Reporting Engines

[pchen]

Okay!!! We're NOT going to use neither Crystal Reports, JReport NOR eReport. We cannot afford the pricing for the Enterprise level stuff they have. Any suggestions and reputation knowledge on the following products?

Jasper
Windward
Quadbase ExpressReport

We're looking for any positive and negative comments.

We really appreciate it.

Me too, I am evaluating the reporting engine for our J2EE project too. I am studying the information for the following engines now:

Jasper Report
Ming-WebReport (http://www.soft2web.com)

Any comment?

Jasper is the good choice, iReport 0.4.0 designer tool is the very nice tool for creating jasper reports.

iReport 0.4.1 it better :-)
Now it's available a manual (not free, 180 pages) that explanis very well how to use JasperReports with iReport with many tips and triks.
