Mentor Meeting # 4

DATE: 02.21.2007
TIME: 10:00AM @ TIETRONIX INC.
(DURATION: 45 minutes)

 

 

1. Prepared a Simple Mock User Interface for better understanding and presented it to the Mentors.
2. Created a sample application, integrating a jsp page with JasperReports, which would take as input a jasper understood .jrxml file (generated by IReport, as of now), generate a graphical report and output that report to the browser as a .pdf file.
3. Suggestions  and Comments from the Mentors :
a.) The user can’t be given the option to choose between jasper Reports and BIRT.  He is just presented with the available sample charts from Jasper or BIRT at a time.
b.) The Administrator decides whether to pull out and display charts from Jasper or BIRT before presenting them to the user.(from Database)
c.) Use preferably a browser to display the final chart.
d.) PDF option of viewing charts can be included later.

4. Things to be done over the week:
i.) Design the Use cases, Class diagram, Sequence Diagram to show how the classes are working.
ii.) Work on a mock-up GUI, detailed design of XML, generation of input report definition files for JasperReports and BIRT.
