PDF from Java Collection using JasperReports

1. Add JasperReports depencency to pom.xml
   <dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId>
<artifactId>jasperreports</artifactId>
<version>${jasperreports.version}</version>
</dependency>
2. Create POJO
3. Create JasperReports template students.jrxml with Jaspersoft Studio (see screenshot in the attachments)
   Compile the jrxml file to jasper file -> students.jasper file is created
4. Run creation method createPDF("./students.jasper"); with compiled jasper file


public static void createPDF(String jasperFile){
List studentList = new ArrayList<>();
studentList.add(new Student("Lisa", "Mayer"));
studentList.add(new Student("Patrick", "Huber"));
studentList.add(new Student("Werner", "Reiter"));
studentList.add(new Student("Bettina", "Gruber"));
studentList.add(new Student("Dominik", "Berner"));

JRBeanCollectionDataSource beanColDataSource = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(studentList);
JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperFile, new HashMap(), beanColDataSource);
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, "students.pdf"); // see attachment students.pdf
}
