DynamicReports: How to save a report for viewing later

Step 1. Create and Save the report

public class DynamicReportsTest {
       public DynamicReportsTest() {
            JasperReportBuilder report = DynamicReports.report();

            TextColumnBuilder<Float> priceColumn = Columns.column("Price", "price", DataTypes.floatType());
             TextColumnBuilder<Integer> quantityOrderedColumn = Columns.column("Quantity Ordered", "quantityOrdered", DataTypes.integerType());
             TextColumnBuilder<BigDecimal> totalPay = priceColumn.multiply(quantityOrderedColumn)
                .setTitle("Amount Paid"));

            report.columns(Columns.columnRowNumberColumn("Item"),
                Columns.column("Name", "name", DataTypes.stringType()),
                priceColumn,
                quantityOrderedColumn,
                totalPay);
             report.title(Components.text("Test Report").setStyle(stl.style().blod());

            report.setDataSource(createDataSource());
            try {
                   //Save the report to a file.
                  JRSaver.saveObject(report.toJasperPrint(),  "<file path and name>");
                   report.show();
            }
      }

       private JRDataSource createDataSource() {
              DRDataSource dataSource = new DRDataSource("name", "price", "quantityOrdered");
              dataSource.add("Apple", new BigDecimal(1.29), 120);
              dataSource.add("Apple", new BigDecimal(1.69), 150);
              dataSource.add("Orange", new BigDecimal(0.99), 130);
              dataSource.add("Orange", new BigDecimal(0.96), 100);
             dataSource.add("Mange", new BigDecimal(0), 300);
             return dataSource;
      }
 
      public static void main(String[] args){
           new DynamicReportsTest();
      }
}


Step 2. View the saved report

public class viewSavedReport {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
              //View the saved report in step 1
             JasperPrint rpt = (JasperPrint)JRLoader.loadObject(new java.io.FileInputStream("<file path and name>"));
              reportViewer = new JasperViewer(rpt, false);
             reportViewer.setTitle("<Your report viewer title>");
             reportViewer.setZoomRatio(new Float(0.8949)); //the frame fit ratio
             reportViewer.setVisible(true);
      }
}
