I need to integrate Reports within my GWT/SmartGWT web application. I have not found any tutorial that can guide me on how to integrate SmartGWT and Jasper Reports, so I’m concerned whether it’s possible at all.
Please respond if you have any information on this topic.
You won’t find any PDF or reporting libraries that run client-side with GWT. The thing is, all of the processing to generate a report and send it back to the browser needs to be done on the server. Your best bet is to try to check out something like this and learn from the code. While that specific example is for iText, the concepts are exactly the same. That’s about the best you’re going to get until someone decides to release a GWT version of a PDF library.
Eventually, maybe the guys at iText or JasperSoft will decide to make a GWT wrapper for their libraries, but the truth is that it would be (more or less) the same as the link above. Maybe slightly more integrated with GWT.
