Ad Hoc Reporting?

2004-03-07 12:59

I can see that JasperReports does a good job generating "canned" reports. I haven't, however, found an example of it being used to do ad hoc reporting? The application I am developing requires that the user input some criteria and then generate the report. Is this something that JasperReports can handle?

Yes, it is possible. Have you checked out the noxmldesign sample? You just have to create your own classes to populate or modify a JasperDesign at runtime.

Or generate and compile the xml report at run time.

 

It only adds +/- 1 to 3 seconds to the report run time. And if you use a cache of the compiled reports, only the first hit is that slow.
