Hi All,

I currently need to add a functionality in my web apps wherein I need to generate some sort of report. The company already had a template of report forms, all I need is
to fill it up with data that comes from user input or database.

They just need to click some sort of Generate Report in the JSP and it should come up with the template report where the entries are already filled up.

I am not sure whats the best library to use. I had use Crystal Reports in the past but I used Microsoft Product then.
This is the first time I will do such functionality in Java.

Can you advise me which library can I use to suit my need?

I'd start by looking into JasperReports; the OtherOpenSourceProjectsFaq points to some introductory material about it.
