Looks really nice.

Some time ago, I did some work with Jfreechart that allowed for the
dynamic creation of all kinds of "boss-friendly" charts/graphs that were
inserted into an Ofbiz/Freemarker page as src images when the page was
initially created. I'm not sure how hard it would be to add Jfreechart
capabilities to BIRT.

On a similar topic - are there any words of wisdom concerning using
Apache FOP for creating dynamic PDFs from my OFbiz web pages? I'd like
to put a button on my catalog pages that when pressed, automatically
creates a PDF of the currently viewed catalog.

TIA
Ruth
