1. About this project ?
This is an opensource library for table reports writen in java.
Its main target is data-oriented reports, meaning that
a lot of time was spent for data-oriented features like Cross Tab reports, aggregation) and not on graphical features
2. Advantages of using this report
- Easy to use and understand - you only need 5 minutes to understand and make a simple report
- Reliable design - obtained by segregation of the the main layers : Input - Algorithm - Output
- Superior speed - compared with orther products of this kind, ReportEngine relies on very fast algorithms
- No precompilation - you don't have to lose your precious time precompiling.
The engine only needs
a basic configuration which can be done via its setter methods.
- Data oriented tabelar reports - very well suited for accouting, statistical applications
and generally
for applications where data is more important than graphics
3.Disadvantages of using this report
- No graphic support - at least for the moment this API doesn't provide any support for graphics
- No direct printing support
- you have to use your browser or Ms Excel in order to print the documents.
This is going to be fixed in a future release
