I am trying to generate a report powered by a web service.
The idea is that when the user calls the report generation command he (the command) calls a method that will bring back Java Beans from a web service.
In a preliminary test report I see that this is possible, and the method in question can be dynamic (i.e., non-static) and receive parameters, which is good.
But during the visual creation of JRXML in the Jaspersoft Studio tool I see that in order to test the generation of the report it is necessary that the data source (datasource) created in the tool call a method of a class that needs to be static.
Is this requirement really necessary? Or is there a way around it? Or I just resign myself to testing by calling a datasource with static method and then generating the report via code by calling a dynamic method that is all right?
Man, it is. I can get around it. Unfortunately I no longer have access to the source that did exactly that and I need to research on the subject, because I’ve been dealing with it for a long time.
