Project description:

This project will enable Jasper Reports to be evaluated as macros, to enable complex macro processing.

It will be invoked by an xpath function which will take the name of the report to run, and the object to run with e.g.:

 macro:run("Discharge Summary", .)

The report will be run against the supplied object, converted to text, and replace the macro text.

I've uploaded a snapshot of OpenVPMS 1.7 to http://demo.openvpms.org/alpha/login that includes this change.

You can access it with the user name guest and password User1234.

For demo purposes, I've created a small Jasper report that lists the medications for the current patients' most recent visit.

To try it out, select a patient, and either mail, or edit something like a patient note and type:

@dischargesummary

Rather than using macro functions to launch report macros, a new macro type, "Report Macro" has been created. This is linked to the report template and has an expression that determines what the report is run with. E.g the @dischargesummary macro above has the expression

party:getPatientVisit($patient)

This feature goes further than the original spec; OpenOffice and Word templates may also be used as macros.
