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
