public class JasperReportsMultiFormatView
extends AbstractJasperReportsView

JasperReports view class that allows for the actual rendering format to be specified at runtime using a parameter contained in the model.

This view works on the concept of a format key and a mapping key. The format key is used to pass the mapping key from your Controller to Spring through as part of the model and the mapping key is used to map a logical format to an actual JasperReports view class.

For example, you might add the following code to your Controller:

 Map model = new HashMap();
 model.put("format", "pdf");

Here format is the format key and pdf is the mapping key. When rendering a report, this class looks for a model parameter under the format key, which by default is format. It then uses the value of this parameter to lookup the actual View class to use.

The default mappings for the format lookup are:

• csv - JasperReportsCsvView
• html - JasperReportsHtmlView
• pdf - JasperReportsPdfView
• xls - JasperReportsXlsView
• xlsx - JasperReportsXlsxView
(as of Spring 4.2)

The format key can be changed using the formatKey property. The applicable key-to-view-class mappings can be configured using the formatMappings property.

1.1.5

Field Detail

Constructor Detail

JasperReportsMultiFormatView

public JasperReportsMultiFormatView()

Creates a new JasperReportsMultiFormatView instance with a default set of mappings.

Method Detail

setFormatKey

public void setFormatKey(java.lang.String formatKey)

Set the key of the model parameter that holds the format discriminator. Default is "format".

setFormatMappings

public void setFormatMappings(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Class<? extends AbstractJasperReportsView>> formatMappings)

Set the mappings of format discriminators to view class names. The default mappings are:

• csv - JasperReportsCsvView
• html - JasperReportsHtmlView
• pdf - JasperReportsPdfView
• xls - JasperReportsXlsView
• xlsx - JasperReportsXlsxView
(as of Spring 4.2)

setContentDispositionMappings

public void setContentDispositionMappings(java.util.Properties mappings)

Set the mappings of Content-Disposition header values to mapping keys. If specified, Spring will look at these mappings to determine the value of the Content-Disposition header for a given format mapping.

getContentDispositionMappings

public java.util.Properties getContentDispositionMappings()

Return the mappings of Content-Disposition header values to mapping keys. Mainly available for configuration through property paths that specify individual keys.

generatesDownloadContent

protected boolean generatesDownloadContent()

Description copied from class: AbstractView

Return whether this view generates download content (typically binary content like PDF or Excel files).

The default implementation returns false. Subclasses are encouraged to return true here if they know that they are generating download content that requires temporary caching on the client side, typically via the response OutputStream.

Overrides:

generatesDownloadContent in class AbstractView

See Also:

AbstractView.prepareResponse(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse), ServletResponse.getOutputStream()

renderReport

protected void renderReport(net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint populatedReport,
                            java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> model,
                            HttpServletResponse response)
                     throws java.lang.Exception

Locates the format key in the model using the configured discriminator key and uses this key to lookup the appropriate view class from the mappings. The rendering of the report is then delegated to an instance of that view class.

Specified by:

renderReport in class AbstractJasperReportsView

Parameters:

populatedReport - the populated JasperPrint to render

model - the map containing report parameters

response - the HTTP response the report should be rendered to

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if rendering failed
