Reporting Tool

Hi,

            I want to generate some reports in my application.
            I am currently using Struts as a framework.

            The current architecture for generating reports uses Crystal
Report 9.0
            The problem faced with this are

       1. The data in the crystal report can be read only from a data
          source i.e. tables. Therefore there is a need to create some
          table for reports.
       2. The reports needs to be presented in such a manner that the
          rows needs to be converted into columns. (Transpose) The
          transpose logic makes the reports response time very slow.
       3. There is a need to make a call to IIS.

        Can somebody suggest a reporting tool which has got the features
like Crystal Report (Export, Print, Group, Page Header, Page Break) but
can also use the data of the java classes for generating reports.

            I have heard of Datavision, JFreeReport tools but not sure
whether they can take data from java classes to generate reports and
have the same features..
            Taking data from java classes is important as it will be
easy to put the transpose logic in the java code and will in the end
improve the response time of reports.

Thanks,
Shailender Jain

There's a (commercial) J2EE reporting solution from Panscopic 
(http://www.panscopic.com) which does take data from Java classes.
