Re: [Springframework-developer] Jasper Reports Support

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

That's a good suggestion. I was thinking of something along the lines of 
the Velocity support in Spring with some helper classes for general use 
and then view support in the MVC stuff. I'll see what I can do on this 
front, although Jasper is already pretty easy to use - everything is 
generally accessible using statics on one of the facade classes.
