Creating a report from the database

This lesson demonstrates how to create a new report off the Xtreme Sample Database that is included in this release. If you design a report off any other database, you will have to manually copy the database JARs to your web application’s ./WEB-INF/lib directory, e.g. for SQL Server, you would have to copy msbase.jar, mssqlserver.jar, and msutil.jar.

This lesson contains the following sections:

• Creating a basic report
• Adding parameters and filters to the report
