Four Ways of Integrating Logi Report Server

To integrate Logi Report Server with your application server, you can either create a Logi Report Server WAR/EAR, or create your WAR/EAR and embed a self-contained Logi Report Server inside it. This topic describes how you can integrate Logi Report Server with your application server using four ways.

For how to create a Logi Report Server WAR/EAR, see Building a WAR/EAR file to Include a Self-contained Logi Report Server.

This topic contains the following sections:

• Integrating by Building a Logi Report Server WAR
• Integrating by Building a Logi Report Server EAR
• Integrating by Building a User WAR and Embedding a Self-contained Logi Report Server
• Integrating by Building a User EAR and Embedding a Self-contained Logi Report Server

Integrating by Building a Logi Report Server WAR

You can deploy the self-contained Logi Report Server as a single WAR file.

For example, you can create a Logi Report Server WAR file named jreport.war and the structure of the Logi Report Server WAR is as follows:

jreport.war

WEB-INF/

web.xml

lib/ -- This folder contains the resources in the Logi Report Server library.

admin/ -- This folder contains JSP files for administration tasks on the Logi Report Server Console.

jinfonet/ -- This folder contains JSP files for the Logi Report Server Console.

dhtmljsp/ --This folder contains JSP files for viewing page reports.

See the following sample of the content in the web.xml file of the Logi Report Server WAR:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, 
Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" 
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"> 
<web-app>
    <listener> 
        <listener-class>jet.server.servlets.JRServerContextListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>jrserver</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>jet.server.servlets.JRServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>sendfile</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>jet.server.servlets.SendFileServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>dhtml</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>jet.web.dhtml.DHTMLlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>help</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>jet.web.dhtml.JHelplet</servlet-class> 
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>jrserver</servlet-name> 
        <url-pattern>/jrserver/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>sendfile</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/sendfile/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>dhtml</servlet-name> 
        <url-pattern>/dhtml/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>help</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/help/*</url-pattern> 
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Integrating by Building a Logi Report Server EAR

You can deploy the self-contained Logi Report Server as a single EAR file.

For example, you can create a Logi Report Server EAR file named jreport.ear and the structure of the Logi Report Server EAR is as follows:

jreport.ear

META-INF/application.xml

jreport-lib/ -- This folder contains the resources in the Logi Report Server library.

jreport.war

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

WEB-INF/web.xml

admin/

jinfonet/

dhtmljsp/

Following the Java EE standard, you should configure the META-INF/application.xml file before deploying the EAR:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN" 
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">
<application>
    <display-name>Self-contained JReport Server</display-name>
    <module id="JReportWebModule">
        <web>
            <web-uri>jreport.war</web-uri>
            <context-root>jreport</context-root>
        </web>
    </module>
</application>

The contents in the web.xml of the Logi Report Server EAR are the same as those in web.xml of the Logi Report Server WAR.

Since the Logi Report Server library is included in jreport-lib of the EAR layer, you must specify Class-Path in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file. Add the content below in the MANIFEST.MF file:

Class-Path: jreport-lib/jrenv.jar jreport-lib/JRESServlets.jar jreport-lib/JREngine.jar ...

Class-Path is a list of the packages in the Logi Report Server library. Each package name should start with the prefix jreport-lib/, and you should use a blank space to separate the package names.

Integrating by Building a User WAR and Embedding a Self-contained Logi Report Server

You can embed a self-contained Logi Report Server into your WAR.

For example, you can create a WAR named MyApp.war, and then embed a self-contained Logi Report Server inside it. The structure of your WAR may be as follows:

MyApp.war

WEB-INF/

web.xml

lib/ -- This folder contains the resources in the Logi Report Server library and your other jar files.

classes/ -- This folder contains your servlet classes.

../../asset/images/

jsp/

If you put the Logi Report WAR related JSPs to a subfolder, for example jreport, the structure of your WAR may be as follows:

MyApp.war

WEB-INF/

web.xml

lib/ -- This folder contains the resources in the Logi Report Server library and your other jar files.

classes/ -- This folder contains your servlet classes.

../../asset/images/

jreport/

admin/

dhtmljsp/

jinfonet/

...

To run Logi Report reports, you need to add the following into WEB-INF/web.xml:

• Add the following entry:

  <context-param>
      <param-name>autoDetectServletPath</param-name>
      <param-value>false</param-value>
  </context-param>

• Add listener:

  <listener>
      <listener-class>jet.server.servlets.JRServerContextListener</listener-class>
  </listener>

• Add filter and servlet:

  <filter>
      <filter-name>Character Encoding</filter-name>
      <filter-class>jet.server.servlets.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
      <init-param>
          <param-name>encoding</param-name>
          <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
      </init-param>
      <init-param>
          <param-name>excludedFiles</param-name>
          <param-value>.css,.js,.png,.svg,.pdf,.rtf,.xls,.xml,.xlsx,.gif,.ico,.rpt,.cls,.jpg,.jpeg,.zip,.jz</param-value>
      </init-param>
  </filter>
  
  <filter>
      <filter-name>JzFileFilter</filter-name>
      <filter-class>com.jinfonet.web.client.RespHeaderFilter</filter-class>
      <init-param>
          <param-name>Content-Type</param-name>
          <param-value>application/x-javascript</param-value>
      </init-param>
      <init-param>
          <param-name>Content-Encoding</param-name>
          <param-value>gzip</param-value>
      </init-param>
  </filter>
  
  <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>JzFileFilter</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>*.jz</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
  
  <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>Character Encoding</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

      <url-pattern>/vt/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

Integrating by Building a User EAR and Embedding a Self-contained Logi Report Server

You can embed a self-contained Logi Report Server into your EAR in order to use Logi Report Server from EJB.

For example, you can create an EAR named MyApp.ear and then embed a self-contained Logi Report Server inside it. In the EAR, there is an EJB module used for initializing Logi Report Server. The structure of your EAR may be as follows:

MyEAR.ear

META-INF/application.xml

jreport-lib/ -- This folder contains the resources in the Logi Report Server library.

MyEjb.jar

META-INF/

MANIFEST.MF

ejb-jar.xml

com/

Following the Java EE standard, you should configure the META-INF/application.xml file before deploying your EAR:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN" 
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">
<application>
    <display-name>EJB with Embedded Logi Report Server</display-name>
    <module id="MyEJBModule">
        <ejb>MyEjb.jar</ejb>
    </module>
</application>

Since the Logi Report Server library is included in the jreport-lib folder of the EAR layer, you must specify Class-Path in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file. Add the content below in the MANIFEST.MF file:

Class-Path: jreport-lib/jrenv.jar jreport-lib/JRESServlets.jar jreport-lib/JREngine.jar ...

Class-Path is a list of the packages in the Logi Report Server library. Each package name should start with the prefix jreport-lib/, and you should use a blank space to separate the package names.

If you do not want to set the reporthome for the embedded self-contained Logi Report Server, but instead want to use Logi Report's default settings, there is no requirement for configuring the ejb-jar.xml. However, if you want to control the reporthome of Logi Report Server, or specify a JNDI data source for Logi Report Server to use, you should first configure the ejb-jar.xml file using the <env-entry></env-entry> tags. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN" 
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">
<ejb-jar id="ejb-jar_ID">
    <display-name>MyEJB</display-name>
    <enterprise-beans>
        <session id="LogiReportEJB">
            <ejb-name>JRptServer</ejb-name>
            <home>demo.JRptServerHome</home>
            <remote>demo.JRptServer</remote>
            <ejb-class>demo.JRptServerBean</ejb-class>
            <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
            <!-- Specify Logi Report reporthome directly
                <env-entry>
                <env-entry-name>jreport.rpthome</env-entry-name>
                <env-entry-value>/home/jreport</env-entry-value>
                <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
                </env-entry>
            -->
            <!-- Logi Report callback my CustomizedServerEnv -->
            <env-entry>
                <env-entry-name>jreport.servenv</env-entry-name>
                <env-entry-value>demo.LogiReportServerEnv</env-entry-value>
                <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
            </env-entry>
            <transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type>
        </session>
    </enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>
