Description

Seam Reports abstracts the usage of commonly used reporting engine frameworks. It acts as a bridge between CDI and any supported engine framework.

The supported engines so far are:

• JasperReports
• Pentaho Reporting
• XDocReport (Check it out on http://code.google.com/p/xdocreport/)

Seam Reports is independent of CDI implementation and fully portable between Java EE 6 and Servlet environments enhanced with CDI. It can be also used with CDI in J2SE (desktop application).
