Is it possible to use Jasper Reports to generate reports from LDAP

Question

I'd like to be able to include the results of LDAP queries in Jasper reports. Is that feasible? From what I can gather it seems that the only way to go about this is to write my own custom datasource.

Answer 1

I believe you can/could.

Basically you would have to write your own datasource to query LDAP based on the query provided by the report/sub-dataset.

Alternatively, though I've never used them, you could try a JDBC-LDAP bridge. If your query needs are fairly straightforward,this may be good enough.

Answer 2

It should be possible.... We can connect to any datasource (DB or custom datasource) and we can execute any SQL query or even we can configure map to act as a datasource to execute report from java application....
