[neetikamittal]

I have one more question

Are there any differences in pentaho report designer and Ireport,jasperreports.

 

I got a assignment to figure out why one should go for ireports but not with pentaho report designer.

 

If anyone have any knowledge,material,link

Do tell me.

 

Thanks

Pentaho's report designer generates JFreeReport templates, while iReport generates JasperReports templates, so part of your question is related to which is the better reporting engine. I believe you will find that JasperReports is ahead of JFreeReport in terms of functionality and community support.

 

The Pentaho report designer is a commercial product that was recently open sourced. The comments I have seen make it sound like it is of beta quality right now. iReport is a mature environment.
