Export Report without opening Viewer in web application

[prakashn]

Hi Team,

We integrated Stimulsoft Reports.Fx for Java with our web application and generating reports.

Now we got new requirement like, need to directly export the report to PDF or Excle without opening the viewer or at runtime we need to disable/hide few export options from viewer.

Please let me know how can we achieve this. Its a bit urgent requirement.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Prakash

Hello.
For direct open file in browser you can use servlet that generate with custom settings & return file (example for PDF file):

Code: Select all

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
try {
            StiDocument document = StiSerializeManager.deserializeDocument(new File(
                    "c:\\TwoSimpleLists.mdc"));
            response.setContentType("application/pdf");
            StiPdfExportSettings settings = new StiPdfExportSettings();
            ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            StiExportManager.exportPdf(document.getReport(), settings, bos);
            byte[] binaryData = bos.toByteArray();
            response.addHeader("Content-Length", String.valueOf(binaryData.length));
            //response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"test.pdf\""); uncomment it if you don't want to open file in browser - want to download it
            StiIOUtil.writeInputStream(response.getOutputStream(), new ByteArrayInputStream(
                    binaryData));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
}

Hi Vadim,

This is working fine for .mdc files. But for .mrt files, the response is null and returns corrupt file.

Is there some other way for .mrt files?

Thanks,

Hello.
You must render .mrt file (see our Samples forlder), for example:

Code: Select all

StiReport renderReport = StiSerializeManager.deserializeReport(new File("Reports/SimpleList.mrt"));
//add neccessary databases
renderReport.getDictionary().getDatabases().add(new StiXmlDatabase("Demo", "Demo.xsd", "Demo.xml"));
//render report
renderReport.Render(false);

than you can use rendered report.

Hi Vadim,
