Jasper Reports + JSF + Glassfish

[gkari]

Hi All,

We want to integrate Jasper Reports into our application (JSF/Icefaces/Glassfish)

We are trying to seek pointers on how the Jasper Engine would function inside of the application server. Does it get initialised/started up when the application is deployed or does it stay un-initialised until the first request for the report is made ( and is then lazily loaded). Also, once it is loaded, does it remain active or keeps getting initialised with every report request.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
