swing

In this article i’m trying to create a very simple reporting application. In my several past projects, i used to do reporting with java swing and jasper report, and im connecting both of them using a simple JDBC and java.sql.Connection. But in recent project, i had to used iBatis Framework for replacing JDBC. So i had to spend several hours finding a workaround on how connecting Jasper with iBatis, but thanks to uncle Google i finally found a very simple but elegant workaround.
Enough with the chit-chat, i’ll show you the code. First, as always, a simple database named “test” and a simple table named “contoh”.

CREATE DATABASE 'test'
USE 'test'

CREATE TABLE `contoh` (
  `nama` varchar(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `alamat` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`nama`)
)

next step is creating a java bean for database mapping

package com.edw.bean;

public class Contoh {

    private String nama;
    private String alamat;

    public String getAlamat() {
        return alamat;
    }

    public void setAlamat(String alamat) {
        this.alamat = alamat;
    }

    public String getNama() {
        return nama;
    }

    public void setNama(String nama) {
        this.nama = nama;
    }
    
}

and an xml mapping for database queries, i named it contoh.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE sqlMap PUBLIC "-//ibatis.apache.org//DTD SQL Map 2.0//EN" 
"http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/sql-map-2.dtd" >
<sqlMap namespace="contoh" >

  <resultMap id="result" class="com.edw.bean.Contoh">
        <result property="nama" column="NAMA" columnIndex="1"/>
        <result property="alamat" column="ALAMAT" columnIndex="2"/>
    </resultMap>

    <insert id="insertContoh" parameterClass="com.edw.bean.Contoh" >
    insert into contoh (nama, alamat)
    values (#nama:VARCHAR#, #alamat:VARCHAR#)
    </insert>

    <select id="selectAllContoh" resultMap="result">
    select nama, alamat
    from contoh
    </select>

</sqlMap>

and ibatis’ main xml configuration, sqlmapconfig.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE sqlMapConfig
PUBLIC "-//ibatis.apache.org//DTD SQL Map Config 2.0//EN"
"http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/sql-map-config-2.dtd">

<sqlMapConfig>
    <settings
        useStatementNamespaces="true"
        lazyLoadingEnabled="true"
        enhancementEnabled="true"
        maxSessions="20"
        />

    <transactionManager type="JDBC" commitRequired="false">
        <dataSource type="SIMPLE">

            <property name="SetAutoCommitAllowed" value="false"/>
            <property name="DefaultAutoCommit" value="false"/>
            
            <property name="JDBC.Driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
            <property name="JDBC.ConnectionURL" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/test"/>
            <property name="JDBC.Username" value="root"/>
            <property name="JDBC.Password" value="password"/>
   
        </dataSource>
    </transactionManager>

    <sqlMap resource="com/edw/sqlmap/contoh.xml"/>
</sqlMapConfig>

next step is creating a simple java class to load all iBatis’ configuration file.

package com.edw.config;

import com.ibatis.common.resources.Resources;
import com.ibatis.sqlmap.client.SqlMapClient;
import com.ibatis.sqlmap.client.SqlMapClientBuilder;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Reader;


/**
 *
 * @author edw
 */
public class SqlMapConfig {

    protected static final SqlMapClient sqlMap;

    static {
        try {
            Reader reader = Resources.getResourceAsReader("com/edw/sqlmap/sqlmapconfig.xml");
            sqlMap = SqlMapClientBuilder.buildSqlMapClient(reader);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Fatal Error, ga dapet sqlmapconfignya.  Cause: " + e, e);
        } catch (Exception e){
            throw new RuntimeException("Fatal Error.  Cause: " + e, e);
        }
    }

    public static SqlMapClient getSqlMap() {
        return sqlMap;
    }
}

I create a very simple reporting using JasperReport, i named it Iseng.jrxml and compile it into Iseng.jasper

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport xmlns="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd" name="Iseng" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="842" columnWidth="555" leftMargin="20" rightMargin="20" topMargin="20" bottomMargin="20">

	<parameter name="nama1" class="java.lang.String"/>
	<queryString>
		<![CDATA[]]>
	</queryString>
	<field name="nama" class="java.lang.String"/>
	<field name="alamat" class="java.lang.String"/>
	<background>
		<band splitType="Stretch"/>
	</background>
	<title>
		<band height="56" splitType="Stretch">

	</title>
	<pageHeader>

	<columnHeader>

</jasperReport>

And this is my main Swing class. iBatis generate a List of Beans class for its result set, and im using Jasper’s JRBeanCollectionDataSource class to map iBatis’ resultSet.

package com.edw.ui;

import com.edw.bean.Contoh;
import com.edw.config.SqlMapConfig;
import com.ibatis.sqlmap.client.SqlMapClient;

import java.util.List;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

import net.sf.jasperreports.view.JasperViewer;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

/**

public class Main extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

    private Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass());
    private JButton cmdPrint = new JButton("cetak");
    private SqlMapClient sqlMapClient = SqlMapConfig.getSqlMap();

    public Main() {
        Container conn = getContentPane();
        conn.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        conn.add(cmdPrint);
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        cmdPrint.addActionListener(this);
        pack();
    }

     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource() == cmdPrint) {
            try {
                //load report location
                FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("Iseng.jasper");
                BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(fis);

                // do query and get list of Contoh
                List<Contoh> contohs = sqlMapClient.queryForList("contoh.selectAllContoh");

                //fill it in JRBeanCollectionDS
                JRBeanCollectionDataSource jrbcds = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(contohs);

                //compile report
                JasperReport jasperReport = (JasperReport) JRLoader.loadObject(bufferedInputStream);
                JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, new HashMap(), jrbcds);

                //view report to UI
                JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint, false);

            } catch (Exception ex) {
                logger.error(ex.getMessage(), ex);
            }

        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Main main = new Main();
        main.setVisible(true);
    }
}

and my log4j configuration, i named it log4j.properties

# Global logging configuration
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,stdout

# Console output...
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%c{1}] %-5p %c:%L - %m%n

this is my NetBeans’ project structure,

dont forget to put your .jasper file in the same folder as your build.xml file,

this is what happen when i run my application, on the background you can see iBatis’ resultSet.

and this is what happen when i push my report button

I hope my article can be useful for others, thank you and have fun using iBatis.
