Hello;

What do you mean it wouldn't stop reading your EOs? You dont want to pass your entire EO to it. Just pass the entities you want to generate the report for. Use a fetch specification to limit the results and then pass the fetched results.

I have a selection criteria page with a Display group. I have hooked some ToManyRelationship and ToOneRelationship controls to the queryMatch collection of the DisplayGroup. The fetch is created for me by the DisplayGroup. Then I have a Submit button that fires an action and renders the report:

qualdatesDisplayGroup.qualifyDataSource(); //applies the users selected filter RMDocument template = new RMWODocument("qualifications10"); // loads the RM template RMDocument report = template.generateReport(qualdatesDisplayGroup.allObjects()); RMPDFPage page = (RMPDFPage)pageWithName("RMPDFPage"); //generates the report as pdf page.document = report; //assigns the document object to the content of the report
                return page;  //returns the page

WALA all done. This is the only code on the search criteria page. As long as you use the WODisplayGroup, it does all the work for you.

Just starting.

I downloaded, read their instructions, etc. First off, it wouldn't stop reading my EOs. as it was assessing them. So then I figured a dictionary of keys, which I already have would be good. Created an XML file from that. It looked reasonable, but then it doesn't show anything in the designer. I sent them a support ticket and my xml so we will see.

Though... it does look pretty darn great from just scratching the surface.

Hello James;

There is already an interface to reportMill for WebObjects. ReportMill made it, you can download it from their website. Are you just trying to run some reports or are you trying to encapsulate their visual designer IDE?

Hello -

I wish to make a reporting interface to ReportMill. However, I want reportmill just to see the attributes that I want exposed.
Some of my EOs have a lot of methods, attributes,etc.

What is the simplest way to pass this information to ReportMill?

I already have made dictionaries of keys for my entities for another reporting method, but I think ReportMill wants something more.

Thanks
