I’ve created a web application using struts2 and hibernate framework.
In my application i planned to use jasper report for reporting, which i used commonly in desktop application for reporting.
In desktop application calling a jasper report is quiet very easy.But in the same way in web application with struts2 and hibernate framework i don’t know how to call a jasper report in jsp.
can anyone please tell me how to integrate jasper report in web apps that use struts2 and hibernate framework

here is my source code what i’ve done so far

Sample.jasper which resides in a default folder with struts.xml and hibernate.conf.xml (its all working in preview mode)

    Take a look at the Struts2 JasperReport Tutorial (next time, before asking a question 😉

    Then, your package should extend jasperreports-default (the specific Interceptor Stack created for working with JasperReports), not struts-default:

    <package name="default" namespace="/" extends="jasperreports-default">

    and your Action should return a Jasper result type:

    <result name="success" type="jasper">
    <param name="location">/jasper/our_compiled_template.jasper</param>
    <param name="dataSource">myList</param>
    <param name="format">PDF</param>
</result>

    Also ensure that you have a recent Struts2 version, most of the options are Struts2 2.1.2+ compatibles…
