Where is the displaytag of scheduled reporting?
- by Nathan Feger
So I have been making some reports and using displaytag to output these reports in html, csv, excel, pdf, etc.  They are paginated, and take a simple object graph... and output excellent results everytime, with very little code.  
However, I need to use displaytag or its equivalent outside of a jsp.  So that a user can schedule a report to run, and that report is stored in a db, or emailed for later viewing.  I have looked at jasper-based reporting solutions, but making a jasper jrxml file is just a nightmare.  I know there are gui tools to help, but I'm content with the simple output of displaytable, so I'm happy to give up that control for ease of implementation.
Really, if I could take the display:table config out of the jsp I would, so please keep that in mind when proposing a solution.
btw, java solutions would be my cup of tea.
