    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.

    Cheers
