Re: [Springframework-developer] JasperReports Support in 1.1.3

[Rob H. <ro...@ca...>]

Jurgen,

Fire away with any modfications - I'll be sure to pay attention to what 
you do so I can get the same pattern in the rest of may code. As for 
adding auto-lookup of collections to wrap with 
JRBeanCollectionDataSource - I did that this morning along with 
appropriate tests. It uses a specific parameter name, reportData, which 
should be an instance of Collection. The reason I didn't opt for just 
taking the first collection it sees is because I don't know if JR will 
support passing a collection as parameter at some point in the future or 
whether some other reporting engine already has this support.

I'm currently about to revise it a bit, for example regarding exception handling on initialization (implementing afterPropertiesSet instead of overriding initApplicationContext, to allow for throwing any exception and avoid the need to use unchecked wrapper exceptions).

Instead, we could pass in a bean collection or bean array, to be implicitly wrapped with a JRBeanCollectionDataSource or a JRBeanArrayDataSource, respectively.

Else, we could define a specific model name for the JRDataSource (as bean property on the view): if specified, the given model object will be used (wrapped if necessary), rather than searching the model map for matching values.
