I am trying to get a table to populate with the same data in my main report using Jasper/iReport. How can I get the Json to carry over?
In Edit table datasource I've tried:
((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JsonDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE})
new ((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JsonDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE})
$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}
$P{REPORT_CONNECTION}
All of which compile, but none of which actually generate a table. Any ideas? There is no method like cloneDataSource() for JSON so what is the alternative?
My ultimate goal is simple: to pass in JSON data and use it to generate a chart, and then have a table displaying the same information. I have been working for days on this, Jasper is giving me a hard time. Please help!
I was struggling with a similar problem when using sub reports. It seems that the JSON datasource gets consumed by the main report so you need to invoke subDataSource()
to get a fresh datasource for your sub reports and maybe for tables, too - haven't tested that yet though...
Data Source Expression: ((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JsonDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}).subDataSource()
If anyone is using the JasperReports new Book Reports feature (available in version 6+) and you want to use a JsonDataSource
, this is the way to pass the json payload to the subreports:
<p:subreportPart xmlns:p="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports/parts" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports/parts http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/parts.xsd">
<subreportParameter name="REPORT_DATA_SOURCE">
<subreportParameterExpression><![CDATA[((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JsonDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}).subDataSource()]]></subreportParameterExpression>
</subreportParameter>
<subreportExpression><![CDATA["PROFILES_cover.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>
</p:subreportPart>
You could also pass a subset of the json payload by providing node location as a parameter of the subDataSource(java.lang.String selectExpression)
method. Examples:
.subDataSource("Northwind.Customers")
or
.subDataSource("Northwind.Customers(Country == USA)")
Just add Data Source Expression in your main report:
<subreport>
<reportElement x="-6" y="0" width="570" height="59" uuid="ac54a12b-8022-49a1-bc90-90cff664e3a1" />
<dataSourceExpression>
<![CDATA[((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JsonDataSource)$P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE}).subDataSource("footer")]]>
</dataSourceExpression>
<subreportExpression>
<![CDATA["footer.jrxml"]]>
</subreportExpression>
</subreport>
Its working for me. Hope it will help.
