Question

This is my first time to create a report using iReport plugin in Netbeans 7.1. I have all the records that I need (records were stored in a TableModel) and I want it to set as the datasource to an empty report.

Here’s what I did so far:

1.) I have a TableModel from a ResultSet. (fields: StudentID, FullName, SectionName)

        private TableModel ConvertResultSetToTableModel(ResultSet rs)
        {
             TableModel tb;
             ... // codes here
             return tb;
        }

2.) I added an EmptyReport on my project. The reason why it’s empty is because I do not want iReport to connect to my database server.

3.) This is my sample report (no elegant design yet). How can I bind or fill the fields of the TableModel (fields: StudentID, FullName, SectionName) to the TextField of the iReport ($F{StudentID}, $F{FullName}, $F{SectionName})? And how can I also directly set the $F{CourseName} TextField from a local string variable?

I hope I made everything clear here. Please help. Thank you.

This would be the answer to your question

Jasper reports provides implementation that makes the task of generating reports from tabular formats simple in Swing
applications. In this demonstrations, we will be using Jasper reports 3.6.1, Netbeans 6.1 and Ireport 3.6.1.

Try this code

    private void generateReports(String name, Map param)
{
        try
        {
                String source = "C:/sabonay/jasperreports/" + name + ".jrxml";
                if (new File(source).exists() == false)
                {
                        xputils.showMessage("Please go to setting and Choose report Source");
                        return;
                }

                JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(source);
                JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, param, new JRTableModelDataSource(tbProducts.getModel()));

                JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint, false);

        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
                e.printStackTrace();
                System.out.println("reports Error  " + e.toString());

        }
}
