A. What is a Report?
A report is a nicely formatted way of presenting the data that you have entered. Reports are all about querying a database and displaying the results
in a nice format. Data in the database may be displayed just as is, that is, in hundreds of pages. However, most of the time, reports are used to grasp
information out of a bunch of data. This is mainly done by charts which are graphical representations of information. When the data is processed to
fill out a report, calculations are done over the specific fields of the entries. The results appear as bars or pies in a chart or as text at the end of the
report.

Many of the commercially available reporting tools have the following layout for a report page.

Figure 1: General Report Template

title appears only once at the very beginning of the report. Title of the report is written in this part. eg. “Employee Performance Report”

pageHeader appears at the top of each page. This part may contain date and time information and/or organization name.

columnHeader lists names of those specific fields which you want to display. eg. “Employee Name”, “Starting Hour”, “Finishing Hour”, “Hours
Worked”, “Date”

detail is the part where those fields of the entries are shown. eg. “John Doe”, “09:00”, “18:00”, “9”, “16.07.2004”

columnFooter may display summation of any of the fields. eg. “Total Hours Worked: 180”

pageFooter appears at the bottom of each page. This part may contain page count information like “1/7”.

summary is the part where information inferred from the data in the “detail” part is displayed. For example, after listing the worked
hours for each employee in “detail” part, total hours worked for each employee can be put in a pie to enable a better visual
comparison between the employees.

B. How are JasperReports, iReport and JFreeChart related?

JasperReports
JasperReports is an engine that takes an XML file and forms a report out of that file using the data source specified in the XML file. A
sample XML file is given in Appendix A. This file defines exactly what appears where in the report. Writing this file by hand is not
practical. This is where iReport comes into play.

For more information on JasperReports, see

http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/tutorial/index.html

iReport
iReport is a visual tool to obtain XML files for JasperReports. It provides a WYSIWYG environment to design reports. Sample.jrxml in
Appendix A is obtained using iReport.
Anything that can be placed in a report (static text, geometric shapes, images, subreports, groups, texts and images coming from a
data source)can be put together in drag’n’drop fashion according to the report template shown in Figure 1.

For more information on JasperReports, see

http://ireport.sourceforge.net/docs.html

JFreeChart
JFreeChart is a free Java class library for generating charts. Several chart types are supported such as pie charts (2D and 3D), bar
charts (regular and stacked, with an optional 3D effect), line and area charts, scatter plots and bubble charts, time series,
high/low/open/close charts and candle stick charts, combination charts, Pareto charts, Gantt charts, wind plots, meter charts and
symbol charts, wafer map charts. This library is used to create the images of the charts which we want to embed into the report.

For more information on JasperReports, use

keyword "The JFreeChart Class Library"

C. Creating a Sample Report with JasperReports, iReport and JFreeChart

A sample report which shows work hours of employees will be created. Report will be created based on the following database
entries shown in Figure 2. Any database can be used as long as you can obtain a reference to a java.sql.Connection.

We want to show the same data in the table, however in a different format, for example, all entries for each employee grouped
together. We also want to display the total hours worked for each employee. And finally, to give a comparison among the employees,
we want to display these information in a chart. Figure 3 shows what we want to obtain.

Figure 3: Desired Final Report

Creating the XML File for JasperReports using iReport

Start by creating a new document in iReport. (File-New Document) In the report properties screen, specify the report name as
“EmployeeReport” and confirm other default values.
Before proceeding further, bear the following in mind:
• Use Edit-Insert Element to insert different types of elements into the report. After selecting the element, you will see that the
cursor turns into a “+” sign. Pressing the left button of the mouse and dragging it, specify the bounds of the inserted element.
Double-clicking on the element opens the property dialog, use this dialog to edit element properties. Property names are
mostly self-explanatory.
• Dynamic content of the report is provided by three things. 1. Parameters 2. Fields 3. Variables. All these three are added to
the report as “Text Field”s through Edit-Insert element-Text field.
• To specify a text field’s content to come from a Parameter, specify the Text field expression in the property dialog of the
element like the following: $P{parameterName}

Information Technologies
• Similarly, to specify a text field’s content to come from a field, specify the Text field expression in the property dialog of the
element like the following: $F{fieldName} fieldName can only be columns in a table of the database. In our case, fieldName
can be any of “EmployeeName”, “HoursWorked”, “Date”.
• Similarly, to specify a text field’s content to come from a variable, specify the Text field expression in the property dialog of
the element like the following: $V{variableName}
• After specifying a text field’s content to come from either a Parameter, a Field or a Variable, you should define the
corresponding content name in “Report Fields”, “Report Parameters” or “Report Varibles” through “View-Report Fields”,
“View-Report Parameters” or “View-Report Variables”.
• By defining a “Report parameter”, we ensure that we will provide the JasperReport compiler with a Hashtable having an entry
with key=”parameterName” and value=”parameterValue” prior to the compilation of the report.
• Similarly, by defining a “Report field”, we ensure that resultset obtained by “Report Query” will contain a column named
“fieldName”.
• Variables are of two types: builtin variables or non-builtin variables. You will see examples of both in a few moments.

First, insert a static text as the title of report.

Specify title to be “Employee Work Hours Report”. Using geometric shapes, the appearance of the report can be enhanced. However,
for the time being, we won’t bother with the aesthetics.

To add a group to the report, press the “Groups” icon. On the opened dialog, press New. Specify group name as “employee” and
group expression as “$F{EmployeeName}”, press OK with other fields in default values. You will see that two new bands are added
as “employeeHeader” and “employeeFooter”.
According to the instructions given above, obtain the design in Figure 4. Specify the Report Query through Edit-Report query as
“SELECT * FROM tutorial_table ORDER BY EmployeeName”. “Order by” is necessary because we created “employee” group with
group expression “$F{EmployeeName}”

Figure 4: Final iReport Design

Notice that you can refer to the final XML file in Appendix A whenever you have a question about forming the above design. Finally
save your design and compile it, you will have a jrxml file.

Creating the Final Report using JasperReports

After obtaining the jrxml file, it is only a few steps to obtaining the final report. The following code segment taken from sample.java
given in Appendix B is all to get the final report viewed in a PDF viewer.

// First, load JasperDesign from XML and compile it into JasperReport

JasperDesign jasperDesign = JasperManager.loadXmlDesign("path-to-your-jrxml-file\\sample.jrxml");
JasperReport jasperReport = JasperManager.compileReport(jasperDesign);

// Second, create a map of parameters to pass to the report.

Map parameters = new HashMap();
parameters.put("employeeChart", createEmployeeChartImage());

// Third, get a database connection

Connection conn = Database.getConnection();

// Fourth, create JasperPrint using fillReport() method

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, conn);

// You can use JasperPrint to create PDF

JasperManager.printReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, "desired-path\\SampleReport.pdf");

// Or to view report in the JasperViewer

JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint);

// Or create HTML Report

JasperExportManager.exportReportToHtmlFile(jasperPrint, "desired-path\\SampleReport.html");

Figure 5: From XML to the final report by JasperReports

One advantage of JasperReports is that it can export the final print to an HTML file which makes dynamic reporting possible in web
pages. The last line in Figure 5 exports the report to an HTML file.

Creating Report Images using JFreeChart

Notice the createEmployeeChartImage() method in Figure 5. This part is where JFreeChart library is used. As stated earlier, this
library can be used to obtain different types of charts. In JFreeChart library, mainly what is done is to create an appropriate dataset
for the chart type. Then it is a one line code to create the chart with the dataset and another line to embed the chart image into the
report. Follwing are sample codes to form different types of charts available with JFreeChart.

Pie Chart
The following code segment taken from sample.java given in Appendix B demonstrates the process of creating a java.awt.Image
object from scratch.

// create a dataset
DefaultPieDataset data = new DefaultPieDataset();

// fill dataset with employeeData

for(java.util.Enumeration e = employeeData.keys(); e.hasMoreElements();)
{
String employeeName = (String)e.nextElement();
data.setValue(employeeName, (Double)employeeData.get(employeeName));
}

// create a chart with the dataset

JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createPieChart("Employee Chart", data, true, true, true);

// create and return the image with the size specified in the XML design
return chart.createBufferedImage(500, 220);

Bar Chart
// create a dataset
DefaultCategoryDataset defaultCategoryDataset = new DefaultCategoryDataset();
String s = "Employee";

// fill dataset with employeeData

for(java.util.Enumeration e = employeeData.keys(); e.hasMoreElements();)
{
String employeeName = (String)e.nextElement();
defaultCategoryDataset.addValue((Double)employeeData.get(employeeName), s, employeeName);
}

// create a chart with the dataset

JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createBarChart3D
("Employee Chart", // Title
"Employee", // X-Axis label
"Total Hours Worked", // Y-Axis label
(CategoryDataset)defaultCategoryDataset, // Dataset
PlotOrientation.VERTICAL,
true, // Show legend
true,
true
);

// create and return the image with the size specified in the XML design
return chart.createBufferedImage(500, 220);

Hints

• In order not to experience problems when displaying texts in the report, select the encoding of the XML file as UTF-8 and
write local characters in their UTF-8 forms.

ç \u00e7 c with cedilla

Ç \u00c7 C with cedilla
ğ \u011f g with a line at top
Ğ \u011e G with a line at top
ı \u0131 i without dot
İ \u0130 I with a dot
ö \u00f6 o with double dots
Ö \u00d6 O with double dots
ş \u015f s with cedilla
Ş \u015e S with cedilla
ü \u00fc u with double dots
Ü \u00dc U with double dots
Table 1: List of non-Latin Turkish letters and their UTF-8 correspondants.

• On a Windows system, after the installation of iReport, if iReport fails to create .iReport/config.xml under your home directory,
create the directory named .iReport under your home directory in a command prompt yourself by “mkdir .iReport”.
