Sample Application

The sample application that is included in the documentation (sample.java) is a sample for i-net Clear Reports as standalone Java application. That means it uses i-net Clear Reports along with the i-net Clear Reports viewer (ReportViewer.jar) together in one standalone application on the same computer. Therefore there is no need for the usage of a server application or a web server. In this case you need only this one application to display, print or export your reports.

1. Install the Java VM
   If you have not installed a Java VM already then you should do it now. We recommend Java SE 5 (or higher). You can download it from the Java SE download site.
2. Download i-net Clear Reports
   You can download i-net Clear Reports from our website.
   The file ClearReports<version>.zip contains i-net Clear Reports, the i-net Clear Reports viewer, the i-net Designer, the documentation, Java code samples and this sample application (sample.java).
3. Request a trial license key from our website or purchase a license
   You can request a trial license key for the IP address of the machine running i-net Clear Reports on our website or you can purchase an i-net Clear Reports license in our Online Store.
4. Install i-net Clear Reports runtime library and the documentation
   Extract the file “ClearReports_<version>_win.zip” in a directory on your hard drive, e.g.: “C:\ClearReportsSetup” and execute the setup.exe to install i-net Clear Reports. Enter the license key (trial or purchased) in the field “License Key”.
5. Execute the sample application
   The file sample.java is located in the root directory of the i-net Clear Reports code samples: ”<install_dir>/client/documentation/samples”. Compile this file with your Java compiler and then execute it on the console:
   • java -classpath .;./core/ClearReports.jar samples.Sample
     or on Linux:
   • java -classpath .:./core/ClearReports.jar samples.Sample
