Hi,

Years argo, we have used Crystal Reports for Visual Basic.

Now, the Jasper Reports and IText designer doesn't seems to be that classic like Crystal Reports

Can someone suggest a classical reporting tool i.e far easy for the user with huge features to quickly develop and use it in web application developed using java?

If nothing is available, is this is because due to Java language?

Thanks,

Jasper is pretty much the standard open source solution for reporting. The designer used to be called iReport or something like that.

Yes, it is iReport. But looks for more advanced reporting than iReport. Any commercial which works greater than iReport?

I think that there's a custom report designer/writer in the Pentaho suite from Hitachi. It's a lot like Crystal Reports to me, and since it uses XML as its report templating language, I can even do batch edits on it.

However, the real question is "what do you mean by 'greater'?" What do you need that you're not getting from the products that you've worked with so far?

I also come across Pentaho from someone else. I went through - https://community.hitachivantara.com/s/article/pentaho-reporting

#1 Looks Open Source
#2 Looks better than Jasper/Itext

Please let me know your feedback ...

I just came across this article which compares some open source and commercial options: https://www.baeldung.com/java-reporting-tools-comparison
