Question

I want to know do JasperServer accepts xml file as the report data source and whether we can perform same operation on xml nodes that we perform on the various data-source in adhoc report creator like dragging dropping etc.?

Answer 1

Here is the sample Code I tested for xml file as data source and out is PDF report:

    JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport("<Path of jrxml file>");
    JRXmlDataSource xmlDataSource = new JRXmlDataSource("<Path of xml file>", "XPath Query");
    JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, new HashMap(), xmlDataSource);
    JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, "<Path of file PDF output file>");
