I have to concur that the reporting feature feels "core" to me for business users. BIRT seems to be the most widely accepted standard since Jasper has gone "freemium" and BI seems like a huge selling point for us if we get it right.
I do have issues with the way BIRT is integrated (which I can elaborate separately). In some cases I run the stand-alone BIRT servlet directly. I don't know whether this makes a case for pulling BIRT out or keeping it in. I suppose what I'm saying is that reporting really needs to be present "out of the box" for us to make a compelling business case for the system. ----- "Hans Bakker" wrote: > Jacopo, > As was discussed often before, we at least now have a standard reporting > system included in the system which was moved from the framework without > my agreement.
