Hi. 1. I don't fully understand what do you mean by 'dynamically update data on the report', but i'll try to answer anyway. Report data does not need to come from a database. For example it can be a collection of Java Beans, or anything that implements a JRDataSource interface. Take a look here: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/api/net/sf/jasperreports/engine/JRDataSource.html Once you have the data inside the report, you can do all sorts of things with it. Most often you'll use the 'variables' functionality to calculate sums, percentages and other stuff like that, and then do some formatting to produce appropriate strings for the values that you want to show.
2. Yes, easily. On Nov 22, 2007 12:01 PM, agent_dark64 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > HI, > > Our company is thinking of using JasperReports for PDF report generation.
