Oracle Reports Services: Integration with Oracle JDeveloper

Oracle9iAS Daily Feature - Oracle9iAS Reports Services: Integration with Oracle9i JDeveloper: "Reports Services: Integration with Oracle9i JDeveloper

Java developers may wish to leverage the powerful publishing capabilities of Oracle9i Reports within their Java applications. To facilitate this, Oracle9i Reports has been integrated within Oracle9i JDeveloper in several ways: "

Developers may create a new Reports JSP or Reports Pluggable Destination from within Oracle9i JDeveloper (they appear as objects in the object gallery and have a dialog to assist in their creation.)

Reports can be coded by hand, or the Reports9i development environment (the Reports builder) can be launched directly from within Oracle9i Jdeveloper. The report can then be declaratively created as before, then developers may exit straight back into JDeveloper, and automatically have the JSP they created brought with them.

Developers may run and debug Reports JSPs from within Oracle9i JDeveloper – setting breakpoints, etc. ReportsJSP custom tags appear within Oracle9i JDeveloper's JSP tag palette to facilitate easy report development/editing.
