Report building suggestion

ozyman

Hello all,

I'm looking to get some suggestions on building a report. I'm new to BIRT and so am little over-whelmed with the tonnes of information available.

I'm looking to generate a dynamic report from a POJO. All the data that needs to be published comes from a java class(let's say report). This data is dynamically produced and it has no template. I'll have to create multiple tables(with each having their own structure) and fill them with data. All this information(no.of columns, their names, values for each row etc) can be obtained from the report.

What would be the best way for me to proceed? I read about the scripting and also little about the RE and DE APIs. But I'm not clear on the issue of which one to use when and where. So, could anyone give me the best solution for my case, so that I can build my knowledge on it and generate the reports?

Thanks in advance,
