In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "You will also learn the details of the Pentaho Reporting Engine data API specification, allowing you to implement your own DataFactory, if necessary."
A block of code is set as follows:
// Defining the connection provider.
DriverConnectionProvider provider = new DriverConnectionProvider();
provider.setDriver("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
provider.setProperty("user", "pentaho_user");
provider.setProperty("password", "password");
provider.setUrl("jdbc:hsqldb:./resources/sampledata/sampledata");
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
// Defining the connection provider.
DriverConnectionProvider provider = new DriverConnectionProvider();
provider.setDriver("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
provider.setProperty("user", "pentaho_user");
provider.setProperty("password", "password");
provider.setUrl("jdbc:hsqldb:./resources/sampledata/sampledata");
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
mvn clean install
mvn package
java -jar target/dependency/jetty-runner.jar target/*.war
New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Clicking the OK button moves you to the next screen."
