What methods does JReport provide for report publishing and distribution?
JReport supports the following report output formats: DHTML, HTML, email, PDF, XML, Excel (with live chart objects and formulas), RTF, CSV, secure FTP, and direct to fax. In addition to scheduling reports for distribution, as discussed above, JReport enables users to interact with their reports and to save and share those modified reports. With DHTML reports, for example, users can dynamically sort, filter, and group data to create a unique report view. This view can be saved as a report result and shared with others so the result data can be viewed and interacted with at any time, by any authorized user. Alternately, the modified view can be saved as a template so that it can be re-run at any time in order to refresh the report view with up-to-the-minute data.
