6. Copyright © Team #4 CSCI 6838 Spring 20076 Project Overview  The main goal of the project is to provide the existing report generator with graphical display capability  The tools used to generate these reports are JasperReports BIRT  Both JasperReports and BIRT take XML input which is the report definition file

7. Copyright © Team #4 CSCI 6838 Spring 20077 Project Overview  Technologies: JAVA XML JBoss SQL Server 2005

8. Copyright © Team #4 CSCI 6838 Spring 20078 Project Requirements  Initial project requirements XML translator to accept Ad Hoc report definition XML XML translator then produces XML report definition in Jasper or BIRT format  Present project requirements Modify the Ad Hoc reporting tool to generate XML report definition This XML report definition must be understood by Jasper or BIRT engines

9. Copyright © Team #4 CSCI 6838 Spring 20079 Tasks  Learn the Existing System  Learn the tools Jasper and BIRT  Learn the XML’s accepted by the Jasper and BIRT engines

23. Copyright © Team #4 CSCI 6838 Spring 200723 Jasper Reports JasperReports is a powerful open source Java reporting tool that has the ability to deliver rich GRAPHICAL content onto the screen, to the printer or into PDF, HTML, XLS, CSV and XML files. Available Charts in Jasper:

24. Copyright © Team #4 CSCI 6838 Spring 200724 BIRT BIRT is an open source Eclipse-based reporting system that integrates with your Java/J2EE application to produce compelling Graphical reports. Available Charts in BIRT:

25. Copyright © Team #4 CSCI 6838 Spring 200725 How To Do: A very basic Diagram Java Code Runtime Jasper / BIRT Engine Graphical Report Current Tool Generated Jasper / BIRT understood XML

26. Copyright © Team #4 CSCI 6838 Spring 200726 Implementation Challenges  Identifying the correct JDK version to run the pre-compiled classes in the deployment package  JBoss Application Server – outdated jar file was provided (jtds 0.9 to jtds 1.2)  Current tool required SQL Server Authentication (not the default Windows Authentication) for connecting to the database  SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration has TCP/IP protocol disabled by default - which needed to be enabled

27. Copyright © Team #4 CSCI 6838 Spring 200727 Refinement  According to Initial requirements, the XML part needed modification TieFlow DataData Formatting in Report XMLReport formatted data Requirements were refined to bypass the XML.  Factory Method design is used.

28. Copyright © Team #4 CSCI 6838 Spring 200728 Conclusion and Future Work  The required classes to be extended have been identified  Sequential flow of the process is well understood  Understanding the XML format. More research on the existing package is needed  Developing the required classes  Modifying the User Interface
