rather than clutter the talk list, i thought i'd ask ya'll if any of you have worked with any J2EE compliant reporting solutions. i've managed to get myself stuck reviewing software for our division, and all the ones i've managed to find are pretty much 'the suck'.
the most important features (besides being J2EE) is the ability to deal with oracle CLOBS, BLOBS, VARRAYS and OBJECTS. now here's a quick rundown of what solutions i've looked at : * JReport : expensive, good ide, medium support. not terrible. * Crystal 9 : uber-expensive, overloaded, does export to a lot of stuff. not terrible. * JFree : open-source, not gonna touch it. * Formula One e.Report : this seems to be best of breed from what i've reviewed. * Parallel Crystal : i can't even tell what this one actually does. seems like a pirate (arr) redistro of crystal 7. * Oracle9i Reports : mega-expensive, will handle all or datatypes obviously, but requires upgrading all oracle servers. so, if anyone has any better suggestions, or can tell me i'm just a doink and that one of the listed is good, please, comment. thanks, --d. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Host with the leader in ColdFusion hosting.
