Building Reports with Java [closed]

Question

I am building a j2ee web application with a MySQL db. I need to whip up some reports, and slice and dice the data in various ways. Is it best to tackle each report requirement, write the code to serve up the data? Or, is there a framework I should look into?

Answer 1

Take a look at JasperReports (http://www.jasperforge.org). You can integrate it into your Java app or use it as a stand-alone reporting application along the same lines as Crystal Reports.
