Mentor Meeting # 6

DATE: 03.07.2007
TIME: 11:00AM @ TIETRONIX INC.
(DURATION: 25 minutes)

 

The progress was demonstrated to the mentors. The following suggestions were made by them,

  1. 1. The user must be given the chance to save the .jrxml and .rpt files for the graphical reports and should be able to execute them later, just like with tabular reports.
  2. 2. Proper Exception handling needs to be implemented.
  3. 3. User should be able to generate multiple charts with same report definition.
  4. 4. Create a documentation mapping for the parameter tags in the xml with the parameters in Jasper and BIRT for better understanding and ease.
  5. 5. Considerable progress achieved with JasperReports.

Presently the team is having problems understanding and implementing BIRT. After a considerable amount of research, it looks like BIRT is very tightly integrated with the Eclipse IDE. Also we could not encounter any implementations of BIRT without Eclipse during the research.
