API Integration

Similar to many existing solutions, reports are defined and then persisted to XML. Using a simple API the report definition XML can be processed to generate a business intelligence report in various formats (HTML, Excel).

The following code block demonstrates generating a basic HTML report with user input:

``` File inputFile = new File("PetLocationReport.rxml"); //xml definition of report File outputFile = new File("PetLocationReport.html"); //html output Maps params = new HashMap(); //user input parameters params.put("category","dog");

HTMLReportBuilder.build(inputFile,params,outputFile); ```

Servlet Integration

The project focuses primarily on the report engine API, however, we also provide a simple command line utility as well as a Servlet for generating reports within a web application. The Servlet is included in the report engine's jar, allowing you to easily add web-based reporting to you application with a single entry to its web.xml file.

For more details, see the Servlet Integration article.

NOTE: project is still in beta status... ideas and contributions are welcome.
