We have recently added a new feature to jasper_reports module that allows users to have access to fields structure from iReport, avoiding the need of creating the XML file. Note that although the module works with both v5 and v6 this feature will only be available in v6. Using this functionality is really easy. Simply install latest version of jasper_reports module and in iReport create a new Remote XML file datasource. And in XML URL specify OpenERPs XML-RPC URL and append /jasper/ and the internal name of the model we want to use (in the example purchase.order). After that we can add several paramaters, but all of them are optional, because they can be specified in openerps server configuration file and they also have default values. Heres a list of parameters available: URL Parameter database user password depth language Server parameter jasper_user jasper_depth Default Value Name of the database Username Password of the user Depth of the tree of fields to use Language to use for field labels. Use language & country, such as ca_ES. admin 3

Once youve created the datasource, you can go to the database section, select XPath as language and youll have all fields available, the same way you did when you created an XML file. Note that theres still a small bug in the module with no consecuences from a users perspective but that will show a traceback in servers log. If someone wants to fix it, a patch will be very welcomed!

Hem hagut dactualitzar iReport a la 4 pq el Xpath es pugin veure els camps (abandonar la 3.7). Tamb una manera de saber si la URL es correcta s afegir-ho al navegador web i veurs tot el XML que genera. Salut! Reply

Great news and great job, but i must havec missed something I tried for 2 hours to get rows with XPath and never managed. Yet I managed to get the structure on the right of the report query, but each time I used Refresh Preview Data, no records were read. Some facts : It worked with SQL (btw, the SQL query editor is much more user friendly than the XPath query editor, where you have to type everything, no selection or drag and drop) I tried with iReport 4.1.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.1 and 3.7.6, I never got a record.
