Jaspersoft Server Report Units - Passing the date/time formats at runtime to change the display format of date values

• Create a report unit in Jaspersoft Server.
•  Add 2 parameters     
• parameter1 – Date value

1

1.      

• parameter2- The Date format required to format the “parameter1”

Note: The formats which we can use here are only formats supported by java.text.SimpleDateFormat class.

e.g:        EEEE, dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzzz

MM/dd/yy

dd/MM/yy

dd-MMM-yy

yyyy.MM.dd.HH.mm.ss

E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z

 

·     

•    Now we need to drag and drop the “parameter1” value to the report Detail band and click on its parameters. Find the property called “Pattern Expression” and set “$P{parameter2}” as the value.

• Now save the report and upload the file successfully to the jaspersoft server.
• Define a report and run it (Either with default values or change the values).

Remote Debugging on WebLogic Server with Eclipse

            1.  Go to the WebLogic Server domain installed directory and open the bin folder.

2.      Open the startWebLogic.sh file and add the statement highlighted in red as depicted in the below diagram:

JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8888,server=y,suspend=n"

3.      Go to the Eclipse IDE and open a new debug configuration create a new “Remote Java Application”.

4.      Modify the configuration in the Remote Java Application dialog as follows:

 The value set for the “address” in Step1 should be equal to the Port value. (e.g. 8888)

 

5.      Using the UNIX terminal go to the folder where the startWebLogic.sh file resides and type “./startWebLogic.sh” to start the WebLogic server and from Eclipse run the newly created debug configuration.
