For simple table or form based reports I'd suggest to use the pdf generation
features of form widgets.
I'll have to simply implement a standard widget screen and form definition,
the only trick is that the screen must extend the FoDecorator screen: you
can find some examples of this pattern if you search for
"ApprovedProductRequirementsReport" in the order component.

Have you been able to run the reports that are commented out by default
in order/webapp/ordermgr/WEB-INF/controller.xml  ?

Hi Chris,
        I have tried to run those reports that are there under order
application, but I got the errors regarding the design of the report.
        The same types of reports which uses JasperReports I found under the
CRMSFA application. I was able to run those reports.
        But I an not been able to understand how these JasperReport is
integrated in OfBiz. If you can give me sugessions about these, that would
be a great help for me.

Regards,
-Ajay

Hi Ajay,

I'm sorry but since then I've no more used JasperReport/iReport, so I
cannot be of great help; hopefully others will help you with some hints.
As I've already told you, my suggestion would be that of using the
PDF/XML features of form widgets for simple reports and plain fo.ftl
templates for more complex ones.
