Sample report creation: Report creation is very simple and there is no need to learn various classes of Jasper report api.

//getting the instance of report generator interface's implementation
JasperReportGenerator reportGen=JasperReportGenerator.Factory.getReportGenerator();

//Getting template as .jasper file
String reportTemplate="hallTicket.jasper";

//Creating the empty report of desired type which will be filled by report //generator. Here creating the PDF report.
String reportFile="TestAbsoluteFilePath.pdf";
reportGen.setReportTemplate(new File(reportTemplate));
reportGen.setOutputReportFile(new File(reportFile));
reportGen.setReportType(ReportType.PDF);//PDF report type enum
reportGen.setParams(new HashMap<string, string="">());//Map of parameters which //report requires to get filled
reportGen.generate();//You are done with report generation and using the same //empty file path you can get the newly created report</string,>
