Sorry, I don't want to make this sound like a total plug (I'm a techie, not a sales guy) but you may want to consider looking into WebIntelligence 2.6 which is the Thin client server for BusinessObjects. (You can see from my mail address I actually work for this company...) WebIntelligence 2.6 allows the handling of both full and thin client documents. BusinessObjects and WebIntelligence can handle multiple datasources and have a single integrated security hierarchy. It allows to build reports through a graphical user interface and all of this is customisable! With the WebIntelligence 2.6 release the entire Object Model (which can be used for the display, the refresh, saving, generating and scheduling (for off-peak refresh) of reports) is exposed as JavaBeans, which are used in the same manner as your own JavaBeans. It also allows you to run the JavaBeans from the webserver, while connecting (through CORBA) to the WebIntelligence Server. This means that it is also eminently scalable as the clustering of both is possible, and the JavaBeans and your JSP code is easily portable. It is currently released for Windows and Solaris, and I believe AIX and HP-Unix versions are in the make... For further information see the company website: http://www.businessobjects.com and if you want I can put you in contact with someone. Cheers Jay (Oh, and I am not in the habit of posting such plugs to public mailing lists, but in this case could not help raising some awareness of this product suite) -----Original Message----- From: Geeta Kottapalli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 24, 2000 8:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Need help in deciding report generation tool !! Need help in deciding the tool for report generation. I can use either of 'Oracle Reports' or 'Crystal Reports' and I have no clue on how to use Crystal Reports as web pages and I am not sure if I can use Oracle Reports with JWS I did not use any tools in my previous web application and used only HTML for report generation. I am using JWS2.0 on Windows NT. The report now I am trying to generate is complicated and can be 50 - 60 pages and I have to use page-breaks which is not possible in HTML(though I can use page-break in CSS,NN is not supporting). I am really looking for help from someone who used Crystal Reports or Oracle Reports with Java. Thanks in advance, Geeta __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!
