User must ensure that the COMMAND LINE does not have any hash at the BEGINNING of the line after it is updated. Because in such CASE it would no more be command line but would become comment only.

The command line for CHANGING the VERSION of Java used by the IREPORT is jdkhome=”C:PROGRAM FilesJavajdk1.7″

The command line for changing the version of Java used by the iReport is jdkhome=”C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7″

To change the version of Java USED by iReport, the following setting has to be added or UPDATED. <irepor-install-directory>/fonf/ireportpro.conf or <ireport-install-directory>/ireport/etc/ireportpro.conf. The use of the command line WOULD DEPEND on the installation MADE.

When the jdkhome is SET specifically for the IREPORT, opening a command line and going to the bin DIRECTORY within the listed directories in the setting for executing the command JAVA-VERSION would help identifying the java version.

When iReport designer is using the default Java installation for the environment, opening a COMMAND LINE and executing the FOLLOWING command WOULD help – java-version.

In order to DETERMINE the SPECIFIC version of Java used by the INSTALLATION of IREPORT designer, the SETTING in thecon/ireporpro.con or in the ireport/etc/ireportpro.con should be used.

XML FILES are REQUIRED for CONFIGURATION of IREPORT.

XML files are required for configuration of iReport.

Some of the system requirements for the IREPORT are Sun JDK 1.4 or greater, ANT, JasperReports 0.4.6, Sax 2.0 XML Parser, a host of Jakarta COMMONS components and Acrobat READER

BASICALLY is a VISUAL DESIGNER for the JASPERREPORTS.

Basically is a visual designer for the JasperReports.

It is not NECESSARY installing JasperReport in the SYSTEM. INSTEAD searching the system and setting the java.exe and SET it to JAVA_HOMW would take care of the problem.

If at all; only quality documentation PACKAGE should be USED and the iReport should not have any CIRCULAR references that would create unnecessary problems.

The documentation of IREPORT should be CARRIED out by the USER and not with some readymade packages that are MOSTLY not fruitful for the PURPOSE.

SETTING up the JAVA_HOME ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE with PATH as C:\Program Files\jasperserver-pro-3.7\java\jre can address the PROBLEM.

YES it is possible using a set of controls in Java. The USER has full CONTROL on what he or she passes and what he or she RECEIVED in Java.

There is a PDF EXPORT that WOULD show exactly how the report LOOKS.

Other user DEFINED functions in iReport are $P{REPORT SCRIPTLET}.userDefinedfun($F{FIELD}). These functions give FLUIDITY to Java from the Jasper to Java code. 

Other user defined functions in iReport are $P{REPORT SCRIPTLET}.userDefinedfun($F{field}). These functions give fluidity to Java from the Jasper to Java code. 

<P>The user DEFINED function is used with the $ P{REPORT SCRIPTLET}.userDefinedFun(). This function RETURNS values from the scriptlet.

The user defined function is used with the $ P{REPORT SCRIPTLET}.userDefinedFun(). This function returns values from the scriptlet.

<P>The parameter in iReport for using the user defined function is $P{REPORT SCRIPTLET} which is a predefined parameter for the user. 

The parameter in iReport for using the user defined function is $P{REPORT SCRIPTLET} which is a predefined parameter for the user. 

The CLASS containing the USER defined functions NEEDS to be extended by the JRDefaultScriptlet.

In IREPORT JAR is MADE on BUILDING the project containing the SCRIPTLET. 

In iReport JAR is made on building the project containing the Scriptlet. 

A few simple steps help to run the user defined FUNCTIONS. The first STEP is to go to Tools-options- claspath tab –ADD JAR- choose Jar file. In iReport the Scriptlet node in Report Inspector chooses the property named ‘Scriplet CLASS’. Keying in the location of the user defined function would help.

Scriptlets are the bridges that get the Java Code in IREPORT. iReport.scriptlet is a Java class that extends JRDefaultScriptlet where ONE can write user DEFINED functions that can LATER be accessed easily in the report.

USER has to first check WHETHER he or she is running the program in a CONTAINER or as standalone. Checking this would ENABLE the person to get the RIGHT JAVA_HOME version for running the iReport.

The CONFIG file is available in the etc folder where the jdkhome has been set. The path that is to be GIVEN there is the JDK path and not JRE path. Installation of jdk is essential for the purpose.
