Joe,

I've been planning on using the displaytag library for that stuff when I get
to it next week.  Why won't the decorator classes work for you to perform
summations of rows, groups, and so forth?  I'm wondering why it won't work
for you in case the same reasons might apply to my application....

For reference, an example of the decorators for summations of groups and
rows is here:
http://edhill.its.uiowa.edu/display-examples/example-callbacks.jsp

With their Java decorator class code example code here:

Regards,
David

Subject: [OT] Lightweight helper libraries for reporting?


Does anyone know of any good libraries for collecting report data?

To be clear -- I'm not interested in a full-scale reporting library
like JasperReports.  I've looked at it, and while it looks cool, I
have some specific requirements it doesn't serve.  I've also looked
at the Display tag library, and while it has its good and bad opints,
it's basically not what I need.

What I'm looking for is something into which I can throw a bunch of
beans of a common type and then ask it to do things like grouping,
group totals, grand totals, and the like.  Basically, the model of a
report data set, independent of how it is populated or how it would
be displayed.

Have you seen my library?

Thanks in advance,
        Joe
