I do have the start of a reporting engine; However, I recently had a

JasperReports, and want to rework what I have to use their XML

a start.
I don't really know about JasperReports (I had a quick glance on
Wikipedia), but what about using a open standard like XSL-FO (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSL_Formatting_Objects )? I'm asking
this simply out of curiosity.
I think XSL-FO can be used to describe the result, rather than
describe how
to get to this result ?
Yes.
Although it's possible to get a report engine on top of it.
It would require a to use a XSLT to transform a xml data into a XSL-FO.
This would require some work:
- native XSLT processor like http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/
- native XSL-FO "renderer" like http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/
Anyone?
