Re: [seam-dev] Re : Seam Reports

Hello, Sorry I'm not a Seam dev guy, but would like to know if there's a rationale for not including BIRT renderer in the roadmap ? One project in my company is using BIRT, but I've never seen a BIRT extension in Spring MVC or Seam frameworks, only JasperReports extensions. Also not sure how you'll be generating html output with an API (i.e. how / where  to generate images / css / js). Thanks ! ________________________________ De : George Gastaldi <gegastaldi(a)gmail.com&gt; À : Seam Dev List <seam-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Envoyé le : Mercredi 18 Mai 2011 0h34 Objet : [seam-dev] Seam Reports Hello All ! Seam Reports is a portable extension for Java EE that provides APIs for compiling, populating and rendering reports (Excel, PDF, etc) from existing report frameworks (JasperReports, etc). I invite anyone to try it and join it when possible. The module page for Seam Reports is online also: http://seamframework.org/Seam3/ReportsModule Now that you are familiar with the subject, I´ll share some thoughts below ! :D I have spoken with Jason Porter and Pete Royle about incorporating Seam Render capabilities on this module also. The idea is, since this module produces documents, it would be nice to extract the classes used for rendering content on Seam Mail, for example to this module. The inter-module dependencies should not be required at first glance (Maybe from API). It would be nice if this module provided an API for generating some content (let´s say, use Velocity to generate a XHTML and XHTMLRenderer - https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net - to generate a PDF for example) . So whenever you need to render a document, the answer is straight clear: use Seam Reports :) What do you guys think ?
