OpenReports JFreeReport Integration
I recently decided to take another look at JFreeReport after reading some news items on www.jfree.org while downloading the latest version of JFreeChart. I haven’t looked at JFreeReport in a number of years after my initial impression that it’s TableModel based design was more suited for a desktop based application then a web based application. Now that JFreeReport has joined Pentaho and the Pentaho Report Designer is available to create reports, I figured I would see how hard it would be to integrate with OpenReports.
Basic integration was fairly straight forward, and I am now able to generate HTML JFreeReports through OpenReports. If there is any interest, I may include JFreeReport support in the next release of OpenReports. Are there any JFreeReport users out there? Is JFreeReports mostly used in desktop applications or with one the Pentaho products?
