===========================
Hi Experts,
I am finding a solution over there about suitable Reporting tools by Oracle JDeveloper 11g . I am migrating oracle forms to JDeveloper and trying to reporting solution.
How can I embed Oracle Reports in JDeveloper ? Anybody have solution about such as ADF with JDeveloper UI source examples? Please reply me.

Zakir,
If you work on the raw xml reports of jasper, yup it can be really difficult. But theres this awesome free tool called iReport which makes developing Jasper reports a piece of cake. The interface is very similar to those used in oracle reports. As in, GUI and easy editing.So using iReport jasper report development is not too difficult at all. That coupled with integrating it in Jdev's App makes it a killer combo (IMHO).
*"Because created reports can run Independently even microsoft word." >>*
I'm not really sure what you mean by this. But if you mean generating the final report in a word format. Jasper provides numerous output formats like pdf, word, excel, rtf etc pretty much everything.
From your question in the thread *"How can I embed Oracle Reports in JDeveloper ?"* , I presumed that is exactly what you wanted to do -call oracle reports from Jdev, and this to the best of my knowledge can only be achieved by the method i have mentioned above.
If you're looking for alternate reporting tools though, that's a different ballgame.

Error deploying oracle report JSPs in Jdeveloper.

Hi,
I am trying to deploy and run a report created using oracle Report tool(comes with oracle 10g developer suite). I did the below steps.
1. I created a web layout report in oracle reports tool.
2. Open Jdeveloper (which comes in developer suite).
3. Create a new project in Jdeveloper. selected to create new "report component" from new. Copied my oracle report to this jsp page.(Report run time was automatically added to the libraries of the project created)
4. Run using embedded oc4j and report was successfully run.
5. Created a deployment profile for WAR. Created a war successfully. Then created an EAR.
6. Right click deployment profile and configured standalone oc4j connected(connection1). Tested the connection. The test connection was success.
7. Then right clicked the deployement profile and clicked deploy to connection1.
8. The EAR file was deployed but in the standalone OC4J, it is showing few errors.

Oracle Reports Integration with JDeveloper

Hi Gurus,
We have our Oracle Forms Applications 10g Release1 running on the Application Server 9.0.4.
I have understood that using oracle Forms Faces, the existing Forms can be brought into the J2EE Frame work developed using ADF Faces.
Now my question is that we have lots of Reports running on the Reports server using Oracle Reports. My question is that how can we integrate these Reports as it is in my J2EE environment without changing anything on my existing Reports.
Any help on this is very much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Forms,
I don't really have a demo per se, but it's not so hard.
For example, say http://foo:7777/reports/whatever?param=foo&param2=bar is the URL. Simply put an af:goLink on your page and set its target to http://foo:7777/reports/whatever?param=#{an_el_expression_that_evaluates_to_the_parameter_value}&param2=#{ditto}
Just treat them like a web link.

Report Generation using JDeveloper

hello
I saw the Jdeveloper Online Demo on generating reports via a JSP Application. From the demo ,i came to understand that i need Oracle Reports also.How to obtain oracle reports separately without downloading the entire Oracle 9i DS? What is the cost involved? Should i download Oracle 9i AS too??

Hi
As you mentioned you can use Oracle Reports along with
JDeveloper.
You would use JDeveloper to build the UI part either thru applet
or servlet and invoke the reports from that.
Invoking reports is very straight forward, all you would need is
the respective URL for the reports.

HOW TO CREATE A NEW J2EE APP FOR DEPLOYING ORACLE REPORTS USING JDEVELOPER?

Hi,
I'm new to JDeveloper and Java, JSP etc. I'm trying to deploy a sample parameter form for JSP report. My question is: When I create a J2EE application using JDeveloper, how to make sure "The WEB-INF directory must contain the JSP tag library for Oracle Reports, called reports_tld.jar"? How to do it via JDeveloper?
In my JSP page, I use <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/lib/reports_tld.jar" prefix="rw" %>.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?
I get the following error in Jdeveloper when running my test jsp report:
Error(8): Unable to load taghandler class: /WEB-INF/lib/reports_tld.jar

Hi,
Unfortunately this demo is one of those old demos which have technical problems with new IE + JDK versions, so we had to take it off. The link to this demo is no longer available on OTN:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/search.html?cat=INT&col=DEM&submit=Search
You may have bookmarked it. If it is available on any OTN page, pl let me know.
For Oracle Reports integration with JDev, pl see the tool / utility available at this page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/search.html?cat=INT&col=UTI&submit=Search
This tool/utility is currently available with 10g (9.0.4), and has not yet been tested with 10g R2 (10.1.2).
But if your objective is only to use to use JDev to develop a pluggable destination, you may want to see the pluggable destination API documentation available here, which can be developed with any tool including JDeveloper:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/apis/plugDestination/index.html
Some plugin destinations and their source code is available here for reference. As you can see, its pretty straightforward - most of these samples have just a few lines of custom code:

Read the publishing reports manual of Oracle reports to see how to Web enabled your Oracle reports. You can then invoke them from an ADF application either by calling a URL or using a Web service interface.

Running Oracle Reports from JDeveloper

Do you know how to run an oracle report from JDeveloper?

Do you mean invoking a report at runtime, or do you mean designing a report inside JDeveloper?
Did you try asking on the Reports Forum:

JDeveloper - Oracle Reports Integration

Hello !
Is it possible to integrate reports developed in Oracle Reports (JSP technology) into uiXML (UIX XML + BC4J) pages ? Or I must I use UIX JSP pages ?
If yes, how ?

Hello again,
Yes, I know that UIX JSP is one of the solutions. But is the only one ? If I will use UIX BC4J and <servletInclude> for calling JSP Reports what will happen ?

# If you have entries for a same font in many PDF sections, then Font

# Generic entries for a font must follow more specific entries for the same
# font. For instance, if you want to subset helvetica Plain, helvetica Bold,
# helvetica Italic and helvetica Bold-Italic fonts, your entries must be:
# [ PDF:Subset ]
# helvetica..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
# helvetica...Bold.. = "Arialb.ttf"
# helvetica..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
# helvetica..... = "Arial.ttf"
# If helvetica..... entry appears in the top of the list, all the styles of
# helvetica font in the layout will be subset as helvetica Plain font.

Embedding a *.pdf or *.doc into a Oracle Report

Report Guru's,
I am having a scenario wherein a client wants to import a file which could be anything from an image/text/pdf/doc/excel into an Oracle Report output. The file would be stored in the database table column(BLOB or LONG RAW type). As per the existing functionality available in Oracle Report, I can select this particular column in my report and in the layout design a field with this column as its source. Now the problem is that if I check the properties of this field in the column, then the file format is restricted to text/image/ole/cgm/oracle drawing format/sound/video/ole2/image url and it doesn't seem to take care of pdf/excel or other file types.
Is there any workaround which I can use to embed pdf's or other documents?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

I asked this, too, not too long ago, but I have received no response of any kind.
Seems like maybe the answer is no.

Embedding Fonts in Oracle Reports with PDF output

I've read in the data sheet for Oracle reports that you can embed font in the PDF output, but I cannot seem to find any documentation on how this is done. Current we have PDF reports being generated using reports server on Compaq (Alpha based) server running TRUE64 UNIX. The reports server uses the fonts install on the Compaq to figure out the layout (we use auto-sized fields). When the PDF is displayed on a Windows client the fonts are substituted and the labels and fields overlap. I want to embed the UNIX fonts into the PDF so that the output is reproduced as it was generated.

You need to export as PDF (Interactive) and you also need to view the PDF in Reader or Acrobat 9 or later.
