Our requirements are to generate reports that are viewable on screen,
printable, and can be saved. We briefly considered XML/XSLT, but it
appeared we would have to break up the output into many documents to
avoid unmanageably large files (if I understand the the spec
correctly), which would be cumbersome for the user to print. A single
PDF is preferable to our client. Also, the report needs to be viewable
on a variety of platforms and we wanted to avoid dealing with the
differences in web browsers. Maybe we dismissed the idea too quickly.
XML/XSLT -> PDF
that's exactlly what FOP (XSL-FO) does
http://xml.apache.org/fop/
.. but no GUI to draw the report...
there is also Datavision
http://datavision.sourceforge.net/
(HTML, XML, PDF, comma-separated, tab-separated, DocBook, LaTeX)
which has a GUI to design the report and supports various scripting
languages (Ruby as default).
