RT-Jasper

Try RT-Jasper!

You can log into a JasperServer instance and run a report yourself: Run a demo on JasperServer!

Installation

To use RT-Jasper you need to have a working RT: Request Tracker installation and have command line access to a machine running JasperServer.

To use RT-Jasper you need to first install RT-REST to your local maven repository:

git clone git@github.com:bboksa/RT-REST.git
cd RT-REST
mvn install

After that you can clone RT-Jasper and build the distribution files:

git clone git@github.com:bboksa/RT-Jasper.git
cd RT-Jasper
mvn clean assembly:assembly

Now you need to copy the resulting ZIP file to your server:

scp distribution/rt-jasper-distribution.zip johndoe@server.example.com:/some/path

On your server extract all files from the ZIP:

unzip rt-jasper-distribution.zip

Take a look at rt-jasper-distribution/build.xml to make sure all properties (espacially webAppDir) are set correctly and then execute:

ant -f rt-jasper-distribution/build.xml clean deploy
/etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
