iReport Ultimate Guide Figure 2-7 Options Window – General Options To display the window shown here in Figure 2-7, run iReport and select Tools → Options. I will discuss all the options shown in this panel in later chapters. For now, click the Viewers tab (see Figure 2-8) and configure the applications that you will use to view your output reports. 20
Getting Started Figure 2-8 Options Window – Viewers Test the configuration by creating a new blank report: 1. Select File → New empty report. 2. Select where to save it and confirm. 3. Click the Preview button on the tool bar. If everything is okay, iReport generates a Jasper file and displays a preview of a blank page. This means you have installed and configured iReport correctly. iReport stores report templates as XML files, with extension of .jrxml (JRXML files). Compiled versions of the templates are stored as binary files, with the extension .jasper (Jasper files). The latter are used to actually generate the reports. On Windows and Mac OSX it is not necessary to configure the viewers. If they are not configured, the system default is used to open the generated files. 2.9 Creating a JDBC Connection The most common data source for filling a report is a relational database, so, next, you will see how to set up a JDBC connection in iReport: 1. Click Select Tools → Reports and click the New button in the window with the connections list. A new window will appear for configuration of the new connection (see Figure 2-9). 21
