How to Invoke a report from java?

Hi,
I am a java / web developer with no reports experience.
We wish do the following from a java based web application:
On a web page we have two buttons
1) Print
2) Create file.
We want these two buttons to perform the following tasks:
1) The print button should run a predefined report with a set of parameters and send the output to a printer.
2) The Create File button should run a predefined report with a set of parameters and send the output to a rtf file on a temp area, which the java app can pick up for further processing.
Both actions should be triggered from the web app without the need for users
to have any knowledge of reports at all.
We are running ias 9.0.2.3.
Is the use of the plsql SRW package the best way to achieve this kind of functionality
or are there other JAVA APIs or any other ways to solve this scenario?
Any comments appreciated!
Regards
Per A Jorgensen

Hi Per,
In your submit button's ACTION, the URL that you submit should be like this:
For printing button:
http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet?report=...+server=...+userid=...+destype=printer+desformat=...+desname=<printer_name>
For create file button:
http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet?report=...+server=...+userid=...+destype=file+desformat=...+desname=<file_name>
Find the report request methods as syntax in the Publishing Reports Manual (Section 13.2)
http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/reports.html

How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing p

How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing parameter to it.
how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.

how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.This would entirely depend on crystal reports and you might find informations on crystal reports related communities more likely...I for one have seen crystal reports the last time about 12 years ago. And even back then I simply acknowledged it's existence instead of working with it.
Maybe crystal reports can be invoked via a URL call which would make it simple as you'd need simply build an URL and show the report using web.show_document. But that's pure speculation. Also you might not be the first with this requirement, so the solution to your problem might be right under your nose and just a little google search away ;)

How to invoke Oracle Reports from JSP ?

Hi,
I need to invoke Oracle Reports ( paper format ) from my JSP in different formats /PDF, RTF, HTML/ using rwservlet and then send the content to user browser.
Please, someone to give me working example.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Peter.

Peter,
you can call it from a URL if you need:
/reports/rwservlet?report=...&detype=cache&desformat=pdf...
You can define a file called cgicmd.dat on teh server that takes key-value pairs of the most common parameters under an named entry.
e.g.
ReportsCommon: destype=cache server=myServer ... %*
This way your URL is reduced to a minimum length because you don't have to list all parameters in teh URL.
Second solution:
Run a Reports from a browser URL and specify paramform=yes. This create a HTML based parameter form before executing teh Reports. Have a look at the HTML form code and see to what extend your Reports share same functionality so that you could create this HTML form in your JSP page. You could have a poplist with the name of "desformat" and list HTML, HTMLCSS,PDF,RTF,XML as valid entries so that the user can select the output format.
The Reports documentation shipped with Oracle9iAS (also available online otn.oracle.com/products/reports) has all teh information you need.

How to invoke a JAR from Java Swing application?

Hi,
I am trying to start a jar file from the swings application.
I am trying the following code,
String cmd[] = new String[]{"cmd", "java -jar TestJFreeChart.jar"};
try
Process run = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
catch(Exception e)
{}Is anything wrong in the usage?

First try:
"cmd /c java -jar app.jar" or cmd start, because it can't jsut run java.exe, it needs to be
passed to the cmd interpretor witch further calls java.exe, etc
Also read what stevejluke suggested. Its important to know if .waitFor or not.
You wont understand these until you read the tutorial.

Invoke beanshell methods from java

Hello
I'm learning beanshell and using it to write scripts that are ran in JDK 6.
My question is how to invok beanshell methods from java source codes.
My codes is:
import javax.script.*;
public class InvokeFunctions {
public static void main (String[] args)throws ScriptException, NoSuchMethodException
ScriptEngineManager sem = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine bshEngine = sem.getEngineByName("beanshell");
String script = "public void sayHello()"+"{print (\"sayHello() is a method in bsh script\");}";
bshEngine.eval(script);
Invocable inbshEngine = (Invocable)bshEngine;
inbshEngine.invokeFunction("sayHello");
I defined a method "sayHello()" using beanshell, but i just can't invoke it in Java.
I got an error msg said:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method bsh.NameSpace.getThis(Lbsh/Interpreter;)Lbsh/This; from class bsh.engine.BshScriptEngine
Any one has any idea about it?
Thanks

Look at the Javadoc documentation of IllegalAccessError. It says:
Thrown if an application attempts to access or modify a field, or to call a method that it does not have access to.
Normally, this error is caught by the compiler; this error can only occur at run time if the definition of a class has incompatibly changed.
Maybe recompiling all your sources (make sure you delete all existing *.class files) will help?

How to accesss the XDO Reports from Java application?
I am wondering that we need to get the URL for accessing the report and call the URL with in Java program?
Is that right? Is there any other option? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to write some class based on the BI Publisher APIs taking data, template, output format, etc.
