Generate PDF report with Jasper Reports and spring

Question

Hello,

I have a problem generating a report with Jasper Reports in spring.

I did the implementation exactly as stated in method 4 of this explanation: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27532493

When I click the button to generate the report, I am redirected to the link as @Requestmapping and the browser loads the report into the browser’s internal pdf reader.. then the problem begins..

On the desktop, as the browsers have the internal pdf reader, it is loaded but when I save, the file doesn’t even have a name defined (it always stays as Document.pdf).

If I try to generate this same report by a mobile phone (I’m testing on an android), opens the pdf reader that is installed and then error saying that the format is not supported. When I force a link download, a format-free file is downloaded (if I put the . pdf extension in the file it opens normally).

I can change something in this implementation so that when you click the generate report button, it is directed directly to the file. pdf generated to work on both desktop and mobile or for this case I have to do a more "raw" implementation like link method 1 (which I think should work because it defines the name and type of file in Sponse) ?

vlw!

Answer 1

The problem is that the browser is not getting a name for the received file. I have seen systems one the "name" of all the saved reports was relatorio.jsp because this was a view that sent content.

In your case, you can use the method JasperReportsViewResolver.setHeaders() to add the headers as in method 1 of the cited link.

Example:

Properties p = new Properties();
p.setProperty("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=meuRelatorioLegal.pdf")
resolver.setHeaders(p);
