Getting Started

To help you start using the Design API, here is a simple example which shows how to use the JReport Design API package to compile and run a Java class that returns the connection information from a catalog file.

1. Compile the sample code TellMeConnection.java in <install_root>\help\samples\APICatalog (make sure that the path of the file JREngine.jar is before that of the file report.jar).

   javac -classpath <install_root>\lib\JREngine.jar;<install_root>\lib\sac-1.3.jar;<install_root>\lib\report.jar TellMeConnection.java

2. Set the license key for Design API using the method dr.setUserInfo("UID","XXXXXXXXXXX") in TellMeConnection.java.
3. Run the sample code.

   java -classpath ".;<install_root>\lib\JREngine.jar;<install_root>\lib\report.jar;<install_root>\lib\sac-1.3.jar;<install_root>\lib\log4j-core-2.7.jar;<install_root>\lib\log4j-api-2.7.jar" -Dreporthome=<install_root> TellMeConnection –path=<catalog path> -catalog=<catalog name>

   For example,

   java -classpath "C:\JReport\Designer\lib\JREngine.jar;C:\JReport\Designer\lib\report.jar;C:\JReport\Designer\lib\sac-1.3.jar;C:\JReport\Designer\lib\log4j-core-2.7.jar;C:\JReport\Designer\lib\log4j-api-2.7.jar;C:\JReport\Designer\lib\hsqldb-2.3.4.jar" -Dreporthome=C:\JReport\Designer TellMeConnection -path=C:\JReport\Designer\Demo\Reports\TutorialReports -catalog=JinfonetGourmetJava.cat

   And the output should be as follows:

   Name: Jinfonet demo
   Driver: org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
   URL: jdbc:hsqldb:c:\JReport\Designer\Demo\db\JRDemo
   User: sa
   Password
   TimestampFormat: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
   TimeFormat: HH:mm:ss
   DateFormat: yyyy-MM-dd
   ExtraNamePattern: Default(JDBC)
