I am interested this period to reporting tool, since a month ago I am searching the best tool to generate easily and perfectly a good report.
After Business Object and Cristal Report, JfreeChart, then Birt, finally I found jasper Report and his report design tool iRreport.
I choose jasper Report for three reasons. First, Jasper report is easily integrated with Spring framework, in fact, Spring offer a view class to integrate jasper report in your web application.Second, Jasper report use JrfeeCchart to generate some chat. Third, iReport is very good tool, easy to use, rich with his variety of chart. And finally, because with Jasper Report I can generate cross tabs.
To integrate an SVG document into an html file, there are three different tags.
We can use: embed, object or iframe, but the browsers not support all of this tag. Therefore, we have some compatibility problem with every tag.
Some web developers prefer iframe because it is compatible with the most of browser, but the main problem is with internet explorer browser. In fact, when we use this tag, internet explorer sends a couple of request for every document. We can test it, in my case, I have a servlet wich generate an xml file, and a filter to transform the xml to SVG document, so when I use internet explorer, I receive a couple consecutive request, but with firefox I have no problem.
Consequently, I prefer to use embed tag surrounded with object tag, and with this couple, I have not any problem with internet explorer and firefox browser.
Birt is a free and open source business intelligence and reporting tool. I just finish a quick exploitation of some features.
I am using Birt to generate some dynamic reports exposed in a web application.
I think it is not very hard to generate and integrate your report in your web application.
After configuring your web application to work with the runtime birt web application, and installing the birt plugin in your Eclipse, you will be able to make your report with some drag and drop operations. When you show your graphic result, Eclipse generate for you a specific file (your_report_name.rptdesign). Now you must copy this file in your web directory. After restarting your J2EE server, we have only to put the file name in the URL of the standard Birt servlet.
In the Birt Web site you can find a lot of good documents, tutorials and examples with some flash demonstrations.
