CFJASPERREPORT

A tag for running JasperReports http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperreports
JasperReports does lovely barcodes, charts, crosstab reports... it's swell.

Run reports using datasource name, SQL, CFML Queries, or CFML structures.

Examples: 

export as PDF:
<jr:jasperreport jrxml="#path#/report.jrxml" 
	exportfile="#outpath#/rockn.pdf" exporttype="pdf"/>

export as Excel file:
<jr:jasperreport jrxml="#path#/report.jrxml" 
	exportfile="#outpath#/rockn.xls" exporttype="xls"/>

export as PDF using query:
<jr:jasperreport jrxml="#datapath#/cfqueryFood.jrxml" query="#myQuery#" 
	exportfile="#workpath#/cfqueryFood.pdf" exporttype="pdf"/>

export as PDF using datasource name:
<jr:jasperreport jrxml="#datapath#/test.jrxml" dsn="jasperreport" 
	exportfile="#workpath#/rockn.pdf" exporttype="pdf"/>


INSTALLATION

Install from an extension provider, or download a version from here:

http://cfmlprojects.org/artifacts/cfml/cfjasperreport/cfjasperreport/

and unzip it to cfjasperreport in your web root (afterwards you should have {webroot}/cfjasperreport/tag) and then import the taglib::

<cfimport taglib="/cfjasperreport/tag/cfjasperreport" prefix="jr" />

Calling it like so:

<jr:jasperreport jrxml="#datapath#/avery5160.jrxml" exportfile="#workpath#/avery5160.pdf" exporttype="pdf"/>

See ./tests/cfjasperreport/tag/TestTag.cfc for more examples.


DEVELOPMENT

This project leverages cfdistro https://github.com/denuno/cfdistro in the
default location of: $HOME/cfdistro

Any mappings, datasources, etc., are configured via the files in ./build

The extension properties are stored in the build.extension.properties file.
This would be author, extension name, and paths to tag, lib, etc., directories.

To build the extension:
./cfjasperreport build.extension

Build artifact: ./dist/cfjasperreport-${version}-extension.zip

Build and start the development server (defaults to 127.0.0.1:8088):
./cfjasperreport build
./cfjasperreport server.start.fg

The tests are located in ./tests and are mapped to /tests

Tests for the tag:
tests/cfjasperreport/tag

Tests for extension building and installing:
tests/cfjasperreport/extension

There is an H2 datasource for tests called "jasperreports"
