What kind of documentation are you looking for that is not available on the JasperReports Documentation page?

[Jonathan Huang]

There is very limited documentation. You have to buy their expert guides to get everything you need.

[Jigar Naik]

well. i have got two option for generating report in web application.

1) BIRT.
2) JasperReport.

and i'm able to generate reports using both the tools but not able to deploy in web application as i'm not having any tutor on it.

for jasper report deployment i have written servlet... which invoke heavy weight JasperViewer...which take countable seconds to run my reports. and when i close i close the jasper viewer. it shutdown the JBoss Server.

if anybody can help me with birt report deployment, i will be thankful...

Hi,

To view the jasper report in web, you don't need any JasperViewer Object. Take the report data from the JasperPrint object and send the buffer to the browser and it will give the exact view of the jasper report. If you want the full description then reply this post. I will give you example code.
