Installing JasperReports Server manually

Manual JasperReports Server (JRS) installations involve using the jasperreports-server-<version>-bin.zip package, which you can find in the integrations\JasperSoft_<version> folder of the WorldServer distribution kit.

About this task

The JasperReports Server version included in the WorldServer distribution kit has been customized specifically for WorldServer and is intended to work on the following platforms:
  • Windows
  • Linux
  • Oracle OpenJDK 17 (for WorldServer 11.8.2) or Oracle OpenJDK 11 (for WorldServer 11.8.0 and 11.8.1) — 64-bit; not included in the distribution kit
  • Java Runtime Environment 17 (for WorldServer 11.8.2) or Java Runtime Environment 11 (for WorldServer 11.8.0 and 11.8.1) — included in the distribution kit; you can find it under <js-install>\Reports\jre-windows and <js-install>/Reports/jre-linux, respectively
  • Apache Tomcat 9.x — included in the distribution kit; you can find it under \<js-install>\Reports\tomcat
To embed JasperReports Server pages into WorldServer, you need a fully functional instance of WorldServer 11.8, including WorldServer Classic (Java 17 + Tomcat 9).
