Interface DrillDownReportListener

public interface DrillDownReportListener

DrillDownReportListener must be implemented by those classes that wish to receive the drill-down reports. The drill-down reports are produced by clicking on the mouse-sensitive fields in primary reports; this triggers generation of the report by the server, and sending the results in the form of a Vector, to the requesting client application. The following code sample shows how the application can implements DrillDownReportListener to receive reports:

 import java.io.*;
 import javax.swing.*;
 import com.gestalt.scribe.*;
 public class Controller implements DrillDownReportListener
 {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
       new Controller();
    }

    public Controller()
    {
       try	// The Scribe server runs on host 192.168.1.12, listening on port 6541
       {	// The calling app logs in as user "heidi", with password "hello"
          Connector conn = new Connector("192.168.1.12", 6541, "heidi", "hello");
          String reportName = "Customer";
          Vector parameterList = conn.getReportParameters(reportName);
          ParameterPacket packet = (ParameterPacket) parameterList.elementAt(0);
          packet.setValue("VINET");
          conn.displayReport(reportName, parameterList);
       }
       catch (ServerConnectionException e)
       {
          System.out.println(e);
       }
    }

/*
**  Implementation of DrillDownReportListener interface. This method is called

*/
    public void displayReport(String reportName, Vector lines)
    {
       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Drill down (" + reportName + ")");
       frame.addNotify();
       frame.pack();
       ReportPanel view = new ReportPanel(lines, reportName);
       JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(view);
       frame.getContentPane().add(scrollPane);
       frame.setSize(300, 400);
       frame.validate();
       frame.setVisible(true);
    }
 }

Method Summary

void	displayReport(java.lang.String reportName, java.util.Vector lines)

Method Detail

displayReport

public void displayReport(java.lang.String reportName,
                          java.util.Vector lines)

Provides a hook for the Scribe API to send the completed drill-down report to. The report is received by this method in a form of a Vector of objects that mut be passed to ReportPanel in order to be displayed.

Parameters:

reportName - name of the drill-down report.
lines - a Vector of objects to be passed to ReportPanel.
