WebObjects™, and includes enhanced design tools, template security, and
page-serving technology.
Santa Clara, CA -- October 23, 2003 -- Quadbase Systems,
a leading supplier of Java™-based information delivery and presentation
solutions, today announced the release of EspressReport® 3.5. The new
version adds over 50 new features and enhancements to Quadbase's powerful
reporting tools.
Full WebObjects integration enables rapid development
and deployment
EspressReport 3.5 now offers full integration with WebObjects. User's
building Web applications can easily include the powerful reporting features
into their projects. The report API can use WOComponent classes to return
dynamic pages. In addition, report data can be passed in using NSArray,
allowing EspressReport to integrate with WebObjects' EO Model and Fetch
specifications.
Key features enhance template re-usability and
cut development time
For version 3.5 EspressReport introduces a new template security feature.
Using this feature, automatic filters for input data, and report content
can be defined within the template. By simply applying a filter at run-time,
single templates can deliver customized presentations to many different
users. Also for version 3.5 the internal scripting feature have been enhanced,
giving users even more dynamic run-time control of report properties. Automated
data source updating features make it easier to migrate reports between
installations.
New deployment options streamline report publication
For ease of deployment, EspressReport now allows users to pack all of
the report files into a single deployment file. Now charts, sub-reports,
drill-down layers, and images, can be deployed as a single file. This cuts
down on file maintenance, and makes it easy to deploy and run reports. A
new viewer component has been added as well. This application/applet viewer
employs a unique page-serving technology, allowing large reports to be
viewed on the client without sacrificing memory or performance.
New design features reduce report creation time,
and give users more flexibility
commonly used features more accessible. New positioning features make
it easy to add and align report elements. EspressReport now supports all
system fonts, and provides methods to embed fonts within exported PDF files.
