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.

    "Shipping Name", "Shipping Address", "Shipping State 1", "Shipping State 2", 1000)).toMap();
 }
 
 /**

  */
 public OutputStream getOS(ServletContext context, OutputStream outputStream) {

  parameters.put("IMAGE_PATH", context.getRealPath("/jasper/invoices"));

  InputStream is = context.getResourceAsStream("/jasper/invoices/" + invoiceName);

  try {
   report().setTemplateDesign(is)
     .setDataSource(beanCollectionDataSource)
     .setParameters(parameters).toPdf(outputStream);
  } catch (DRException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }

  return outputStream;
 }

 // setters and getters
 public String getInvoiceName() {
  return invoiceName;
 }

 public void setInvoiceName(String invoiceName) {
  this.invoiceName = invoiceName;
 }

 public JRBeanCollectionDataSource getBeanCollectionDataSource() {
  return beanCollectionDataSource;
 }

 public void setBeanCollectionDataSource(
   JRBeanCollectionDataSource beanCollectionDataSource) {
  this.beanCollectionDataSource = beanCollectionDataSource;
 }

 public void setParameters(Map<String, Object> parameters) {
  this.parameters = parameters;
 }

 public Map<String, Object> getParameters() {
  return parameters;
 }
}

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.
You can find the complete example on my Github from this link:

    The effectiveness of IEEE Project Domains depends very much on the situation in which they are applied. In order to further improve IEEE Final Year Project Domains practices we need to explicitly describe and utilise our knowledge about software domains of software engineering Final Year Project Domains for CSE technologies. This paper suggests a modelling formalism for supporting systematic reuse of software engineering technologies during planning of software projects and improvement programmes in Project Centers in Chennai for CSE.

    Spring Framework has already made serious inroads as an integrated technology stack for building user-facing applications. Spring Framework Corporate TRaining the authors explore the idea of using Java in Big Data platforms.
    Specifically, Spring Framework provides various tasks are geared around preparing data for further analysis and visualization. Spring Training in Chennai

Session ID: CON7535
Session Title: EJB 3.2/JPA 2.1 Best Practice with life examples (Download Link)
Session Type: Conference Session
Session Abstract:
This session’s speaker, an architect, discusses lessons learned from using JPA and EJB to support a high-volume, high-performance applications. These best practices don't only involve JPA/EJB but also its integration with other Java EE 7 technologies. They also include coding best practices, testing and production practices. The presentation focuses primarily on some Key concepts such as persistence context, lazy loading, caching, flushing, dirty checking, transaction and connection demarcation. This is a fast-paced presentation with many code samples. Categories…

Spring Core - Different Types of Bean Injection

Image
1. Overview Dependency Injection is a very common technique in software engineering whereby an object supplies the dependencies of another object. Means that DI is about passing a dependency object to another a dependent object.
Assume we have a client and a service that would be used by the client. We pass the service to the client rather than allowing the client to build it. DI is commonly related to a wide known taxonomy which is Inversion of control aka IoC. But simply, IoC is a more general than the DI. IoC means letting the other code call you rather than insisting od doing the calling.
All of this is managed through the Spring Container which requires some sort of configurations that are presented through XML-based configuration or Annotation-based configuration. We will focus on the Annotation-based one in the below subjects.
2. Maven Configuration We need to make sure that Spring core and JUnited dependencies exists in our pom.xml

PrimeFaces Push with Atmosphere

PrimeFaces Push is based on Atmosphere to establish WebSocket communication in an easy way. Bellow I will share the configuration to be able to do such kind of communication.
1- Adding the PrimeFaces and Atmosphere to the pom.xml for Maven dependency. Also, I added the dependency of the Apache Commons Lang3 to use the StringEscapeUtils while sending the notification message.
<dependency> <groupId>org.atmosphere</groupId> <artifactId>atmosphere-runtime</artifactId> <version>2.1.7</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId> <artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId> <version>3.4</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.primefaces</groupId> <artifactId>primefaces</artifactId> <version>5.0</version> </dependency> 2- The web.xml configuration for the push servlet.
