This is an outdated approach to use jasperserver's REST capabilities.
You can find the official Jasperserver Rest project here : https://github.com/Jaspersoft/jrs-rest-java-client

A Simple Java Client for Jasperserver 4.5 (and Above) that uses the Web Service API based on the REST framework

In simple words, you can run a report published in a remote server and retrieve the generated file (pdf or excel) to a local folder.

You will need maven 3 (http://maven.apache.org/) to build this library.

This library is created by Kudos Ltda.

The following unit tests are available:

• testGetReportAsFile
• testGetBigReportAsFile
• testGetBigReportAsExcelFile
• testGetReportWithParamsAsFile

Execute a report without parameters:

Report report = new Report(); report.setUrl("/reports/samples/Employees"); report.setOutputFolder(outPutDir.getAbsolutePath()); JasperserverRestClient client = JasperserverRestClient.getInstance(serverUrl, serverUser, serverPassword); File reportFile = client.getReportAsFile(report); 

Execute a report with parameters:

Report report = new Report(); report.setUrl("/reports/samples/Department"); report.setOutputFolder(outPutDir.getAbsolutePath()); report.addParameter("department", "11"); JasperserverRestClient client = JasperserverRestClient.getInstance(serverUrl, serverUser, serverPassword); File reportFile = client.getReportAsFile(report);
