Approach to use JasperServer with custom java web application?

I need to implement a BI and reporting module for a custom ERP system. ERP is built using Java/JSP, Spring3, Struts2, Hibernate3, & MySQL; while security stuff is managed by spring security.

As off my current findings, one of the standard approach to use jasperserver for my purpose would be:

My question is that, what if I get source code of jasperserver and add it to my ERP's workspace in Eclipse, as just another java project and then try to use custom data source for under lying jasperserver; in order to power the reports from with-in my web-application? Of course the reports & dashboard still needs to be designed in iReport or JasperDesigner, but for filling the data i'll use my own code.

Can this also solve the issue of managing 2 separate apps? Does JasperServer source code helps here? Is this feasible? or is this even some thing practically achievable in a given time period?

Please suggest. Thanks

Jasper Reports can also be used as a library and it works like any other Java library, by the way, you can get the library from here: https://community.jaspersoft.com/project/jasperreports-library (note that it's also included on Jasper Server and iReports)
