title: Using a .jasper file present within a jar file
body: <p>We are using <code>JasperReports</code> as our reporting tool. Earlier we were using relative paths for
  jasper files for filling report and it's working fine.</p>
  
  <p>Now, we want to create a new jar for all compiled <code>jrxml</code> files. i.e a jar containing all <code>.jasper</code> files for our project.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to access those <code>.jasper</code> files within a jar file while filling report. Because in documentation, i always see</p>
  
  <p><code>fillReport(java.lang.String sourceFileName, java.util.Map params)</code></p>
  
  <p>where, sourcefile is always a path on filesystem.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, is there a way to access compiled <code>.jasper</code> files present within a jar file
  and fill report based on those files ?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong>
  Essentially what is required is, i need to access <code>.jasper</code> files from a jar file, and then fill reports using that <code>.jasper</code> file and save the generated reports onto a filesystem.</p>
