To All Readers:


I have seen an enormous amount of downloading
of the demo software, but have only heard
back from a few people.


Note that this soulution is non-trivial in
that:


a) You need to already have a J2EE app
server and the Cocoon platform up
and going.


b) The demo utilizes a relational database,
and to date I've only tested it against
MySql.


Thus, given these various needs and hooks,
it may take a little finess to get it
operational.


However, with that said, the advantage of this
solution is that it is easily mutable to
fit a wide variety of situations. As a matter
a fact, the who reason I created it was that
none of the off the shell solutions quite
fit in to what I was doing.


In summary, it seems like everyones needs of
a report system are slightly different, and
thus canned solutions often don't fit in.


This soultion can be easily molded.
