RE: Java Based Web Reporting

What exactly would the RPG be doing?  Would you be going to the RPG for
business logic?

Pete,

By chance have you (or anyone else) tried to interface either iReport and/or
Jasper with RPG?  I have a WebFaced application that is in dire need of a
good ad hoc reporting tool (I already have the front-end for field
selection, sort / selection criteria, etc.) and this looks like it would be
more than great.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aaron,

We use Jasper reports which works very well and we use iReport as the
designer tool.  It is a great free, open source combination.  You'll find
iReport much easier to use than Query/400 and the formatting is much
superior to  Crystal Reports (IMHO).

iReports generates a compiled object that Jasper then uses to render the
report.

You'll find it here: http://ireport.sourceforge.net/

Also DataVision has some useful features and produces nicely formatted
reports.

All of these applications are Open Source.
