We've just this week got Jasperreports and Cayenne working together
in a really interesting way. We keep the Jasper XML files in the
database and use Cayenne to fetch them, compile them on the fly and
then invoke Jasper. By then using the $F{} notation and a special
expression "subreport.invoiceline" the report can fetch further
reports from the database as a subreport. We do a similar thing to
fetch images from the database with an "image.logo" type expression.
The end result is that all the customisable reports and images can be
managed in the database and edited by the user whenever they want.
Pretty simple, but it works well.
