Dear OO Dev Team, My name is Lukasz Bartnik, I'm a student at Warsaw University of Technology. I'm need to create pdf documents containing data fetched from a database. The query which returns the data has its parameters and everything should be performed in a batch mode. My task is to provide a web page where a user can choose the document to print (by clicking on its title/id). Then the page is reloaded and a link to pdf is returned as a result (or the pdf itself). That's why I'd like to ask You a question: is it possible with OO Base to create a report by running the program from the command line and providing mentioned parameters? Previously I've used fop (from Apache Foundation) but it isn't the right solution. The program itself has some drawbacks (it's a bit slow) and dealing with all those xml can be frustrating.
To my disappointment, I wasn't able to find any tutorial on this subject. I'm using OO 2.0.1 on Debian and MySQL 5 (or PostgreSQL). My ReportWizard won't work because of some Java problems (as far as I'm concerned it's an open bug) so I have to do everything manually. I would be very grateful for providing me web addresses with this kind of reporting explained. Yours faithfully, Lukasz Bartnik -- Łukasz Bartnik * If you think you can, you can.
