Well, this is a very special
customer, so indeed I have many more problems at hand. But finally everything works as expected by the customer. With the use of printer-specific CSS and some object-orientation pyrotechnics, I can produce quite acceptable printer output. Thank you all. Next time I'll use datavision. Ed. [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: hmm an underpowered pc, well that's an unfortunate new variable to add to the discussion. If it's really an underpowered server then you have more problems on your hand then just getting something like tomcat running. I've run web servers on underpowered machines in the past and its no fun so I feel for you. As for getting this thread onto one of the wiki's, that's an interesting thought. I'll have to think about how it could be done so that someone could get some use out of it outside of the context of all the threads. I wish you luck. Let us know how you finally do solve the issue Jose-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Webware-discuss] Printing from web application From: Eduardo Elgueta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, September 27, 2005 3:07 pm To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: webware-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net José, I'm still working on this, but I don't think I can install tomcat in this old underpowered customer's PC. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the tip. I think it'll be useful not only for me, but for anyone doing reporting in web apps. BTW, I think it could be useful to copy this thread to the Wiki or other more persistant organized place. Any ideas? Ed. [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: Well after reading the many threads on this topic I am going to have to take a look at reportlab. But after playing around a bit with datavision, for most database reports it is going to be my application of choice. It has a very nice drag and drop report generator, and I can serve the reports to my clients as either html or pdf with minimal coding. the only drawback is that it is a java app and does not integrate with webware, so I am running if off my tomcat server, but with jython and a little hacking you can write java servlets in a pretty pythonic way so I'm happy. I am currently working migrating an access report (I can hear the groans already) over to datavision so that i can deliver it as pdf's to my clients. If you've not solved this problem to your satisfaction i would urge you to give datavision a try. I can share my servlets with you if it would help get you started, but the jsp and the servlet examples are pretty straight forward and is what I used to write my test code.

If what you want is a Crystal Reports like product why not use datavision (http://sourceforge.net/projects/datavision) its free and works ok. Jose -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Webware-discuss] Printing from web application From: Eduardo Elgueta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, September 20, 2005 12:07 pm To: webware-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net Hi All, I have a small webware application in which I need to produce reports to be printed. Right now, html reports produce poor results (pagination is not constant). I bigger companies, we use Crystal Reports, but this is a small non-for-profit organization, so we can't afford commercial software. What are you guys using? I was checking out reportlab, but it seems a lot of work, and I couldn't find tables support.
