Importing reports automatically

Support
#1

Is it possible to initiate db with any created in the development phase reports including some templates,
using the Cuba Platform abilities of course?

Hello @razandale ,

for the import you can use the service ‘com.haulmont.cuba.core.app.importexport.EntityImportExportService’:

EntityImportView view= new EntityImportView(Customer.class);
byte[] bytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(resource.getInputStream());
String json = new String(bytes, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
entityImportExportService.importEntitiesFromJSON(json, view);

You can find more information here.

For reports you use the service ‘com.haulmont.reports.app.service.ReportService’:

byte[] bytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(resource.getInputStream());
EnumSet<ReportImportOption> importOptions = EnumSet.of(ReportImportOption.DO_NOT_IMPORT_ROLES);
reportService.importReportsWithResult(bytes, importOptions);

Many greetings
Andreas

In order to import reports automatically at server start, create a bean and subscribe to the AppContextStartedEvent. In the event handler method, you can check if the database contains any reports and execute the ReportService.importReports() method mentioned by Andreas.

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
So if I’ve got it right the full sequence is:

  1. Create reports in the Cuba platform.
  2. Download the reports as zip files.
  3. Put zip files some where in the project.
  4. Create a bean that is subscribed to the AppContextStartedEvent.
  5. Inside the bean load the reports with ReportService.importReports() method mentioned by @Andreas
