How safe o use JasperReport 0.5 in J2EE contn

2004-08-25 02:32

Hi All,

 

Jasper report intenally uses java.awt packages very extensively. And java.awt package creates internal threads for some processing (not very sure which are such cases/classes)

 

However, my understanding is, in J2EE it is not at all recommended to create threads by the application program or any tool/library used to build the application logic.

 

Summing up these points - is it at all recomended to use Jasper Report APIs within J2EE container ?

 

Some of the recent post says that while calling Jasper APIs from a J2EE application JVM crash has happened. Can this be related to creation of addiotional thread in J2EE container by Jasper library through the use of java.awt classes ?

 

Any point/clarification will be really helpful.

 

Regards,
