Package de.vc.report Description

This package contains a small framework for generating many reports on fly. It is based on report-template report-data pattern. That means you have a set of report data and each report data fills a template.

To create reports you will need several components:

• A report source that delivers report data. There are some implementation of report sources in sub-package "sources" for xml, csv, database and pure java.
• The report builder generates from one report data a report; this means it fills a report template with report data. This framework gives no rule what kind of template should be used and what kind of report is generated.
• Generated reports are stored in a report storage. A report storage can be a directory for example.
• Finally the driver manages creating reports.
