[Springframework-developer] Jasper Reports Support

[Rob H. <ro...@ca...>]

All,

I am looking at adding view support for Jasper Reports to Spring MVC and 
want to get some input before I dive in.

My first question is what approach would everyone prefer.

I could go for a document style approach like PDF and Excel providing 
hooks for you to expose properties and a JRDatasource, or I could create 
a subclass of AbstractUrlBasedView and then auto expose all properties 
in the model to Jasper Reports, grabbing  the datasource from there by 
type. My preference is for the second approach since it requires less 
coding from the end user.

What does everyone think?
