[appengine-java] Re: JasperReports on GAE
JasperReports uses AWT classes to determine pixel perfect positioning of visual elements, which is core to a lot of functionality. It would be a lot work to change this. JR uses iText only for PDF generation. I think a broader question is why does GAE not support Java standards.

We are considering porting our application to GAE, but one of the core features of this application is reporting implemented with aid ofJasperReports. From what I understand, JasperReporst depend on iText, which is not GAE- compatible. Also, some posts:http://www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/feed-viewer/view.html andhttp://www.jscriptive.org/2009/08/jasperreports-and-google-appengine claim thatJasperReportsalso directly use awt libraries, not available on GAE. It's crucial for us to have our reports working. So does anybody managed to useJasperReportson GAE and can give a hint how to do it? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine for Java group.

Do you know if JasperReports developers are aware of this problem? Is there any bug reported to them? I haven't found any on myself. Logically, JasperReports (nor iText) shouldn't depend on AWT classes, so this dependency is a bit strange, and perhaps can be fixed by them.

Sure would be nice if appengine would decide to support awt - it would solve this problem and many others. (Vote for it here http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1423). However, my impression is that they have no intention to do so any time soon - it must cause some significant problems for their infrastructure. Someone apparently got iText to run in app-engine http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-java/msg/419faf63fff47ef7 and there was an issue posted to itext on sourceforge, but I can't seem to access the itext project there anymore - perhaps they moved? https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2810312group_id=152 On Sep 4, 1:33 am, Grzegorz Borkowski grzegorz...@gmail.com wrote: Do you know if JasperReports developers are aware of this problem?
