Couple of months back i faced this kind of requirements for some reports, unfortunately our choice was ireport. After few findings I came to know that neither ireport nor jasper report supports cross tab directly but there are few way to do that, if you are a pain lover like me then probably you will choose one of those.
So far I found two ways to make a cross tab( alike jasper report no ide based on jasperrepor support this feature). first one is manipulating xml directly, velocity like template engine may be handy to accomplish this. Second way ( I used and think more convenient than first one) is to build the object representation of the xml file programaticaly. I haven't found API doc that much usefull but if you are familiar with the schema of the xml file that ireport generate/jasperreport use that will help you much, the object representation, even property/method name are same as the schema. lastly you will find a sample which use second way with jasper report distribution titled "noxmldesign". Hope this will help. On 11/7/05, Meenakshi Singh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi All, > I want to create cross tab reports with Jasper reports.
