LATEST MOVED TO https://github.com/yakworks/spring-grails-kit
Moved project for Grails 5 and Groovy 3 compatibility. go to https://github.com/yakworks/spring-grails-kit
see branch and versions 3.0.x - Works with Grails 3.2.x
Install for grails 3.3.x
compile "org.grails.plugins:jasper-reports:3.2.0"
Jasper reports plugin integrates jasper reports library with grails and makes it easy to generate and render reports. Plugin also configures jasper spring mvc view resolver which makes it possible to render views as reports easily from controllers.
class DemoController {
def index() {
render view: 'demo.jrxml', model: [name: 'Jeff Beck', instrument: 'Guitar']
}
}that looks like this:
<html>
<body>
Name: ${name} <br/>
Instrument: ${instrument}<br/>
</body>
</html>Use your browser to navigate to http://localhost:8080/yourApp/demo
Done!
Plugin configures a spring mvc view resolver which handles .jasper and .jrxml files. This makes it extremely easy
to generate reports. the .jrxl file can be put inside grails-app/views directory just like a gsp view and it will be rendered as jasper report as shown in quick start example above.
It is also possible to render reports programmatically using JasperService as shown in Services section below.
JasperService
JasperService provides methods to programmatically generate and render reports.
Example
class ReportController {
import yakworks.jasper.JasperService
import yakworks.jasper.spring.JasperReportDef
import yakworks.reports.ReportFormat
def generate(String name) {
JasperService jasperService
List reportData = [] //prepare list of maps which will be feed to jasper report as data.
JasperReportDef opts = new JasperReportDef(
name: name, //the name of jrxml or compiled .jasper file
fileFormat: ReportFormat.PDF,
parameters: [param1:value1, param2:value2], //pass whatever parameter needed.
reportData: reportData
)
ByteArrayOutputStream out = jasperService.generateReport(opts)
//do some thing with ByteArrayOutputStream, write to file or stream to browser etc.
}
}
Configuring ViewResourceLocator to add extra directories as report files location.
Plugin configures an instance of ViewResourceLocator as spring bean with name jasperViewResourceLocator
Which is used internally to locate jasper report template files. So every thing explained in view tools plugin docs
Applies to jasperViewResourceLocator.
Here is an example of how to use an external directory to store jasper report template files.
grails-app/conf/spring/resources.groovy
jasperViewResourceLocator(grails.plugin.viewtools.ViewResourceLocator) { bean ->
searchPaths = [
"file:/someLoc/my-templates/" //the directory which contains the jasper templates
]
searchBinaryPlugins = true
if (!application.warDeployed) { // <- grails2
grailsViewPaths = ["/grails-app/views"]
webInfPrefix = ""
}
