Report generation Process

1. JRXML: The report fills the template, essentially an XML.
2. Jasper: A binary file compiled by the Jrxml template for the code to populate the data.
3. Jrprint: When the data is populated with the Jasper, the resulting file is used to output the report.
4. Exporter: Decide what format to export the report to, and the management class for report output.
5. Jasperreport can output various formats of the report file, the common Html,pdf,xls and so on.

Template generation: JRXML

The first step, open Jaspersoft, right-click to select Jasper Report, create a simple reporting file

Select a report template, here I choose the simplest blank page, in order to facilitate printing, the size of the choice of A4 paper size. The report page size can also be set manually according to your own needs, will be explained later.

Click Next and a page appears where you can name your report and click Next

Then we get to the page that sets up the data source, because I'm using a MySQL database, so I chose Database JDBC Connection.

The next page is the database link settings, the database name, user name, password here will not repeat. It is important to note that you need to add a database driver

Add the following results:

Then click Finish, the following page appears, on the left is the database and table, the right is the database statement writing area.

Report Build Page

Click Finish and a simple report document is built. The next step is to populate the report with data, as well as some landscaping work.
