Question

How to deploy a report (jrxml file) through the Jasper PHP/REST API to the Jasper Reports Server?

Answer 1

For deploying Jasper reports on Jasper Server using Rest-API you can use following method:

Uploading JRXML file

JRXML_DATA=$(cat $PATHTOJRXMLFILE/$JRXML_FILE)

curl  -X POST $JASPER_REST_HOST/jasperserver/rest_v2/resources/reports \
-H "Content-Type:application/jrxml" \
-H "Content-Disposition:attachment; filename=test" \
-H "Content-Description:test file" \
-d "$JRXML_DATA" \
--user $JASPER_USERNAME:$JASPER_USERNAME

Creating ReportUnit

RESOURCEDESCRIPTOR_JSON=$(cat $REPORT/deployable/reportunit.json)

curl  -X POST $JASPER_REST_HOST/jasperserver/rest_v2/resources/reports \
-H "Content-Type:application/repository.reportUnit+json" \
-d "$RESOURCEDESCRIPTOR_JSON" \
--user $JASPER_USERNAME:$JASPER_PASSWORD

ResourceDescriptor for reportUnit example

    "uri": "/reports/test_report", 
    "label": "test_report", 
    "description": "description", 
    "permissionMask": "0",
    "version": "0" ,
    "alwaysPromptControls": "true",

}
