JasperReports is built right into coldfusion.
You can create a jasperreport JRXML file using iReport, and use
createObject to run the report, etc.
I don't do it any more because report generation takes such a toll on
the server, and it's just waaaaaay better to have report stuff running
on a separate server, pulling from a replication database. So now I
use JasperServer, and it's KICK ASS!
For anyone doing a lot of reporting, I'd recommend it. Simply the best!
But if you're "stuck" with pure CF, and need to do those common
reporting things that are just impossible with reportbuilder, then
createObject and jasperrepoerts might be the way to go, because you
can build the reports with iReport, which is a STELLAR report-builder
(cross platform y todo).
