Hi guys,

this article has been published already two years ago in the ODTUG magazine, but it should still work the same way:

If you have any issues, please let me know.

Cheers,

Hi Dietmar,
I'm new to APEX and Jasper Reports. I've installed it successfully. It's a really nice tool and it was needed. Because not every firm can afford it to buy licenses at the cost of BI Publisher.
Is it possible to integrate a report generated by JasperReports to the download button on the reports region? I mean I dont want to add a button to the region, just use the download button...

Hi meltem,

well, it is possible to add that to the classic reports, not the interactive ones. With classic reports you can supply a column specific report template.

I did implement that a while ago as a proof of concept but never made that available. It is not finished yet.

For interactive reports you can only supply a generic template and therefore you can only output the data as a simple list, nothing spectacular.

So your best bet is using the JasperReportsIntegration as it is and create the button for it ;).

Cheers and good luck,
~Dietmar.

Hi,

this is not enough information, please be more precise.

What query? In the report itself?

Does the report work within the ireport designer?

what versions of ireport, jasperReportIntegration are you using?

What error message do you get? please use the html format, then you get better error messages.

cheers,

Hi Dietmar,
I'm having difficulty getting Apex to integrate with Jasperreports. I'm using Oracle xe 11g and Apex 4.2.2. I installed your integration software, created and called a test Jasper report, using your example. I first got errors relating to missing ACL entries. I think I have overcome this, but now when I call the Jasper report I'm getting error 401 (unauthorised access) in my Firefox browser. This seems to be related to a username or password issue. I'm providing the username BUSMAS which is my apex username, but Don't know if or how I can provide a password.

Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you.
Nick.
