Re: [Springframework-developer] Jasper Reports Support

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

I have the basics of Jasper Reports support done for the MVC view. I 
haven't yet looked in much detail at a helper library for the ui package 
but I have identified some methods that need to be in there.

If everyone is happy I will add jasperreports JAR to CVS and commit what 
I have in sandbox for everyone to try out. Not much in the way of unit 
tests yet, but I have a small sample application running locally that 
generates reports in PDF, HTML, Excel and CSV - which is nice.

The web package builds on those for web-specific themes and Velocity/FreeMarker views. Similar support classes like for Jasper reports could go into the "ui" package too, I guess.
