I haven't used Jasper exactly, but you can pretty easily use the PHPJavaBridge <http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/> to integrate and call it's methods. Here are some examples I found: https://github.com/tsuyu/jasper-report-php-integration
http://community.jaspersoft.com/questions/522176/php-java-bridge-and-jasperreports-howto Research the PHPJavaBridge more and you will find your answer. Oh, yes - for the CakePHP part: Reporting logic looks and sounds like model logic to me. :)) So you can put it in the Model Layer. How exactly is up to you and depends on the architecture and entity relationships in your application. You can have table-less models for this or just different methods in different models where you need this. It could also be a "vendor library" since calling Jasper reporting isn't really a "get that data and manipulate it"-only operation. Where you put it and how you use it really depends on your needs and preferences. Cheers, Borislav.
