[huiyanx2]

Dear all,

Can Java create Report and perview it like MS word? I am using Jbuilder 7.0, are there any function can do so? Besides, do I need any external liberary? Can you recommend some site about that for me?

Really thank for your help.

I strongly recommend that you consider XML and XSLT for transforming data into different layouts.

An article on generating reports in Java using XML:

An excellent java-centric api for all things XML:
