DynamicReports and JasperReports with JSF, Servlet and CDI

In this example, I will show how to integrate DynamicReport and JasperReports with Servlet and CDI.
Tools:

• TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio-6.0.4.final.
• Eclipse  Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2).
• WildFly 8.x application server.

This is a screenshot from the project hierarchy on Eclipse.

1- The pom.xml file contains the required dependencies for the Servlets + JSF + CDI + DynamicReports.

2- Creating a simple JRXML template using the TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio containing an image that will pass its path dynamically as a parameter from the DynamicReportsManagedBean to the DynamicReports later on.

3- Creating an Item class that will be the model object containing the data that be binded to the JRXML template fields. Also, I created an InvoiceDetails class that will have the data that will be binded to the JRXML template parameters.

package com.ithinkisink.model;

/**
 * 
 * @author Belal
 *
 */
public class Item {

 private String itemNo;
 private String description;
 private double unitCost;
 private int quantity;
 
 public Item(String itemNo, String description, double unitCost, int quantity) {
  super();
  this.itemNo = itemNo;
  this.description = description;
  this.unitCost = unitCost;
  this.quantity = quantity;
 }

 public String getItemNo() {
  return itemNo;
 }

 public void setItemNo(String itemNo) {
  this.itemNo = itemNo;
 }

 public String getDescription() {
  return description;
 }

 public void setDescription(String description) {
  this.description = description;
 }

 public double getUnitCost() {
  return unitCost;
 }

 public void setUnitCost(double unitCost) {
  this.unitCost = unitCost;
 }

 public int getQuantity() {
  return quantity;
 }

 public void setQuantity(int quantity) {
  this.quantity = quantity;
 }
}

4- The DynamicReportsManagedBean will be responsible to prepare the parameters map and the JRBeanCollectionDataSource containing List<Item> that will be binded to the JRXML fields.

    new Item("02", "Item 02 description", 2.2, 2),
    new Item("03", "Item 03 description", 3.3, 3)));
  beanCollectionDataSource = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(itemList);
  
  parameters = (new InvoiceDetails("INV#01", "Billing Company", "Billing Company Add",

5- The CDI enables us to inject an instance of the DynamicReportsManagedBean  to the DynamicReportsServlet. The servlet will handle the response output stream which will present the created output stream from the DynamicReports of the template.

package com.ithinkisink.servlet;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;

import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import com.ithinkisink.managedbean.DynamicReportsManagedBean;

/**
 * 
 * @author Belal
 *
 */
public class DynamicReportsServlet extends HttpServlet {
 private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

 @Inject
 private DynamicReportsManagedBean dynamicReportsManagedBean;
 
 @Override
 protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
   throws ServletException, IOException {
  resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
  OutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
  out = dynamicReportsManagedBean.getOS(getServletContext(), out);
  out.close();
 }
 
 @Override
 protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
   throws ServletException, IOException {
  super.doPost(req, resp);
  this.doGet(req, resp);
 }
 
 public void setDynamicReportsManagedBean(
   DynamicReportsManagedBean dynamicReportsManagedBean) {
  this.dynamicReportsManagedBean = dynamicReportsManagedBean;
 }
 
 public DynamicReportsManagedBean getDynamicReportsManagedBean() {
  return dynamicReportsManagedBean;
 }
}

6- I prefer the old school in adding the servlet to the web.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">

 <display-name>DynamicReportsWithJSFServletsAndCDI Maven Webapp</display-name>

 <servlet>
  <description></description>
  <display-name>DynamicReportsServlet</display-name>
  <servlet-name>DynamicReportsServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.ithinkisink.servlet.DynamicReportsServlet</servlet-class>
 </servlet>
 <servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>DynamicReportsServlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 
 <welcome-file-list>
  <welcome-file>/index.xhtml</welcome-file>
 </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

7- The index.xhtml contains an <iframe> that points to the servlet.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">

<h:head>
 <title>DynamicReports with Servlets, JSF and CDI</title>
</h:head>

<h:body>
 <h:form>
  <iframe name="receipt" height="600" id="theIFrame" width="100%"
   src="http://localhost:8080/DynamicReportsWithJSFServletsAndCDI" />
 </h:form>
</h:body>

</html>

8- The final output by running the example.
