JasperReports & Atlassian products – Take a look

In this post we will examine how integrate JasperReport by Jaspersoft with Atlassian products. Let’s go 🙂

Nice to meet you

Let me introduce Jasperreport and Jaspersoft. I think first step must be a presentation :). JasperReport is an open source java reporting tool. For more information, see the wikipedia page 🙂

This youtube video describe some information

So, as we say in Italy : Andando al dunque; JasperReport is a report tool. We can use it to obtain datas which help us make a decision. Well, We can integrate it with Atlassian products, using it as the center of the informaton.

After a small search in Marketplace, I got a Jira Addon: Smart Reports ; which helps embed report in own Jira Server Instance, as shown in folowing images:

This addon can manage custom reports

But this is the beginning. As shown in this video:

we can embed JasperReport in a HTML page. So this fact make possible insert a JasperReport in a Confluence page, where we can put a Javascript code.

OK. I understand the question. HTML and Javascript must be disabled in Confluence Page: security must be high. Ok. But we can use specific addons which help embed javascript in safe mode, like HTML Macro for Confluence Cloud, described in ArtigianodelSoftware blog.
