Jasper Reports

JasperReports is an open source Java reporting tool that can write to a variety of targets, such as: screen, a printer, into PDF,HTML, Microsoft Excel, RTF, ODT, Comma-separated values or XML files.

It can be used in Java-enabled applications, including Java EE or web applications, to generate dynamic content. It reads its instructions from an XML or .jasper file.

JasperReports is part of the Lisog open source stack initiative.

Jasper Reports is quite handy , in huge projects which could summarize the whole project in form of few reports .

I have recently developed a great interest for jasper reports and , stay tuned to the blog and I would post some great tricks and solutions to the common problems.
