Class DataSourceAttribute

java.lang.Object

org.mapfish.print.attribute.DataSourceAttribute

All Implemented Interfaces:

Attribute, ConfigurationObject

public final class DataSourceAttribute
extends java.lang.Object
implements Attribute

This attribute represents a collection of attributes which can be used as the data source of a Jasper report's table/detail section.

For example consider the case where the report should contain multiple tables or charts but the number of reports may change depending on the request. In this case the client will post a datasource attribute json object containing an array of all the table attribute objects. The DataSourceProcessor will process the datasource attribute and create a Jasper datasource that contains all the tables.

This datasource must be used in tandem with the DataSourceProcessor processor (see !createDataSource processor).

The json data of this attribute is special since it represents an array of attributes, each element in the array must contain all of the attributes required to satisfy the processors in the DataSourceProcessor.

Example configuration:

 datasource: !datasource
   table: !table
   map: !map
     width: 200
     height: 100
 

Example request data:

 datasource: [
   {
       table: {
           ... // normal table attribute data
       },
       map: {
           ... // normal map attribute data
       }
   }, {
       table: {
           ... // normal table attribute data
       },
       map: {
           ... // normal map attribute data
       }
   }
 ]
