REPCOM: A Customisable Report Generator Component System Using XML-Driven, Component-Based Development Approach
Abstract
Abstract It is undeniable that report generation is one of the most important tasks in many companies regardless of the size of the company A good report generation mechanism can increase a company's productivity in terms of effort and time This is more obvious in some startup companies, which normally use some in - house report generators Application development could be complex and thus software developers might require substantial efforts in maintaining application program code In addition, most of the report generators use a different kind of format to store the report model An application is no longer consid - ered an enterprise - level product if XML is not being used elsewhere This paper introduces a XML - driven and Component - based development approach to report generation with the purpose of promoting portability, flexibility and genericity In this approach, report layout is specified using user - defined XML elements together with querie s that retrieve data from different databases A report is output as an HTML document, which can be viewed using an Internet browser This paper presents the approach us - ing an example and discusses the usage of the XML - able report engine of a customisable report generator component system works to output an HTML re port format The customisable report generator component system is implemented to support heteroge neous database models
