(Still in Development Mode...)

Is a jruby library that takes a jrxml document, a xmldocument, a xpath selection string and a export type to create a pdf/xls report.

This gem requires jruby > 1.6.0

gem install casperreports

• JasperReport Template or jrxml file
• Xml Data
• XPath Selection
• Export type

Casper will use the JasperReports library to compile and return a pdf.

A pdf/xls document in string of bytes (streaming)

movie_jrxml = open('moviereport.jrxml').read
movies = open('movies.xml').read

pdf_string = Casper.new.compile(movie_jrxml, movies, '//movie', 'pdf')
open('movie.pdf', 'wb').write(pdf_string)

xls_string = Casper.new.compile(movie_jrxml, movies, '//movie', 'xls')
open('movie.pdf', 'wb').write(xla_string)
