Actuate eyes Java developers behind ReportingEngines launch 

New division bolsters J2EE application and Web server reporting tools 

Eager to provide Java developers with API-driven and embedded reporting capabilities that can be incorporated into Java applications, Java Server Page (JSP), and servlets, Actuate took the covers of its new “ReportingEngines” division on Tuesday.  

Initially, ReportingEngines will be spearheaded by two products based on Actuate’s Formula One product line, Formula One e.Report Engine and Formula One e.Spreadsheet Engine. Future products will leverage major application servers, such as BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere, said Tom Stafford, director of San Francisco-based ReportingEngines for Actuate.

Stafford said the new division’s API-driven products should appeal to Java developers since they typically desire to programmatically create their own reports rather than rely on a GUI to build report templates from enterprise software companies.

e.Report Engine formats and pools data from Java objects inside applications, enterprise JavaBeans, databases, and text files.  Reports are formatted in XML, PDF, HTML, DHTML, as well as e-mail and are delivered from WebSphere, WebLogic, JRun, or J2EE application or Web server.

Meanwhile, e.Spreadsheet Engine embeds Excel-compatible features into projects deployed from Web servers and J2EE applications while augmenting interactive spreadsheet functions.

Formula One e.Report Engine and e.Spreadsheet Engine are available and cost $4,995 per server.  Each server license includes a full developer license. Both engines can be accessed as a 30-day trial license evaluation at www.reportingengines.com.
