java based pdf and excel generation

Thread view:

I am working on a browser based reporting tool and would like to give
the client the option to save the reports in excel and pdf forms.

The reporting tool is a part of a WebLogic (Java) based application.
Ideally I would like to use a Java package that can generate both pdf
and excel documents. I have come across some tools such as iText (for
pdf) and Java Excel API (for excel).

Is there any library which could do both. i.e. a single library which
can generate both pdf and excel documents?

Thanks

I believe reporting packages such as JReports can do this.
