Any chance to see the source code for that little app.  Seems kind of like what I am wanting to do.
 
Thanks
 
Jeff

Hi Jeff –

 

Here’s much more on the Flex_CF solution http://www.dcooper.org/blog/client/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=609B9952-DC57-D79E-83886B7D4E700834

 

Let us know if this helps to get you going in the right direction, Bill

Can you give us more insight into what kind of reporting you want to generate ?  Is it tabular reports, or more formatted reports (such as invoices) ?  A great deal of the work Adobe Consulting is doing right now, is leveraging Flex for the user-experience and data-capture, with Adobe Livecycle as a service-tier technology for the dynamic generation of PDF documents (note that Livecycle does a great deal more than just generation of these documents, through the various different Livecycle server technologies).  There is a very successful marriage between these 2 technologies since the Adobe / Macromedia combination.

 

Depending upon the use-case in your application, that might be an architecture you consider, and there's certainly a wealth of experience on this list that can give you insight into combining Flex and Livecycle together.

 

Other approaches we've seen taken, include generation of HTML reports using technologies such as JSP, if you are just looking for tabular reports to be generated.   And of course, you *can* print from a Flex application, but we have to be careful that "when all we have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail".

 

Maybe if we understood the print/document generation/workflow requirements you have, we could propose more specific approaches.

 

Best wishes,

 

Steven

Subject: [flexcoders] Reporting options

Hello,

 

    I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on how to do reporting in flex.  I am using Flex 1.5.  Couple of options I have thought of.

 

Just return the results in a grid, but I have read in the news group that there is a bug when you get around 800 rows in a grid and try to print.

 

Also read about ColdFusions report writer as another alternative.

 

I thought about maybe a thrid party tool that has a html front end and try to include that frontend wrapped inside my applicaiton.  Not sure if I can do that.

 

But has anyone had any good experiences with a reporting setup?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jeff Krueger
