How to call a report created with iReport

Question

I am in the following situation: I received several reports created by another developer, who used iReport. He sent me the files .jasper and .jrxml.

I have installed Eclipse Kepler with Jaspersoft plugin.

How can I fire the reports from a JFrame, where I already have all the buttons to make these calls? I use Mysql as BD.

Could someone give a help or an example?

Augusto,

You can do it this way:

        Map parametros = new HashMap();
        String relatorio = "caminhodorelatorio\\arquivo.jasper";
        JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(relatorio, parametros);            
        JasperViewer view = new JasperViewer(jasperPrint, false);
        view.setVisible(true);

It is necessary to place the following Imports in your class:

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint;
import net.sf.jasperreports.view.JasperViewer;

Edit: the variable "parameters" is a parameter of type Map, which must be passed in the fillReport method.

In this variable you can add values to be used in the report, for example: a report title

parametros.put("ReportTitle", "PDF JasperReport");
