we've just released the 1.1 version of xReporter, our open source Avalon/Cocoon-based database reporting framework, available from http://xreporter.cocoondev.org/
xReporter consists of 2 main components:
* an Avalon Phoenix-based query server, which is configured through XML-based report definitions, and is accessible across an XML/HTTP interface * a Cocoon front-end generating configurable HTML, PDF, Excel and CSV renditions of your database reports, thanks to the wonders of FOP, POI and some Cocoon drudgery
New things in this release:
- a new skinning system to make it easy to implement your own look & feel without extensive XSLT coding - support for grouping in report definition and visualisation - a simplified and configurable build system - various other little fixes and patches
xReporter is released under an Apache-style license, and we welcome
contributions and patches. There's a live demo available on the project website, too.
Have fun,
