Changing the Server Context Path

Changing standalone server context path

Changing integrated server context path

In some circumstances you may want to change the server context path for accessing JReport Server console and running JReport reports. This section introduces how to do this in a standalone or an integrated environment.

After the context path is changed, when working on JReport Server via URLs, the new context path should be used in the URLs.

Changing standalone server context path

JReport has the following URL configuration for accessing JReport Server console and running JReport reports in a standalone environment:

http://<hostname>:8888/jrserver
http://<hostname>:8888/jinfonet/index.jsp
http://<hostname>:8888/dhtmljsp/...
http://localhost:8888/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8
http://localhost:8888/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fCorporate Overview.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat

You may want to change the server context path to /jrp and the URLs will be:

http://<hostname>:8888/jrp/jrserver
http://<hostname>:8888/jrp/jinfonet/index.jsp
http://<hostname>:8888/jrp/dhtmljsp/...
http://localhost:8888/jrp/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8
http://localhost:8888/jrp/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fCorporate Overview.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat

To do this:

1. Copy all contents in <install_root>\public_html to <install_root>\public_html\jrp.
2. Modify the following property values in server.properties in <install>\bin directory by adding "/jrp":

   web.design_servlet_path=/jrp/webreporting
web.dhtml_jsp_path=/jrp/dhtmljsp
web.dhtml_servlet_path=/jrp/dhtml
web.help_servlet_path=/jrp/help
web.jreport_servlet_path=/jrp/jrserver
web.skin.dir=/jrp/skin

3. Modify the value of jsp_path in redirect.properties in <install>\bin directory by adding "/jrp":

   jsp_path=/jrp/jinfonet/

4. Modify mapping.properties in <install>\bin directory by adding "/jrp":

   # Map servlets to paths # Properties beginning with a . are extension properties, all other # properties are path properties # # Format: # path or extension = servlet name /jrp/jrserver=jrserver /servlet/sendfile=sendfile /jrp/dhtml=dhtml /jrp/help=help .jsp=jspservlet

5. Start the server and access the server by the URLs:

   http://localhost:8888/jrp/jrserver
http://localhost:8888/jrp/jinfonet/index.jsp

   Run a report in Page Report Studio by the URL:

   http://localhost:8888/jrp/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fEmployee Information List.cls

Changing integrated server context path

Supposing that all server resources are deployed to the context root folder jreport\ after deploying JReport Server to an application server.

You can use the following URLs for accessing JReport Server service console and running JReport reports in the integrated environment:

http://<hostname>:port/jreport/jinfonet/index.jsp
http://<hostname>:port/jreport/dhtmljsp/...
http://localhost:8888/jreport/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8
http://localhost:8888/jreport/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fCorporate Overview.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat

You may want to change the server context path to /jreport/myjsp and the URLs will be:

http://<hostname>:port/jreport/myjsp/jinfonet/index.jsp
http://<hostname>:port/jreport/myjsp/dhtmljsp/...
http://localhost:8888/jreport/myjsp/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8
http://localhost:8888/jreport/myjsp/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fCorporate Overview.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat

To do this:

1. Move index.htm and the following folders from jreport\ to jreport\myjsp\:

   admin
   dhtmljsp
   images
   javascript
   jinfonet
   skin
   style

2. Create a file jrserver.properties in the \WEB-INF directory, add the skin and dhtmljsp properties and provide the correct paths (the context root is excluded):

   web.skin.dir=/myjsp/skin
web.dhtml_jsp_path=/myjsp/dhtmljsp

3. Access the server by the URL: http://<hostname>:port/jreport/myjsp/jinfonet/index.jsp

   Run a report in Page Report Studio by the URL:

   http://<hostname>:port/jreport/myjsp/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fEmployee Information List.cls
