The Formula One e.Report Engine is a flexible, 100% Pure Java tool for building reports against a variety of data sources including in-memory Java objects, JDBC databases, Enterprise JavaBeans, and text files.

Reports can be formatted in a robust visual development environment with easy-to-use wizards or you can create and manipulate reports with Java code through the e.Report Engine's highly accessible API.

Finished reports are easily packaged with your Java Server Pages, servlets, or Java applications and leverage your existing application or portal server infrastructure without requiring you to set up or maintain an additional report server.

Benefits and Uses

Increase Developer Productivity
