DynamicReports for JasperReports

People who are working in a fast-paced environment and make constant use of different custom reports might need a way to automate or improve their report generating process. DynamicReports for JasperReports is a Java library based on JasperReports, which will help users create the preferred reports for their specific tasks, without using a visual designer component.

Having as its main prerequisite Java, the library is deployed as a series of JAR files into an accessible archive, where novice users will also find several example files to help them better understand its handling.

DynamicReports for JasperReports will provide users with the means to create dynamic reports without resorting to any design GUIs. By eliminating this element, one will be able to tot expedite the report creation process and achieve increased efficiency.

The generated reports will then be readily available for displaying, printing or exporting to numerous formats such as PDF, Excel, Word and others. To use the library, people will have to provide the corresponding code block and from it, the final reports will be generated, much faster than with traditional visual report designers.

Since it employs a dynamic report generation process, the library allows people to create ad-hoc reports, where the designs can be changed continuously, unlike with static reports. Design inheritance is also provided, meaning that the design of one report can easily be inherited from another one, which was impossible with static reports in visual designers.

Those who still prefer to use static reports can rest assured, as the library offers the option of embedding such reports into dynamic ones by using subreports.
