCo) in www.uli-merkel.de/dito 
for exchange of ideas, concepts, prototypes how to do reporting.

Another part of this section deals with cross-component hardcopy
so you get a printout of a component and the (open) tabpage.

Or you can compose a report calling different components but get a single output file.

In uniface 7.2.04, I used a flexible RTF concept:

- After opening the file and writing the RTF Header
- each component just added their lines to the file
- and the RTF trailer is written at the end

Given some time (currently I am in the final phase of UniAssist 8.8)
I will translate and upgrade my concept so I can be published.

Martin, If you or anybody else want to contribute to dITo,
you are more than welcome.

Success, Uli
