Yes, Si Chen is a smart guy plus his company is here in LA so I wanted to use him for an ofbiz website cleanup but the marketing guys went with another choice. I have tried to activate the jasperreports in ofbiz and work with a csv viewer but it's a pain. It works fine for a standalone plus it's got crosstab capabilities which I need. You have to use ireport as a front end as it helps a lot. Do you happen to know of a good shopping cart backend -- I am testing zencart right now the thing is we would like to use different templates for different categories or multiple front end stores and zencart is not quite a fit. Thanks, Michael

In the interview, Si Chen says we should tell him about reporting solutions. Here's one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperreports Key features (from the site): integrated reports designer, report designers available as Eclipse plugins, output into various formats (PDF, HTML, XML, XLS, TXT, CSV), stores report definitions as XML, can integrate virtually any data source and has built in interfaces to JDBC, POJOs, EJB, XML as data sources, the report generation library is embeddable and written in Java, allows scripting report definitions with Groovy, additionally to the built in expressions syntax, requires no dedicated reports server. Seems pretty much same-minded with ofbiz (XML, Java, various integrations). Sounds pretty nice and powerful to me, although I didn't try it out. br, -- Florin Jurcovici ------------------ Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
