iReport Ultimate Guide - Nimsoft Library

iReport Ultimate GuideYou can embed UR components in a Java application.The JasperReports Professional license file,which activates the Professional features, must be placed in the root of a folder or JAR file that is in the embeddingapplication’s classpath. For example, if UR is embedded in a web application, the license file can beplaced in the application’s WEB-INF/classes folder.Also, you must set the following properties of the URL of your SWF (Flash) files:com.jaspersoft.jasperreports.fusion.maps.base.swf.urlcom.jaspersoft.jasperreports.fusion.charts.base.swf.urlcom.jaspersoft.jasperreports.fusion.widgets.base.swf.urlThe URL can be a directory or web location. Here is an example of each:file:///C:\Program Files\iReport-Professional-3.6.0\ireportpro\FusionMaps_Enterprise\Mapshttp://localhost/MapsFor more information about building and deploying UR, along with the Maps, Charts, and Widgets Procomponents, see the Release Notes file in your iReport Professional installation.13.6 Localizing a ComponentWhen a report is meant to be produced in several languages, certain issues should be kept in mind:• All strings that are defined as data in your elements should be localized, including titles, subtitles, labels, and text values.• Since all the data is provided using expressions, the standard $R{...} syntax or all the other methods provided byUR to load a resource bundle key in an expression, are the best way to provide localized data for the chart.• Since all the data is provided using expressions, the standard $R{...} syntax and the other methods provided byUR to load a resource bundle key in an expression are the best way to provide localized data for the charts.• The localized formats of numbers and dates must be set explicitly using the advanced properties of each element.Numbers and dates are not automatically formatted according to the report locale. For numbers, the relevant properties areformatNumber, decimalSeparator, thousandSeparator, and decimals. For dates, use the propertyoutputDateFormat. The only chart that takes dates as input is the Gantt chart.• For details about localizing map labels, see 13.2.5, “Localizing Maps,” on page 251.13.7 Component LimitationsThe UR Flash chart components are extremely configurable and powerful, however, they do not expose alladvanced functionality that is available in native Maps, Charts and Widgets Flash implementations. Limitations include:• In all Pro components, it’s not possible to define reusable styles or custom animations.• Maps Pro does not support redefining entity codes and names or defining custom markers on a map.• Charts Pro does not support vertical data separator lines in column charts.276
