Groovy Script tool enables report templates to evaluate or run Groovy codes from templates and external Groovy files.
The Groovy tool includes two methods:
(i) 'eval' method
This method will evaluate Groovy text, and then return the result.
(ii) 'execute' method
This method will execute a Groovy file, and then return the result.
Like other Script tools, the Groovy Script tool 'scripttool.jar' must be installed in the 'extensions' folder of the Report Wizard plugin, and 'groovy-all-1.7.9.jar' must be included in any class path or the 'extensions' folder. For further information about Custom tools and the installation, see Custom tool.
To import Groovy Script tool to a template, type the following code:
#import ('groovy', 'com.nomagic.reportwizard.tools.script.GroovyTool')
