How to Execute A Report using iReport

Assuming that you have your Data source ready (ie. A Query/Hibernate) It’s a simple matter to execute the report.

You can execute a Report either with data or without data. If you are going to view without data you need to set your “When No Data Type” to “All section No detail” as demonstrated here.

You can execute the report by using the Buildà Execute (Empty Data source) OR Buildà Execute (With Active Connection) in the Main Menu under Build. OR you can simply click the execute button which in the toolbar. (Which will be place on the right hand side by default).
