What I have been exploring is Jasper Reports with their Report Server. It exposes REST JSON APIs that I can then call from other applications. The resulting report can then be streamed via the HTTP response. I have found it perfect for my needs and will probably be expanding on its use in my applications in the future. A bonus is that you can get a report's parameters from an API and so could generate dynamic inputs in whatever program is consuming it. I definitely suggest Jasper Reports to anyone looking for an alternative to something like Crystal Reports.

Thanks. But can they be integrated in an asp web app? Or server is a must? Do you have a working example?
