Quest JClass ServerViews 5.0 is a set of server-side JavaTM technology components for adding charts and reports to servlet, JavaServer PagesTM (JSPTM) technology and JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EETM platform) applications. Recently released by Quest Software Inc., this product eliminates the need to build charting and reporting capabilities from scratch.

Charts and print-ready documents can be developed and brought from a J2EE platform application to Web browsers of an entire network of end-users. Integrative with leading J2EE application servers, Quest JClass ServerViews 5.0 improves developer productivity and adds new flexibility to reports generated from J2EE application servers and server-based Java technology applications.

"Server-side Java developers need components that enable them to build high-quality applications more quickly and easily, and JClass ServerViews 5.0 delivers on this vision," said Larry Humphries, vice president of development solutions, Quest Software. "The new JSP tag library will save chart developers huge amounts of time, and the new RTF output gives report developers new flexibility to offer their end-users."

New enhancements with this release include

JClass ServerReport

A 100 percent Java technology server-side component library that dynamically generates high-quality custom printable documents

  • Offers RTF output in addition to Adobe PDF
  • Enables end-users to edit or further augment reports generated
  • Better control for tables
  • Updated support for generating encrypted PDF documents
  • Improved WYSIWYG report design tool with enhanced templating and enhanced previewing

JClass ServerChart

A robust and scalable Java technology component for server-side charting

  • Includes its own JSP tag library for changing and customizing chart properties with simple tags instead of writing Java code
  • Offers greatly enhanced grid and tick options
  • Visual and functional improvements to both charts and the visual chart design tool

"Java components are a proven technology and a great way to quickly add high-quality functionality to server- or client-side Java applications," said Mark Driver, vice president and research director, Gartner Inc. "IT developers creating servlet, JSP or J2EE applications should look for 100 percent pure server-side Java component libraries that are designed to work with J2EE application servers. Scalable and robust components are particularly important for high-volume Web-based Java enterprise applications."
