Class SwingViewerContext

java.lang.Object

com.inet.viewer.SwingViewerContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

ViewerContext

public class SwingViewerContext
extends java.lang.Object
implements ViewerContext

The default implementation of ViewerContext for i-net Clear Reports Viewer. This takes all errors and displays them in a small error dialog, and shows a simple info dialog when one is requested.

Note that most often the source given for an error will be a SwingReportView, allowing you to make further adjustments to your settings for that view.

For example, if an UnknownHostException comes for a ReportView, you might want to make an adjustment to the ReportView's RenderData object, making it fall back onto a backup report server instead of the original one:

class MyErrorHandler extends SwingViewerContext {
   public void showError( ViewerException e, Object source ) {
     if (source instanceof ReportView && e.getCause() instanceof UnknownHostException) {
       ((ReportView)source).getReportData().setReportLocation( "http://www.backupserver.com:9000/?report=file:backupreport.rpt" );
       ((ReportView)source).reload();
     }
   }

It is also possible you would like to add specific logging to all errors shown:

class MyErrorHandler extends SwingViewerContext {
public void showError( ViewerException e, Object source ) {
// ...log the error here...
super.showError(e,source);
}

Constructor Detail

SwingViewerContext

public SwingViewerContext(SwingReportViewer viewer)

Creates a SwingViewerContext with a reference to a SwingReportViewer which is used for example when parent components are needed for dialogs, etc.

Parameters:

viewer - SwingReportViewer to which this context belongs.

Since:

7.1

SwingViewerContext

public SwingViewerContext(java.awt.Component parent)

Creates a SwingViewerContext with a reference to a parent Component which is used for example when parent components are needed for dialogs, etc.

Parameters:

parent - Parent to which this context belongs.

Since:

15.0

Method Detail

showInfo

public void showInfo()

Shows the info screen of this viewer.

Specified by:

showInfo in interface ViewerContext

Since:

7.0

showError

public void showError(java.lang.Throwable e,
                      java.lang.Object source)

This method will be called whenever an error occurs and thereby allows the implementor of this interface to handle the error as seen fit.

Specified by:

showError in interface ViewerContext

Parameters:

e - The Throwable of the error that actually occurred.

source - The source where the exception occurred, such as the SwingReportView or SwingPageView.

Since:

7.0

export

public ExportProgress export(ReportView view)

This method is called when the export action is to be performed. By default, this will show the export dialog and then export the currently visible report view's report with the settings given by the user.

Specified by:

export in interface ViewerContext

Parameters:

view - ReportView whose report is to be exported

Returns:

the progress

Since:

7.0

export

public ExportProgress export(java.awt.Component parent,
                             RenderData data,
                             java.beans.PropertyChangeListener changeListener)

Opens the export dialog with the given parent as its parent and exports using the provided RenderData object. This method can be called without first initializing a ReportViewer if so desired. Note that this method is never called by the viewer itself, rather it is meant for you to call yourself if you want to export without initializing a viewer.

Parameters:

parent - Parent to display the dialog in

data - RenderData to use for retrieving the export data

changeListener - PropertyChangeListener that will be notified whenever a bean changes a "bound" property.

Returns:

the running export progress

Since:

7.6

export

public ExportProgress export(java.awt.Component parent,
                             RenderData data)

Opens the export dialog with the given parent as its parent and exports using the provided RenderData object. This method can be called without first initializing a ReportViewer if so desired. Note that this method is never called by the viewer itself, rather it is meant for you to call yourself if you want to export without initializing a viewer.

Parameters:

parent - Parent to display the dialog in

data - RenderData to use for retrieving the export data

Returns:

the running export progress

Since:

7.6

print

public Progress print(ReportView view)

This method is called when the print action is to be performed. By default, this will show a print dialog and then print the given report view's report.

Specified by:

print in interface ViewerContext
