Yip its a very cool demo but if you want somethign better let me know i have some code.
Also have a look at BIRT. ( Eclipse project)

Hi

Yes have a look at BIRT, its really cool and has a full plugin for Eclipse to to report development, it uses Jasper Reports in the background but they seem to have implemented it really well.

What do you want to do exactly? online reports? generate PDF's?

Rich

Hi

I ahev worked with Jasper Reports for a long while now and in my opinion its a bit tedious to say the least! :-)
Anyways i have moved over to BIRT ( an eclipse project ) it uses Jasper Reports in the back but they seem to have taken the complexity and tediousness out :-)

Well to your solution, what i did is this:
JRCsvExporter exporter = new JRCsvExporter(); exporter.setParameter(JRCsvExporterParameter.FIELD_DELIMITER, ";"); ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, jasperPrint); exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.OUTPUT_STREAM, baos); exporter.exportReport(); output = baos.toByteArray(); response.setContentType("text/plain"); response.setContentLength(output.length); ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream(); ouputStream.write(output); ouputStream.flush(); ouputStream.close();

basically just writing to the servletoutput stream which prompts the user to download a file, it works well, let me know ho wyou get on

you need the tomcat 5.5 compatability pack go to: Tomcat 5.5 Compat
it will allow you to run jdk 1.4 stuff on tomcat 5.5, just get the zip and read the installation notes and everything inside

I use the console and ctrl-c, mainly ctrl-c on my local machine's weblogic ( it hasn't corrupted it yet :-) ) But the console is definitly the safest option.

Well that output looks good! :-) Send me your code and jsp's amd stuff and i will have a look ate it! :-) richardw@discovery.co.za

Have you checked out your web.xml file in your web-inf? It should have something looking like this in it: <servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>application</param-name> <param-value>ApplicationResources</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>2</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>detail</param-name> <param-value>2</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>validate</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
You see in the web xml you are telling the web server that all url patterns ending with .do must be routed through the Struts Action.
Hope this helps
