Hi all!
How can I create a report from a Java application?
I've been developing a (small) JDBC app that retrieves invoice data giving
its number.
(I'm using a Swing GUI)
The app works fine so I can get all info I need from my network database.
I just don't know how to create a formatted output report!
The report should be viewed and/or printed.
I've been looking in huge Sun's Tutorials - no luck!
Where should I look for? Doesn't Java provides some way to do it? Do I need
additional software?
(I'm using J2SE 5.0 JDK with NetBeans 4.0)
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge Cecilio

I'd look into converting the ResultSets to XML, then use a parser to
transform the data via XSLT. A bit cumbersome, it would seem, but you
may end up liking the ease of use and ease of changing the output using
a simple tool like VI. I don't know if there is a HTML viever component
in Java these days, but if there is, transform the XML to XHTML for
viewing. Printing should then also be a breeze.
Cheers,
Have a look at Scribe: www.reportgenerator.org.
The Enterprise version comes with the API library to let your app run
reports programmaticall y. The reports can be PDF or HTML formatted, or can
be displayed in your JFrame.
I posted an ad in comp.lang.java. announce yesterday, but it usually takes a
few days before any post shows up there.

You may look at the Jasper reports. For more information, visit http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/
Hope it helps.

First, I should start by saying I am creating a database to be used by
some very impatient, non-computer literate people. It needs to be
seameless in it's operation from their point of view. I want them to
do as little as possible when they run their reports.
I have a crosstab query that displays usage of items for each month.
It looks pretty much like this:

There are 82 Headings and a total of 6000+ products which makes a big

A Printed version of the Catalogue is done every 2 Months and we manually

change depending on New or Deleted product ranges.

Is it possible to step through the "Create MDE" process and see what is

I tried, unsuccessfully, many times to create an MDE from my database.
