Online documentation
The information in the printed manuals is also available as online books in
Adobe Acrobat PDF format and in the online help system for the Actuate
products. For products without a Windows interface, such as the various
versions of Actuate e.Reporting Server, Actuate e.Report Designer Java
Edition, Actuate ReportCast, and Actuate e.Analysis, we provide HTML help
files. The HTML files install automatically with the product. These files can be
viewed with standard browsers.
Using online manuals

The online manuals install automatically with the product. On the product
CD, you can also find those files in the Manuals directory. Open the
introductory .PDF file to get an overview of the manuals. The items in the
table of contents and the page numbers in the index both contain links to the
appropriate topics in the text. In the index, you access the link by positioning
your cursor over the page number, not the topic.

Differences between the AWT and SWING API

The following are the differences between e.Report Designer Java Edition API
for Swing and for AWT:
■ The e.Report Designer Java Edition API for Swing works with JDK 1.2 and
higher. e.Report Designer Java Edition API for Swing does not work with
JDK 1.1.x.
■ The e.Report Designer Java Edition API for AWT works with Java 1.1.6 and
higher.
■ The e.Report Designer Java Edition API for Swing supports the EJB data
source, the e.Report Designer Java Edition API for AWT does not.
■ The e.Report Designer Java Edition API for Swing is based on the Swing
user interface libraries.
■ The e.Report Designer Java Edition API for AWT is based on the AWT user
interface libraries.
■ The e.Report Designer Java Edition API for Swing requires a minimum of
64 MB of RAM to run. Memory requirements increase as the size of your
data and report increases.
■ The e.Report Designer Java Edition API for AWT requires a minimum of 32
MB. Memory requirements increase as the size of your data and report
increases.
The following describes the differences between e.Report Designer Java
Edition API for Swing and AWT.
AppDataHandler
In the SWING API, passTableData and registerDataSet take the second
argument as a Collection.
In the AWT API, passTableData and registerDataSet take the second argument
as a Vector.
In Java 2, a Vector extends Collection.

ASCIIDataHandler
The AWT and SWING API are the same.
JDBCDataHandler
MetaDataHandler
EJBDataHandler
The class is present only in the SWING API.
ACJDesigner
In the SWING API, one of the constructors takes the first argument as a
javax.swing.JFrame.
In the AWT API, one of the constructors takes the first argument as a
java.awt.Frame.
In the SWING API, there is an additional method getRegdEJBDataHandler().
In the SWING API, there is an additional method setDefaultLookAndFeel.
ACJEngine
TemplateManager
In the SWING API, there is only one method called setPageMargins().
In the AWT API, there are two methods called setPageMargins(). The second
method in AWT takes 4 double arguments, the left, right, top and bottom
margins of the page.

ACJOutputProcessor
In the SWING API, getPreviewDevice() returns javax.swing.JPanel.
In the AWT API, getPreviewDevice() returns a java.awt.Panel.
In the SWING API, the generatePRINTOUT() methods return
java.awt.print.PrinterJob.
In the AWT API, the generatePRINTOUT() methods return a
java.awt.PrintJob.

extracted for generating reports, the Template Manager, which handles the
template skeleton structure, the Expression Evaluator, which is capable of
processing formulae embedded inside the report, and a communication stub,
which provides an interface for buffered raw report data to be fetched by the
output devices.

ACJEngine.generateReport
public com.actuate.ereport.common.IViewerInterface generateReport()
Generates a report and returns the IViewerInterface instance required by
ACJOutputProcessor. Alternatively, you can call getDATReader(boolean b) or
getCommunicationStub(). These calls do not generate the report immediately,
however. They generate the report only when you request the data from the
report. These calls are useful when working with reports that use parameters.
The following initialization is required before generating a report:

1 The template should be read properly.
2 ACJEngine should have a valid data source and should be connected to it.
3 If the template under consideration has any parameters, the parameter
values should be set properly.
Returns
An implementation of IViewerInterface communication interface
Throws
An exception occurs if the report generation process is abnormally terminated.
Abnormal termination usually occurs because of a fatal error.
ACJEngine.getColValue

implementation is com.actuate.ereport.engine.stub.DefaultReadOnlyStub.
Returns
An implementation of the IViewerInterface communication stub.
ACJEngine.getData source

instance is destroyed whenever a call to the newSystem() or newTemplate()
methods is made. When the instance is destroyed, you must re-query the
engine for the instance of the newly created Template Manager.

section), and resets the instance of the Template Manager maintained by the
engine.

Manager, which autogenerates a query, fetches a record set from the active
Data source, formats the data, and notifies the IPrinter implementation for
different printing messages.

Throws
An exception occurs whenever the report generation process is abnormally
terminated. Abnormal termination usually occurs because of a fatal error.

+--com.actuate.ereport.output.ACJOutputProcessor
_____________________________________________________________________
public class ACJOutputProcessor extends java.lang.Object
This class provides APIs for generating the report output from the template
file. You can write your own code to read the template file and generate the
report. After setting the raw report data in ACJOutputProcessor, you can
generate the output in the required format without having to make use of the
designer. You do not need GUI components for generating the report. You can
set the properties for the output devices using the setXXXProperty methods
provided in this class and then call the required generate methods.

c
If the report is contains parameters, pass Visible to display the Enter Parameter
Values dialog box. Pass Null to bypass displaying the dialog box.

ASCIIDataHandler, EJBDataHandler
public class AppDataHandler
extends com.actuate.ereport.engine.MetadataAdapter
Implements com.actuate.ereport.engine.IDataSource, java.io.Serializable.
This is the main class that implements the interface between ACJEngine and
an application data source. Use this class to define the data structure and to
pass the data objects to ACJEngine. Note that each table name must be unique.
A column name must be unique within that table; however, duplicate column
names in different tables are permitted. AppDataSrc uses an object/relational
mapping architecture to describe the structure of your object to ACJEngine.
Think of your object and its variables and methods as analogous to a database
table with columns.This structure makes it possible to convey object oriented
information in a relational form to ACJEngine. This relational form can then be
used to execute SQL-like queries to generate reports.

generateReportPage and instantiates the data stream, It calls this
method to handle the formatting and writing of
controls to the output stream
OD_DHTML. Writes the Table Of contents if specified to the Html
generateTOCPage file

or create new component as needed.
component
For java 1.x.x versions to create an offscreen image a visible component is
required this component should work as a ImageObserver the value of
component must be passed as null in case you want to generate html output
without any window system however in this case no image will be added to
the html file.

Class TemplateManager
java.lang.Object
|
+--com.actuate.ereport.engine.TemplateManager
_____________________________________________________________________
public class TemplateManager
extends java.lang.Object
This is the main class to access the template in ACJEngine. Most aspects of the
template can be controlled using this class. An ACJEngine template has
several logical parts: Section, Zone, Group, Control, and so on. Central to
accessing these parts is a control ID. Each piece of the template has a control ID
that uniquely identifies it within the template. Duplicate control IDs are not
allowed. Most of the methods in this class work a generic object class. You can,
however, pass the control ID within double quotation marks as a string
constant to refer to a particular control.
