True, Jfreechart only can produce images.. So it depends on your use case.

 I thought it also brought the capability to generate pdf and word
 docs, which I don't think JFreeChart can do..

I had used JasperReports in de near past and was very happy with it.
The fact that you want to use it with Wicket doesn't actually matter. Just
generate a PDF/Excel with jasper and make it avilable with a
DynamicWebResource.

A sample of a DynamicWebResource can you find at
http://www.jointeffort.nl/content/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=54:streaming-pdfcatid=38:wicketItemid=56

I have used it in combination with BIRT. But, there was nothing special on
the Wicket side, except for:
1-some logic that would read REPORT parameters and dynamically build a form
allowing to fill in those.
2-extended BIRT with some classes, implementing some BIRT interfaces, that
would stream back images
when rendering HTML reports.

Re: Reporting Framework Wicket

2009-10-15 Thread Ernesto Reinaldo Barreiro
Just one caveat about the article: as far as I remember creating a platform
and report engine were costly operations. I do not have the code at hand but
I remember we created some kind of singleton that was used to launch the
reports. Additionally we added some logic that would:
1-scan report for parameters and generate an UI based on that. 2-replace
design data-sources for production data-sources.
3-For images and other resources there was some interface you could
implement so that reports could be able to call-back to the server and get
them served. We rolled out our own implementation and plugged it into BIRTs
machinery.

Hello,

We use Wicket with NextReports (http://www.next-reports.com/) and Jasper. 
Basically, in Wicket you will have logic for the form that will fill report
parameters. For Jasper we
also have a logic for edit parameters (we added more functionality to
parameter definition that we could not find in any jasper designer tool).

Depending on how parameters are defined (in your report designer tool) you
may have to add the following business  :
- chained parameters (to fill children parameters if parent parameters are

- hidden parameters (parameters which are substituted with their values when
the report is ran by human process or by scheduler process)

After the parameter values selection process , you will just have to use the
api offered by your reporting framework. 

For example in Next it is simple as this :
 
  FluentReportRunner.report(report)
  .connectTo(connection)
  .withQueryTimeout(60)
  .withParameterValues(createParameterValues())
  .formatAs(ReportRunner.HTML_FORMAT)
  .run(stream);

I've been using jasper reports, in conjunction with ireport
http://jasperforge.org/plugins/mwiki/index.php/Ireport/Product_Tour . Giving
a powerful combo, you can give the possibility to let your users design
their own reports. Almost in line with some of the software from SAS
Institute (though it depends on your backing service). For simpler stuff I
just use jfreechart. Like here
http://exerciselog.eu/products/cache/true/locale/en/ it's really simple and
have a lot of different charts.
