Reports! Reports!

Hi,
This is my yearly request for a component to do reports. There are now very few options available for doing quality report (free or otherwise).

See you again next year. ;-)

We haven't looked into report area. My feeling is there are quite a number of companies who are already doing that. Is that really as you said "very few options available for doing quality report"? Let's talk about it.

Thanks,

The last company I was at needed to do some Compliance reports for their application. They tried JReports, home grown reports and finally Crystal Reports and they all had problem. I bought a product from KLG (part of Quest now) call PageLayout that was close to what I want. Of course it meshed with their graphing stuff. Since they were bought by Quest it looks like work has stopped on any new development and the cost went through the roof. Anyway, I don't know if you could make money with a graphing product but I would buy it.

Thanks

We're using JasperReports with some standard reports we designed, but the users can tweak then a little (what data is shown, custom header + footers, etc).

For a visual report designer, you can look at iReports or Jasper Assistant. I do not know if these can be embedded in your own application though.
