JasperReports with Maven and Eclipse example

Question

All I want is to generate a simple pdf report using JasperReport+Maven+Eclipse.

I have been browsing for a simple example for some time but not able to find any.

1. The JasperReport site doesn’t seem to have any tutorial with Maven
2. The Maven 2 JasperReports Plugin gives the following error in Eclipse Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.codehaus.mojo:jasperreports-maven-plugin:1.0- beta-2:compile-reports
3. Most of the examples on other sites are with Ant and Jasper

Answer 1

its a small report for getting data.

this is your controller

@RequestMapping(value ="/BMIbyage",method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView BMIbyage(ModelAndView modelAndView, ModelMap model, Map<String, Object> map,HttpServletRequest request,
        @RequestParam("syear") int syear,@RequestParam("eyear") int eyear,HttpSession session){
    String childid = (String) session.getAttribute("childid");

    List<AdmissionSummery> asum = new ArrayList<AdmissionSummery>();

     List<PatientDetails> patientdetail = patientService.listpatientbmi();

    for(int i=syear;i<=eyear;i++){
         asum.add(new AdmissionSummery());
        int no=0;
        for(int j=0;j<patientdetail.size();j++){


            int dob = Integer.parseInt(patientdetail.get(j).getDateofbirth().substring(0, 4));

            float bmi = patientService.listPatient(patientdetail.get(j).getChildid()).get(0).getBmi();


            if(dob ==i && (bmi<18.5)){
                no=no+1;

                asum.get(asum.size()-1).setNooftime(no);

            }
            System.out.println("no"+no);
            System.out.println("j"+j);
            asum.get(asum.size()-1).setDuration(syear+" "+"-"+" "+eyear);
            asum.get(asum.size()-1).setYear(i);


            System.out.println("BMI"+bmi);

        }



        System.out.println("i"+i);
    }

      JRDataSource datasource = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(asum);   

        model.addAttribute("datasourcebmireportA", datasource);

        model.addAttribute("format", "pdf");

        modelAndView = new ModelAndView("pdfReportViewaddsummeryA", model);



    return modelAndView;


}

designer page like this

Here is your designer xml

<title>
    <band height="122" splitType="Stretch">

<summary>

This is your JSP

<tr>
    <td  ><a href="#"><div class="box">
        <form action="BMIbyage">
        <table width="754">
        <tr>
        <td width="190">
        <font color="black">BMI value < 18.5kg/m2</font></td>

        <td width="124"></td>

        <td width="82">
    <select name="syear"> 
    <option value="Pleaseselect">----</option>
                <%for(int j=1980;j<=2030;j++)
                {
                    %>
                    <option value="<%=j%>"><%=j%></option>
                    <%
                    }
                    %>
    </select>
    </td>
    <td width="20"> to </td>
  <td width="178">
    <select name="eyear"> 
    <option value="Pleaseselect">----</option>
                <%for(int j=1980;j<=2030;j++)
                {
                    %>
                    <option value="<%=j%>"><%=j%></option>
                    <%
                    }
                    %>
    </select>
    </td>
    <td width="108"><input type="submit" value="Generate"></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
        </form>

    </div></a></td>
    </tr>

this is the jasper-views.xml

<bean id="pdfReportViewaddsummeryA"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jasperreports.JasperReportsMultiFormatView"
 p:url="/WEB-INF/Reports/BMIReport.jasper"
 p:reportDataKey="datasourcebmireportA"
 />

here is the pom.xml

<!--    report
     -->
