103. Configuring a DataSource in Tomcat
By: Emiley J. : 2008-11-24
Description: Tomcat makes it easy to set up a connection pool so that servlets and JSPs can efficiently share database connections. In web sites that have many simultaneous users, a connection pool improves efficiency by sharing existing database connections, rather than creating a new connection and tearing it down every time an application has to use the database.
104. Setting Up SSL on Tomcat
By: Ramlak : 2008-11-24

Description: As mentioned, a report design represents a template that will be used by the JasperReports engine to deliver dynamic content to the printer, to the screen or to the Web. Data stored in the database is organized according to the report design to obtain ready to print, page oriented documents.
106. What is JasperReports?
By: MakeItSimple. : 2008-09-02
Description: JasperReports is a powerful open source reporting tool that has the ability to deliver rich content onto the screen, to the printer or into PDF, HTML, XLS, CSV and XML files. It is entirely written in Java and can be used in a variety of Java enabled applications to generate dynamic content.
107. Using Parameters in JasperReports
By: MakeItSimple. : 2008-09-02
Description: Parameters are object references that are passed-in to the report filling operations. They are very useful for passing to the report engine data that it can not normally find in its data source.
108. Fields in JasperReports
By: MakeItSimple. : 2008-09-02
Description: Report fields represent the only way to map data from the data source into the report generating routines. When the data source of the report is a ResultSet, all fields must map to corresponding columns in the ResultSet object. That is, they must have the same name as the columns they map and a compatible type.
109. Using Expressions in JasperReports
By: MakeItSimple. : 2008-09-02
Description: Expressions are a powerful feature of JasperReports. They can be used for declaring report variables that perform various calculations, for data grouping on the report, to specify report text fields content or to further customize the appearance of objects on the report.
110. Using Variables in JasperReports
By: MakeItSimple. : 2008-09-02
Description: A Report variable is a special objects build on top of an expression. Variables can be used to simplify the report design by declaring only once an expression that is heavily used throughout the report design or to perform various calculations on the corresponding expressions.
