Export JasperReport to PDF OutputStream?

Question

I\'m writing a pretty simple sample project for familiarizing myself with Jasper Reports. I\'d like to export a report I\'ve configured to a PDF OutputStream, b

Ok, so here's how it works; JasperFillManager actually returns a JasperPrint object, so:

// get the JRXML template as a stream
InputStream template = JasperReportsApplication.class
    .getResourceAsStream("/sampleReport.xml");
// compile the report from the stream
JasperReport report = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(template);
// fill out the report into a print object, ready for export. 
JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, new HashMap());
// export it!
File pdf = File.createTempFile("output.", ".pdf");
JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(print, new FileOutputStream(pdf));

Enjoy.
