Hi...

I am new to these reports.

 

What is the design of Jasper Reports.

Does it use Stylesheets to apply on XML generated for Report, to deliver the HTML content ?

 

Thanks

1. From your experience, how easy is it to use Jasper Reports to write reports that pick data from your own datasource, not database.

2. How is JasperReports different from OpenReports (also available at sourceforge.net).

3. Is there support for charting available or coming up ?

 

Thanks !

Hi,

 

Please see my replies inline.

 

1. From your experience, how easy is it to use Jasper Reports to write reports that pick data from your own datasource, not database.

No difference either it is your own datasource or database. Both method is very easy to bring up a cool report using Jasper.

 

2. How is JasperReports different from OpenReports (also available at sourceforge.net).

No Idea.

 

3. Is there support for charting available or coming up ?

You can easily integrate any 3rd party charts into Jasper reports. You can refer the sample demo with name "chart "present in Jasper reports which uses JFree Charts.

 

Regards,

Navaneethan.

In answer to #2

 

Openreports users Jaspers Reports. Openreports is a web front end that allows users to select a report and enter parameters to run the report. You still need to know jasper reports to create the reports.
