There is POI, which is a collection of Java classes that can be used to
create Excel or Word documents which could then be easily printed.

Check http://jakarta.apache.org/poi for details.

Subject: Report displaying and printing in JSP's


I'm interested in knowing what options other people have used successfully,
and not so successfully,  to generate and display report information and
format it for printer output in jsp/servlets.  Our product is a jsp/servlet
intranet application, and we would like to now add a report generation
feature for the management team.  There will be numerous types of reports,
and all will utilize production data contained in the database.  I've looked
into Crystal Reports, but it does have port conflict issues with our
application server JRUN 3.1.  I know that XML format is great for
displaying, but I understand that it has limitations when it comes to
formatting the report for various types of printer output.  Other than
looking into PDF format, does anyone else have any suggestions/options that
they would like to recommend?

My thanks in advance for any recommendations/advice.
