Where can I find this datasource. Can I download this database somewhere.

Can you also show the results of the labels once : does it print more than one label in the length.

Already many thanks for your help

The sql queries in the templates were made for the database of a propietary student information system named RenWeb. However you can easily modify the sql query to fit your database, I recommend using iReport for that.

Yes, the labels template do print 3 across because it uses columns.

Hi, thank for your template, work great. I ran into some difficulty in my servlet when compiling the .jrxml. In iReport it work perfecly, but in tomcat, jasper compiler crash with the folling error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/control/CompilationFailedException
Simply edit Mail_label_5960.jrxml and remove the language="groovy" attribut from jasperReport node.

Hi André, thank you for your tip, I had forgotten to mention that I use groovy for all my templates :). At work I also use jasperserver but I have the groovy jars in the lib folder of the jasperserver webapp, so I guess that is why it worked for me. Thank you again for your solution to that potential problem.

Juan,

Thank you for your sample.

I have recently been asked if iReport has templates for Avery labels, and yours is the only posting I have found so far.

Up to this point, I have only used iReport for basic forms and reports, and have not delved into java or groovy much.

Just how would I use the Avery sample you point to within iReport?

Are there any other Avery label templates you are aware of, or will I need to create one each time someone requests one?

Thank you,
Thomas

Juan,

Never mind...I figured out how to use the sample in iReport.

Sometimes the most obvious answer is the hardest to see. If I took one second to look at the sample's file name it would have been self-evident.

Thank you,

Thomas

Juan, I'm the I.S. Administrator for a church that is considering RenWeb for it's new Academy in 2009. Our RenWeb sales rep isn't very forth-coming about the RenWeb database. Two questions:

Is there a published ODBC connection or database diagram for RenWeb?

Have you heard of anyone importing into the RenWeb database?

Thanks...bc.

Dear I.S. Administrator,

For now, RenWeb provides READ ONLY access to their SQL Server database. The database is a MS SQL server 2005 and you have *view* access to pretty much all the data in the program. There is no diagram of the database structure, but there is an spreadsheet listing all the fields and tables. I use iReport when creating reports and it has a nice interface to deal with the tables; you may find this or any other reporting tool handy. We access the database using JDBC, but you will also be able to use ODBC or anything else that can connect to an MS SQL Server.

Before buying RenWeb, I thought I could import data programitaclly (SQL or .NET) but that is not the case. The main reason they do not allow write access to their internal database is that the user could mess it up by executing the wrong SQL query. And no, they won't make any exceptions to this rule ... I already tried :)

Another thing worth noting is that they plan to replace this direct access to their database with a specialized Reporting tool. They have not find the right tool yet, so they still allow people to use SQL directly. That is probably why the sales rep did not want to talk about it, maybe he knows the SQL access won't be there for long.

In general, RenWeb has proven to be a fine SIS for us and specially for our teachers (they love the gradebook and homework modules b/c of their simplicity)

God bless,
Juan

Hi Henry!

My new webhost had some problems transferring the domain name. The link in the post should be working now; if it does not, try clearing the DNS cache.

Thanks,

That's excellent.
I have been having issues creating html and css template with avery, with issues of printing from firefox.

I have used iReports before. Took me about 15 minutes to modify to suite my database, then printed 800 labels, perfect fit with Avery 5960.

Also, if you need the schema this came from, its pretty easy to reverse engineer the query, and the tables pop out. If you don't understand the query, then you probably won't understand the schema.

Power Automate: SFTP action "Test connection failed"

When I added an SFTP create file action to my Power Automate flow ( https://flow.microsoft.com ) , I got the following error in the action step, within the designer: "Test connection failed" To troubleshoot the Power Automate connection, I had to: go the Power Automate portal then "Data"->"Connections"  the sftp connection was there, I clicked on the ellipsis, and entered the connection info It turns out, that screen provides more details about the connection error. In my case, it was complaining that "SSH host key finger-print xxx format is not supported. It must be in 'MD5' format". I had provided the sha fingerprint that WinScp shows. Instead, I needed to use the MD5 version of the fingerprint. To get that, I had to run in command line (I was in a folder that had openssh in it): ssh -o FingerprintHash=md5 mysftpsite.com To get the fingerprint in MD5 format. I took the string (without the "MD5:" part of the string) and put ...

How to create online multiplayer HTML5 games in Contruct2

  Construct2 can use websockets to send and receive messages between games. By using socket-io , we can use a Node.js script as the server and my modification to the socket-io plugin for Construct2 to allow the games to synchronize data between them in real-time. There are two parts to this design: the Node.js server and the Construct2 clients (the games playing). The main part of building an online multiplayer HTML5 game is to plan: how the clients will communicate how often and what to communicate how much of the logic will go into the server and how much to the client. In my sample game, I chose to have each client own a player and have the server just relay messages: Use string messages in the form TypeOfMessage, Parameter1, Paremeter2, Parater3, etc to communicate. Have the clients send their player position about 16 times a second. Whenever their player shoots, the client needs to send a message immediately. Almost all of the game logic will...

How to use Windows SSO with OpenXava

One of the nice things about the .NET web environment is the dead easy way to implement Single Sign On in your web apps through Active Directory authentication. In the Java world there are multiple alternatives to use Windows’ Single Sign On with Java based web apps. One of those alternatives is Waffle . Waffle allows your Java web app to authenticate against Active Directory groups (and users). The only caveat is that your web server needs to be running in Windows, which kind of makes sense. In this article, you will learn the steps required to have your OpenXava web application use Waffle to authenticate your Windows users. The first step is to download Waffle from their site and then copy the JAR files outlined in https://github.com/dblock/waffle/blob/master/Docs/tomcat/TomcatSingleSignOnValve.md to the OpenXava’s tomcat server. In your OpenXava project, create servlets.xml in the Web-inf, containing the following: <!-- the role name (the domain gorup) must be e...
