I have developed a template design in JasperSoft Studio and upload jrxml file to JasperServer. I want to send data (JSON or XML) to filling report template from my python application and take back report in some popular formats like PDF, XLS using REST API. I do not want to store the data on the server. How can I do this? Or data must be stored on the server and there is no alternative way of their transmission by WEB-Service?
The data does not necessarily have to reside on the server.
You could design your template in such way that you can pass the data via input control parameters as #tobi6 suggested.
Then you could use either the reports service or the reportExecutions service to get the desired output.
In your case, the data could be the actual data(XML or JSON) or the source of the data(a URL to the data file).
Here are some basic samples for working with XML data(for JSON is quite similar):
With actual data as parameter
The JasperReports template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Created with Jaspersoft Studio version 6.1.1.final using JasperReports Library version 6.1.1 -->
<!-- 2016-05-25T14:18:00 -->
<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="XmlDSReport_with_data" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="842" columnWidth="555" leftMargin="20" rightMargin="20" topMargin="20" bottomMargin="20" uuid="85d7b9ad-6feb-43dc-84cc-5175bf629546">
<parameter name="xmlString" class="java.lang.String">
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA["<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><a><b><val>val1</val></b><b><val>val2</val></b></a>"]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<parameter name="XML_INPUT_STREAM" class="java.io.InputStream">
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[new java.io.ByteArrayInputStream($P{xmlString}.getBytes("UTF-8"))]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<queryString language="xPath">
<![CDATA[/a/b]]>
</queryString>
<field name="value" class="java.lang.String">
<fieldDescription><![CDATA[val]]></fieldDescription>
</field>
<columnHeader>
<band height="31" splitType="Stretch">
<staticText>
<reportElement x="150" y="0" width="100" height="30" uuid="b33a123d-8987-4da4-b21b-1f9ccc50e92d"/>
<text><![CDATA[value]]></text>
</staticText>
</band>
</columnHeader>
<detail>
<band height="30" splitType="Stretch">
<textField>
<reportElement x="150" y="0" width="100" height="30" uuid="14c51219-5ce2-47ce-abb9-71bc11a6f28c"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$F{value}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</band>
</detail>
</jasperReport>
After you deploy the report and create the input control for the xmlString parameter you can test it. Let's say you want to pass this XML instead of leaving the default in place:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<a>
<b><val>new_val1</val></b>
<b><val>new_val2</val></b>
</a>
To test the reports service you run something similar to this in a terminal(I URL-encoded the XML string) and check the result:
curl -u user:password \
http://localhost:8080/jasperserver/rest_v2/reports/reports/XmlDSReport_with_data.pdf?xmlString=%3C%3Fxml%20version%3D%221.0%22%20encoding%3D%22UTF-8%22%3F%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3Ca%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Cb%3E%3Cval%3Enew_val1%3C%2Fval%3E%3C%2Fb%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Cb%3E%3Cval%3Enew_val2%3C%2Fval%3E%3C%2Fb%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3C%2Fa%3E > report.pdf
To test the reportExecutions service, the main steps are:
1.Create an XML file with the request(name it reportExecutionRequest.xml)
<reportExecutionRequest>
<reportUnitUri>/reports/XmlDSReport_with_data</reportUnitUri>
<outputFormat>pdf</outputFormat>
<freshData>true</freshData>
<saveDataSnapshot>false</saveDataSnapshot>
<interactive>true</interactive>
<allowInlineScripts>true</allowInlineScripts>
<async>false</async>
<parameters>
<reportParameter name="xmlString">
<value><![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<a><b><val>new_val1</val></b><b><val>new_val2</val></b></a>]]></value>
</reportParameter>
</parameters>
</reportExecutionRequest>
2.Make the request(you need to save the session cookie to retrieve the output):
curl -u user:password \
-H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
-d #reportExecutionRequest.xml \
-c cookies.txt \
http://localhost:8080/jasperserver/rest_v2/reportExecutions
3.Get the output with the requestID and exportID from the result of the previous request:
curl -b cookies.txt \
http://localhost:8080/jasperserver/rest_v2/reportExecutions/cc57b351-cfb6-429e-8c92-d0aebebbed66/exports/b71d6353-1eec-4304-8713-5d0f3105680e/outputResource > report.pdf
With data as source URL
It is the same report template, but with the two parameters replaced with:
<parameter name="xmlSource" class="java.lang.String">
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA["http://serverwithdata/xmlData.xml"]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<parameter name="net.sf.jasperreports.xml.source" class="java.lang.String">
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[$P{xmlSource}]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
Note: I created two parameters here just because I wanted to keep a shorter name for the parameter when passing it through the reports service. I also created an input control just for the xmlSource parameter.
The tests in this case are similar.
EDIT: To use JSON instead of XML, the original JasperReports template needs to be adjusted in this way:
For data as parameter, just change the xmlString parameter, the XML_INPUT_STREAM parameter and the queryString to this:
<parameter name="jsonString" class="java.lang.String">
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA["{\"a\": [ {\"b\": { \"val\": \"val1\"}}, {\"b\": { \"val\": \"val2\" }}]}"]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<parameter name="JSON_INPUT_STREAM" class="java.io.InputStream">
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[new java.io.ByteArrayInputStream($P{jsonString}.getBytes("UTF-8"))]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<queryString language="json">
<![CDATA[a.b]]>
</queryString>
For data as source URL, change the xmlString parameter, the XML_INPUT_STREAM parameter and the queryString to this:
<parameter name="jsonSource" class="java.lang.String">
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA["http://serverwithdata/jsonData.json"]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<parameter name="net.sf.jasperreports.json.source" class="java.lang.String">
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[$P{jsonSource}]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<queryString language="json">
<![CDATA[a.b]]>
</queryString>
The cURL tests for the REST services are basically the same with the main difference that you will be passing JSON instead of XML and use the JSON specific parameters jsonString or jsonSource.
The API is separated in three domains:
Administration services
Repository services
Report services
To generate reports, they first have to be deployed to the server via the repository service. If later on the report needs to be generated, it is called via the report services. Here, it is also possible to start synchronous or asynchronous report generation.
Therefore the report needs to be in the repository.
EDIT
Since you also need to deliver parameters, referring to this example it would work like this:
Add a report parameter
Add a input control for a report parameter
Call the API with your input parameter: http://<host>:<port>/jasperserver[-pro]/rest_v2/reports/reports/samples/EmployeeAccounts.html?EmployeeID=sarah_id
Do as needed for other parameters

I'm creating a dialogflow agent integrated with Google Assistant.
What I'd like to do is to open an app (my app) when a proper intent is matched. I've seen that actions like Youtube, Spotify etc. are able to do that, for example I can tell the Youtube action "search for cats video" and the Youtube app will open with a list of cats videos.
I tried to use the DeepLink class but I then noticed it's deprecated.
DeepLink class
Is there any way you can suggest me to do this?
Thanks in advance
I think you are looking for App Actions. Here are the steps you need to follow:
Find the right built-in intent. actions.intent.OPEN_APP_FEATURE should be the right one for you.
Create and update actions.xml. It should look like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- This is a sample actions.xml -->
<actions>
<action intentName="actions.intent.OPEN_APP_FEATURE">
<!-- Use url from inventory match for deep link fulfillment -->
<fulfillment urlTemplate="{#url}" />
<!-- Define parameters with inventories here -->
<parameter name="feature">
<entity-set-reference entitySetId="featureParamEntitySet" />
</parameter>
</action>
<entity-set entitySetId="featureParamEntitySet">
<!-- Provide a URL per entity -->
<entity url="myapp://deeplink/one" name="featureParam_one" alternateName="#array/featureParam_one_synonyms" />
<entity url="myapp://deeplink/two" name="featureParam_two" alternateName="#array/featureParam_two_synonyms" />
</entity-set>
</actions>
This is regarding xml transformation within BPEL.
In my bpel process, data is coming from two separate sources (partnerLinks).
Data from both sources is in the same xml format.
I need to combine the data from the two XML documents into one xml document and then pass it back to the ESB.
I was trying with bpel:doXslTransform()).
I am not sure how to pass the two responses from the partnerLinks to this function in a single call.
I tried concatenating the two responses into a string within a message type variable and then pass this to the bpel:doXslTransform(). Is this the right approach to merge the data?
Yes, you can do a bpel:doXslTransform here.
This involves receiving an XML document from one service, converting it to a different Schema to form a new request message, and sending the new request to another service. Such documentation conversion can be accomplished using XSLT via the bpel:doXslTransform function.
<variables>
<variable name="A" element="foo:AElement" />
<variable name="B" element="bar:BElement" />
</variables>
...
<sequence>
<invoke ... inputVariable="..." outputVariable="A" />
<assign>
<copy>
<from>
bpel:doXslTransform("urn:stylesheets:A2B.xsl", $A)
</from>
<to variable="B" />
</copy>
</assign>
<invoke ... inputVariable="B" ... />
</sequence>

I need to query a webservice passing complex parameters in Reporting Services as input.
How can I do this?
In Query Designer at Visual Studio, I'm doing the query like this :
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://mywebservice.com/Customers/GetCustomers</SoapAction>
<Method Name="GetCustomers" Namespace="http://mywebservice.com/Customers/">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="myParams" type="xml">
<DefaultValue>
<myParams>
<IdCustomer>0</IdCustomer>
</myParams>
</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
WebService expect it as parameter:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetCustomer xmlns="http://mywebservice.com/Customers/">
<myParams>
<IdCustomer>int</IdCustomer>
<IdCustomer>int</IdCustomer>
</myParams>
</GetCustomer>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
When I try it at Visual Studio 2008, I get this error message :
Failed to execute web request for the specified URL. Soap Fault:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
You should look at the xml being sent in a test client in order to get an example of the syntax needed for your query. I recommend using the wcftestclient that comes with Visual Studio. Once you run a test, you can view the xml on the XML tab (at the bottom of the screen in wcftestclient), and replace what is in the <DefaultValue> section of your query with the corresponding parameter values.
The query for that webservice should look something like the following. Note the a namespace which will be depend on your own situation:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://mywebservice.com/Customers/GetCustomers</SoapAction>
<Method Name="GetCustomer" Namespace="http://mywebservice.com/Customers/">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="myParams" type="xml">
<DefaultValue xmlns:a="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/MyWebServices">
<a:IdCustomer>0</a:IdCustomer>
<a:IdCustomer>1</a:IdCustomer>
</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
</Query>
Also, I do see that you have <Parameter type="xml">. For Me, I spent hours working through a similar query and was missing the type="xml". That attribute does not seem to be well documented on MSDN.
Can someone provide a sample for downloading a specific version of a file from SharePoint using web services? Normally I would get the file with the Copy Web Service (.../_vti_bin/copy.asmx). But I don't really know how to specify a version.

Anton Kalcik
You can use the Versions web service to get which versions exist for a File
The GetVersions method will give you an xml like this:
<results xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<list id="{26E516B0-8241-4B97-984D-000000000000}" />
<versioning enabled="1" />
<settings url="http://Server_Name/Site_Name/_layouts/
1033/LstSetng.aspx?
List={26E516B0-8241-4B97-984D-000000000000}" />
<result version="#4" url="http://Server_Name/Site_Name/
Shared Documents/File_Name.doc"
created="6/7/2003 5:55 PM" createdBy="DOMAIN\User" size="19968"
comments="" />
<result version="1" url="http://Server_Name/Site_Name/
_vti_history/1/Shared Documents/File_Name.doc"
created="6/7/2003 5:49 PM" createdBy="DOMAIN\User" size="19968"
comments="" />
.
.
.
</results>
You can then just use a HTTP GET request for the content of the "url" attribute of the "result" node for the right version
Here's the exact thing you want to do, with code:

I have a custom definition for a document library and I am trying to rename documents within the library using only the out of the box web services. Having defined a view with the "Name" field supplied and trying the "LinkFilename", my calls to rename a file are respectively returning a failure or ignoring the new value.
How do I rename a file using the SharePoint web services?
Use the Lists.UpdateListItems web method. The XML request should look like:
<Batch OnError="Continue" PreCalc="TRUE" ListVersion="0">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">
<!-- List item ID of document -->
<Field Name="ID">2</Field>
<!-- Full URL to document -->
<Field Name="FileRef">http://Server/FullUrl/File.doc</Field>
<!-- New filename -->
<Field Name="BaseName">NewName</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>
You should be able to use UpdateListItems. Here's an example.
Per comment: So the actual question is "how do I call a web service?" Take a look a this example. Some more good walkthroughs here.
