Thanks! Using openreports helped me out here. I was able to do the search there, using a txt-field where I could not have a drop-down-list. So everything is working for me on my XP. is this what is referred to as crystal-reports !? still beeing new to this lingo. getting into trouble when exporting my .war to a debian machine, getting a 'java.lang.ClassCastException' - is my app trying to connect to some .jars in the JBoss installation instead of those I provided. due to the fact the openreports is built using JasperReports I ask this question here. :unsure: regards, i

Hello, thanks for the advice. So I could write a simple servlet-app where the JSP has three fields, based on the input of those fields I will conduct a search and the resultset will be displayed in jasperreport ....(jr) Sound like I could do all in my servlet with no use of jr? or do you mean that I write my serlvet within the 'framework' of jr ? Not so familiar with jr. testing openreports, based on jasperreports, at the moment,I could ask more questions in that forum on this subject related to input instead of drop-down menus. regards, i

Hello! Having a table with more than 300.000 posts. These are stored in a mysql database. I want to be able to search those post with an sql-query, giving me a result-set of 3000-4000 posts. Not knowing Jasperreports, wanting to favour OS and learn OS-applications when I do small apps like this one. Is JasperReports the right tool for me, or do I have to write a small Servlet program for this which hands me the result on a jsp-page ? Thinking that Excel and VBA could give me a fair result here. But both approaches would require that I have to study to get into the technique, rather read about OS. could anyone give me an advice on how to handle this problem. regards, i
