My thanks to everyone who provided me with suggestions and links to products they had tried. I figured someone in the user community had probably already tackled this problem, and could provide recommendations/advice.
Thanks again to everyone who responded!!!

I also believe that JasperReports generates a class that needs to be loaded for every report, which seems a little cumbersome in a JSP environment. > > For PDF generation: > > iText > http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ > > Big Faceless Report Generator > http://big.faceless.org/index.jsp > > > Any comments on experience with these products would be appreciated. > > Steve > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Haseltine, Celeste [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 3:14 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > 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.
