Integration with JasperServer

To integrate Aspose.Slides for JasperReports with JasperServer, it is necessary to take several additional steps and update the JasperServer config files. This article explains how.

1. Add new exporter properties to the %INTALL_DIR%\apache-tomcat\webapps\jasperserver\WEB-INF\flows\viewReportBeans.xml config file.

<bean id="reportPptExporter" class="com.aspose.slides.jasperreports.ASPptReportExporter" parent="baseReportExporter">
    <property name="exportParameters" ref="pptExportParameters"/>
    <property name="setResponseContentLength" value="true"/>
</bean> 

<bean id="pptExporterConfiguration" class="com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.war.action.ExporterConfigurationBean">
    <property name="descriptionKey" value="PowerPoint Presentation via Aspose.Slides"/>
    <property name="iconSrc" value="/images/ppt.png"/>
    <property name="parameterDialogName" value=""/>
    <property name="exportParameters" ref="pptExportParameters"/>
    <property name="currentExporter" ref="reportPptExporter"/>
</bean>

<util:map id="exporterConfigMap">
    <!-- add this entry to exporterConfigMap -->
    <entry key="ppt" value-ref="pptExporterConfiguration"/>
</util:map>

2. Copy aspose.slides.jasperreports.jar to %INTALL_DIR%\apache-tomcat\webapps\jasperserver\WEB-INF\lib.
3. To use the font mapping feature, update %INTALL_DIR%\apache-tomcat\webapps\jasperserver\WEB-INF\applicationContext.xml as below.

<bean id="pptExportParameters" class="com.aspose.slides.jasperreports.ASExportParametersBean">
    <property name="fontMap">
        <util:map id="fontMap">
            <entry key="sansserif" value="Arial"/>
            <entry key="serif" value="Times New Roman"/>
            <entry key="monospaced" value="Courier"/>
        </util:map>
    </property>
    <property name="needAlterText" value="false"/>
    <property name="licenseFile" value="C:/jasperserver-XX/apache-tomcat/webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/Aspose.Slides.JasperReports.Developer.lic"/>
</bean>
