Deploying JReport Portlet to portal servers

Assume JReport Server is installed to C:\JReport\Server, before you can deploy JReport Portlet to any portal server, you need to package the JReport Portlet WAR file by running the following command.

C:\JReport\Server\bin\makewar buildPortletWar

When this is done, you can find the file jrportlet.war in C:\JReport\Server\bin\distribute. Then you need to edit web.xml in \WEB-INF as follows:

• Modify the host and port of of the webservice server according to your environment.
• Set the value of jreport.authorized according to the portal server you install.
