Chapter 5: Working with Other Datasources

In the previous chapter, we mentioned that JasperReports allows us to use not only databases, but also many other sources of data to generate reports. In this chapter, we will cover how to use datasources, other than databases, to create
our reports.Since creating web-based reports is by far the most common use
of JasperReports, most examples in this chapter will use the technique, described in Chapter 3, to stream a PDF report to a web browser via the JasperFillManager.fillReportToStream() method.
