[appengine-java] Re: JasperReports on GAE
I always considered AWT asa "widget tookit" (AFAIR it's what it stands for), so the library for creating windows, frames, panels, buttons, menus etc. That's why I thought it hadn't much to do with non-widget library which JasperReports is, and why I assumed it's not needed on GAE (as GAE is not targeted at running desktop applications). On the other hand, the base for reports and widgets is similar: graphics, pixels, colors etc - and it's also part of AWT. So probably it was a Sun's mistake to have them mixed into one library. However, we can't count for fixing it now, so now I see it is probably necessary to have some base AWT functionality accessible on GAE.

[appengine-java] Re: JasperReports on GAE
Do you know if JasperReports developers are aware of this problem? Is there any bug reported to them? I haven't found any on myself. Logically, JasperReports (nor iText) shouldn't depend on AWT classes, so this dependency is a bit strange, and perhaps can be fixed by them.

[appengine-java] JasperReports on GAE
Is it possible to use JasperReports on GAE? We are considering porting our application to GAE, but one of the core features of this application is reporting implemented with aid of JasperReports. From what I understand, JasperReporst depend on iText, which is not GAE- compatible. Also, some posts: http://www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/feed-viewer/view.html and http://www.jscriptive.org/2009/08/jasperreports-and-google-appengine.html claim that JasperReports also directly use awt libraries, not available on GAE. It's crucial for us to have our reports working. So does anybody managed to use JasperReports on GAE and can give a hint how to do it? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
