JasperViewerFX

The JasperViewerFX is a free JavaFX library. Its goal is avoid usage of default Swing JasperReport's viewer and abstract the java code used to generate output formats.

Features

• Exporting for PDF, HTML, XML (Without images), XLS, XLSX and CSV;
• Zoom in / Zoom Out;
• Minimalist interface completely writen in JavaFX;
• Abstract JasperReports code.

Requirements

This library uses the following JasperReport's dependencies on JasperViewerFX.jar, but if you want to compile source yourself you can download JasperReports and build with ivy.

• commons-beanutils-1.9.3.jar
• commons-collections-3.2.2.jar
• commons-digester-2.1.jar
• commons-javaflow-20160505.jar
• commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
• itext-2.1.7.js6.jar
• jasperreports-6.4.1.jar

How to use

Explaining params

stage: Pass the actual stage that will own the dialog

title: Your Dialog Title

path: An relative path to .jasper

params: An HashMap with params that will be send to report and fill fields with $P{paramname}

connection: JDBC connection with some database

JRBeanCollectionDatasource: For program generated source

Example with JDBC connection

Connection connection = new ConnectionFactory().getConnection();

// Will fill $P tags
Map params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("username", application.getUsername());

JasperViewerFX viewer = new JasperViewerFX(stage, "Title", "relative path to .jasper", params, connection);
viewer.show();

Example with JRBeanCollectionDataSource:

public class Car {
  String model;
  
  public Car(String model) {
    this.model = model;
  }
}

ObservableList<Car> cars = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
cars.add(new Car("Fiat"));

// Bean will fill $F{model}
JRBeanCollectionDataSource array = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource((ObservableList<Car>) cars);

JasperViewerFX viewer = new JasperViewerFX(stage, "Title", "relative path to .jasper", null, array);
viewer.show();
