Java Forum / General / January 2007Java reporting tool with dynamic columns?
I am looking for a reporting tool for Java that allows me to control from my Java application which columns should be shown in each table. I have looked at a some tools (JasperReports, JFreeReport and ReportMill). They all require a XML-template which defines which columns should be shown in each table. They do have crosstabs, which could be abused to let the Java application control the columns, but I guess that would only work for columns with numbers and not for strings. So can you recommend a report package that is not template based ? I would prefer if it could generate both PDF and Excel, but PDF alone is also interesting. Best regards Niels Dybdahl Hi, what you are describing is exactly (one of) the reason why I do not like JasperReports - it is not 'dynamic' enough. I like iText very much (on which JasperReport is based), because you can *program* a report instead of defining a (always somehow 'statical') report-template.

Thanks Ingo, I have looked at iText and it seems to be what I need for PDF. Best regards Niels Hi Niels IntelliVIEW SDK may be what you're looking for, have a look at http://www.synaptris.com/products/reporting-analytics/intelliview-sdk/index.html for more info. it allows you to control which columns are displayed, moreover it can export to both Excel and PDF.

The programmer who was in charge of that part had never used iText before, and had what we needed up in about two days. When management asked for changes in the layout, different headers, footers, columns or whatever, he adjusted in minutes to an hour of effort each time. - Lew Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
