The DynamicJasper team is pleased to announce the DynamicJasper 2.1.0 release! DynamicJasper (DJ) is an API that hides the complexity of Jasper Reports, it helps developers to save time when designing simple/medium complexity reports generating the layout of the report elements automatically. It creates reports dynamically, defining at runtime the columns, column width (auto width), groups, variables, fonts, charts, crosstabs, sub reports (that can also be dynamic), page size and everything else that you can define at design time. DJ keeps full compatibility with Jasper Reports since it's a tool that helps create reports programmatically in a easy way (it only interferes with the creation of the report design doing the layout of the elements). You can use the classic .jrxml files as templates while the content and layout of the report elements are handled by the DJ API. Changes in this version include: New features: o Tests enhancements :: To ensure product quality, the following technologies had been added to the automated tests: * HSQL DB: for real JDBC and SQL report tests * Hibernate: HQL report test * HTTP Unit: to test Webwork result type. Also enabling future testing to new http facilities. o Custom Expressions :: Now variables also available in Custom Expression. Instead of implementing CustomExpression, use DJCustomExpression which already provides as parameter one map per family (fields, variables and parameters) o Report Name :: Report name can now be specified (dynamicReport.setReportName(...) ). When exporting to Excel, this name will be used as the sheet name o Report Properties :: Now the DynamicReport has a setProperty(String, String) method which passes the properties to the JasperReportDesign. o JRXML Templates :: Now bringing existing parameters, variables and fields and datasets from jrxml templates :: thanks yaro! Thanks to yaro. Fixed Bugs: o WebWork integration :: Fixed bug that had this feature broken. Also added new options to result type. Updated documentation (see "Integrate DynamicJasper with Webwork"). Thanks to dongw. o Page Orientation :: Orientation is working now Changes: o Field Properties Refactor :: Only PropertyColumn and its children are worthless to have field properties Have fun! -DynamicJasper team
