WWDC 2003, SAN FRANCISCO -- June 23, 2003 -- Quadbase
Systems, a leading supplier of Java™-based information delivery and presentation
solutions, today announced the release of EspressReport v3.0.2. The new
version adds several features and enhancements, and provides full support
for Mac OS X and WebObjects, Apple’s Java application server for Web publishing
and enterprise application development.
EspressReport is a sophisticated reporting solution
from Quadbase Systems. Written in pure Java it allows users to develop
and deploy professional-looking reports across virtually any platform.
With a robust Java API, and extensive design interfaces, EspressReport
supports virtually any reporting requirement from the simple output of
application data to detailed presentations of corporate information.
EspressReport can generate reports in HTML/DHTML, text, CSV, XML, Rich
Text, PDF, and Excel formats.
“We are very excited about this release,” said Fred Luk,
President of Quadbase Systems. “System interoperability has been key to
the success of EspressReport in the development community, so support for
Apple platforms is a natural progression, and it gives us a new growth
opportunity.”
“Mac OS X and WebObjects are built with open standards
to give developers and end users the flexibility to work the way that is
best for them,” said Ron Okamoto, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer
Relations. “With EspressReport's support for Mac OS X, Mac users benefit
from a full-featured tool for that takes advantage of open standards to
easily work across applications as well as online through a Web browser.”
With version 3.0.2, Quadbase now offers powerful information,
reporting and visualization capabilities for the Mac. The Swing-based GUI components
including the Report Designer, Chart Designer, and query interfaces have been optimized
for Mac OS X. Mac OS X users can launch the Report Designer as an
application, or as an applet through a Web browser, and easily build compelling
data presentations in a point-and-click environment. For development
and deployment, the API classes can be fully integrated within WebObjects 5,
and run within a WebObjects application.
Also in version 3.0.2 are several new API interfaces
that make it easier to deploy parameterized reports. With just a few lines
of code, an HTML form can be automatically generated that allows the user
to select parameter values based on information stored in the report template,
and run the report. Performance for generation of large reports has been
optimized, establishing EspressReport as a formidable enterprise-class
report engine.
