I aM writing an app and part of it will be a basic report structure (with a
few charts). No point re-inventing the wheel.....so do any of you know any
report and chart modules which might help me out?

Thanks

Crystal Reports
<http://www.businessobjects.com/products/reporting/crystalreports/> is
probably the most popular and can be used stand-alone or with an API
for most languages. iReport
<http://www.jaspersoft.com/pr_ireport.html> is a capable open source
alternative. iReport can be used stand-alone and has a Java API.

For the reports:
iTextJ
JasperReports
FOP (XML->XSL:FO->PDF/PS)
I chose the latter and have had good experiences with it. I
needed an on-screen preview which I couldn't easily get with
the others, but have had a few problems with memory usage
and bidi.

For the graphs I recommend JFreeChart. Batik is very useful
for SVG export,

Richard
