Jasper with Mongodb

Jasper with mongodb step by step. 

[ Mongodb not support the two tables/collection join but you can display two tables data in report by
Follow the below step one by one.]

Install MONGODB & Start MONGODB Server / Client

Download mongodb installation (mongodb-win32-x86_64-2.4.4.zip) and put in c:\ drive.

Open command prompt (cmd) and follow below steps.

Execute the below command to rename the folder name.

C:\>move C:\mongodb-win32-* C:\mongodb
C:\mongodb-win32-i386-2.0.6
1 file(s) moved.

Create mongodb default database directory
C:\>md data
C:\>md data\db

To Start the server execute below command.
C:\>cd mongodb\bin
C:\mongodb\bin>mongod

Open another command prompt (cmd) and start mongodb client.
C:\>cd mongodb\bin
C:\mongodb\bin>mongo

For more help of installation : http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mo...

Create Mongodb sample tables to understand in detail

Execute below all command in mongodb client  C:\mongodb\bin>mongo

Display all database command : show dbs
Create new database command :use test
db.createCollection("employee");
db.employee.insert(
{
_id: 1,
name: { first: 'John', last: 'Backus' },
city: 'New York',
department:1
}
);
db.employee.insert(
{
_id: 2,
name: { first: 'Merry', last: 'Desuja' },
city: 'London',
department:2
}
);
db.employee.insert(
{
_id: 4,
name: { first: 'Roman', last: 'Methyu' },
city: 'London',
department:1
}
);
db.employee.insert(
{
_id: 5,
name: { first: 'Roman', last: 'Roman' },
city: 'London',
department:2
}
);
db.createCollection("department");
db.department.insert(
{
_id: 1,
department: 'Manager'
}
);
db.department.insert(
{
_id: 2,
department: 'Accountant'
}
);

Create Mongodb Connection with Jasper

Create new connection and select MongoDB Connection.

Provide MongoURL and press test and save button.

mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/test
Host Name : 127.0.0.1 (you can get the host Name number from mongodb server content).
Database Name : test 

Create Jasper Report

Step 1 : Report Main Query : { 'collectionName' : 'employee'}

Step 2 : Create Dataset : Employee
Create New Parameter : P_EMPLOYEE_ID
Employee Dataset Query :
{
'collectionName' : 'employee',
findQuery : {
$where : "this._id == $P!{P_EMPLOYEE_ID} "}
}

Step 3 :
Create Dataset : Department
Create New Parameter : P_DEPARTMENT_ID
Department Dataset Query :
{
'collectionName' : 'department',
findQuery : {
$where : "this._id == $P!{P_DEPARTMENT_ID} "}
}

Step 4:
Take two list control one for display employee data and second for display department data.

Output

To quick understanding use the below jasper report and run it
