It's very simple to run the nextreports-server. First, you must build the project using above steps. After building process go to dist folder and replace some variables:

In login page enter the default username and password: admin as username and 1 as password.

Using Maven

NextReports Server comes with some web services that allows other applications to interact with the server using a simple API on following levels:

  • storage level: list reports, charts, folders, data sources; create folders; publish reports, charts and data sources; download reports and charts (these methods are also used by NextReports Designer)
  • process level: run reports on the server from your proprietary applications with your specific parameters values

In your pom.xml you must define the dependencies to nextreports-server-clients artifacts with:

<dependency>
    <groupId>ro.nextreports</groupId>
    <artifactId>nextreports-server-client</artifactId>
    <version>${nextreports-server-client.version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${nextreports-server-client.version} is the last nextreports-server-client version.
