JasperStarter Binary Package
============================

[](#jasperstarter-binary-package)

This repository contains the files from JasperStarter binary releases obtained directly from [Sourceforge](http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperstarter/) without any modifications in order to provide it as a package for package managers such as composer.

#### Issues

[](#issues)

Issues opened on this repository must be related to the package manager files (such as composer.json) or notices about new releases of JasperStarter, for issues with JasperStarter itself refer to [Feedback](#feedback).

#### Package version information

[](#package-version-information)

The 3 first numbers of the version corresponds to the JasperStarter version and the 4th number is used to advance the version of the package for changes made to other files in this repository. So v3.2.1.1 corresponds to JasperStarter v3.2.1 and revision 1 of this repository after that version of JasperStarter was included.

Original JasperStarter README:

> ## JasperStarter - Running JasperReports from command line
>
> [](#jasperstarter---running-jasperreports-from-command-line)
>
> JasperStarter is an opensource command line launcher and batch compiler for [JasperReports](http://community.jaspersoft.com/project/jasperreports-library).
>
> The official homepage is [jasperstater.cenote.de](http://jasperstarter.cenote.de/).
>
> It has the following features:
>
> - Run any JasperReport that needs a jdbc, csv, xml, json, jsonql or empty datasource
> - Use with any database for which a jdbc driver is available
> - Run reports with subreports
> - Execute reports that need runtime parameters. Any parameter whose class has a string constructor is accepted. Additionally the following types are supported or have special handlers:
>     - date, image (see usage), locale
> - Optionally prompt for report parameters
> - Print directly to system default or given printer
> - Optionally show printer dialog to choose printer
> - Optionally show printpreview
> - Export to file in the following formats:
>     - pdf, rtf, xls, xlsMeta, xlsx, docx, odt, ods, pptx, csv, csvMeta, html, xhtml, xml, jrprint
> - Export multiple formats in one commanding call
> - Compile, print and export in one commanding call
> - View, print or export previously filled reports (use jrprint file as input)
> - Can compile a whole directory of .jrxml files.
> - Integrate in non Java applications (for example PHP, Python)
> - Binary executable on Windows
> - Includes JasperReports so this is the only tool you need to install
> - "Diskless" operation using stdin and stdout for input data and output.
>
> Requirements:
>
> - Java 1.8 or higher
> - A JDBC 2.1 driver for your database
>
> ### Quickstart
>
> [](#quickstart)
>
> - Download JasperStarter from [Sourceforge](http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperstarter/).
> - Extract the distribution archive to any directory on your system.
> - Add the *./bin* directory of your installation to your searchpath (on Windows: invoke setup.exe).
> - Put your jdbc drivers in the *./jdbc* directory of your installation or use *--jdbc-dir* to point to a different directory.
>
> Invoke JasperStarter with *-h* to get an overview:
>
> $ jasperstarter -h
>
> Invoke JasperStarter with *process -h* to get help on the process command:
>
> $ jasperstarter process -h
>
> Example with reportparameters:
>
> $ jasperstarter pr report.jasper -t mysql -u myuser -f pdf -H myhost
> -n mydb -o report -p secret -P CustomerNo=10 StartFrom=2012-10-01
>
> Example with hsql using database type generic:
>
> $ jasperstarter pr report.jasper -t generic -f pdf -o report -u sa
> \--db-driver org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
> \--db-url jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost
>
> For more information take a look in the docs directory of the distibution archive or read the [Usage](http://jasperstarter.sourceforge.net/usage.html) page online.
>
> ### Python Integration using public API
>
> [](#python-integration-using-public-api)
>
> JasperStarter exposes an API which can be used with [jpy](https://github.com/bcdev/jpy) to provide direct access from Python:
>
>
> # Load the JVM. See the jpy docs for details.
>
> [](#load-the-jvm-see-the-jpy-docs-for-details)
>
>
> import jpyutil jpyutil.init\_jvm(jvm\_maxmem='512M', jvm\_classpath=\['.../jasperstarter.jar'\])
>
>
> # Load the Java types needed.
>
> [](#load-the-java-types-needed)
>
>
> import jpy Arrays = jpy.get\_type('java.util.Arrays') File = jpy.get\_type('java.io.File') Report = jpy.get\_type('de.cenote.jasperstarter.Report') Config = jpy.get\_type('de.cenote.jasperstarter.Config') DsType = jpy.get\_type('de.cenote.jasperstarter.types.DsType')
>
>
> # Create the JasperStarter configuration. See Config.java for details.
>
> [](#create-the-jasperstarter-configuration-see-configjava-for-details)
>
>
> config = Config() config.setInput('jsonql.jrxml') config.setOutput('contacts.pdf') config.setDbType(DsType.json) config.setDataFile(File('contacts.json')) config.setJsonQuery('contacts.person') config.setOutputFormats(Arrays.asList(\[\]))
>
>
> # Run the report. See Report.java for details.
>
> [](#run-the-report-see-reportjava-for-details)
>
>
> instance = Report(config, File(config.getInput())) instance.fill() instance.exportPdf()
>
> See the examples/python directory for a fuller example.

> ### Feedback
>
> [](#feedback)
>
> Feedback is always welcome! If you have any questions or proposals, don't hesitate to write to our [discussion](http://sourceforge.net/p/jasperstarter/discussion/) forum.

>
> If you like the software you can write a [review](http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperstarter/reviews) :-)
>
> ### Development
>
> [](#development)
>
> The sourcecode is available at [bitbucket.org/cenote/jasperstarter](http://bitbucket.org/cenote/jasperstarter), the project website is hosted at [Sourceforge](http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperstarter/).
>
> JasperStarter is build with [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/).
>
> On Linux 64 bit the launch4j-maven-plugin may fail. In this case, may you need the following libs in a 32 bit version:
>
> - z1
> - ncurses5
> - bz2-1.0
>
> Install on Ubuntu 14.04 or above:
>
> $ sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0
>
> Install on Fedora 27 or above:
>
> $sudo dnf install ncurses-compat-libs.i686
>
> To get a distribution package run:
>
> $ mvn package -P release
>
> or if you build from the current default branch you better use:
>
> $ mvn package -P release,snapshot
>
> **Attention! You cannot execute** `target/jasperstarter.jar`**without having it's dependencies in** `../lib` ! See **dev** profile below!
>
> If you want to build the Windows setup.exe, you need to have *nsis* in your search path (works on linux too, you can find a compiled release in the sourceforge download folder *build-tools* for your convenience) an add the **windows-setup** profile to your build:
>
> $ mvn package -P release,windows-setup
>
> or
>
> $ mvn package -P release,windows-setup,snapshot
>
> While developing you may want to have a quicker build. The **dev** profile excludes some long running reports and the compressed archives. Instead it puts the build result into *target/jasperstarter-dev-bin*.
>
> $ mvn package -P dev
>
> Now you can execute JasperStarter without IDE:
>
> $ target/jasperstarter-dev-bin/bin/jasperstarter
>
> or
>
> $ java -jar target/jasperstarter-dev-bin/lib/jasperstarter.jar
>
> During development you might want not to be annoyed by tests. So the following options are useful:
>
> $ mvn package -P dev -D skipTests
>
> or
>
> $ mvn package -P dev -D maven.test.failure.ignore=true
>
> To run JasperStarter from within your IDE add *--jdbc-dir jdbc* to the argument list of your run configuration. Otherwise you will get an error:
>
> Error, (...)/JasperStarter/target/classes/jdbc is not a directory!
>
> Put your jdbc drivers in the *./jdbc* directory of the project to invoke JasperStarter from within your IDE to call up a database based report.
