Converting .jrxml file to .pdf file

Question

I ran few load test on my web application. Problem is the results of the load test application is in .jrxml format. The result contains charts graphs and certain parameters. I know its a jasperreport format. So if I convert the .jrxml file to .pdf file will I be able to see all charts,graphs and values...

I am assuming irrespective of the .jrxml content about chart or graph the pdf generated will contain appropiate values as template is prepared according to the charting API.

Can I produce jasper report without specifying any datasource connection..I dont need a datasource connection since my .jrxml file does not contain a datasource attribute... If yes, how can I acheive it.. Kindly suggest

If you don't have any data source, you can try this

jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(sourceFileName);
jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport,jasperParameter,new  JREmptyDataSource()); 
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, "D://Test.pdf");

Even if you do not have any data source and its a static data report giving JREmptyDataSource is required.
