An introduction to JasperReports Server and its key capabilities

JasperReports Server is a stand-alone and embeddable reporting server, enabling delivery of mission critical information on a real-time or scheduled basis to the web, to the printer, or to a variety of file formats. Build a report in iReport and then deploy it to JasperReports Server. The report can then be executed, exported to a desired output, or scheduled to execute at a later date.
