Java with Report

[ychhuong]

I start learning Java Programming. I develop small java program that connect to database. Now I want to create a report for this application. for example, report of monthly stock out. I know we use Crystal Report in VB.NET. How about Java? Thanks.

There have many reports tool in java,for example,stylereprot,jreport.If you want to use a free and open source report tool,I think ireport is a good choice.

Is there any sample of using Crystal Report with Java? I have tried JasperReport, but when I run it i alway got error. Here is my code.

try{

JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport("HelloReportWorld.jrxml");
}
catch(JRException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

Error Message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/digester/Digester

JasperReport is a free and open source report tool based on java.but it's only a java API and hasn't GUI designer just like crystal report,moreover,the tutorial of jasperreport isn't free.
But there have so many free jasperreport tutorials,just like below link

If you need a free designer,download ireport.

As to the error,you only need copy all jar files under iib directory into classpath,the problem will be sovle.

There also have many good java reports tool,like jreport and stylereport
