Re: Integrating Jasper Reports into Cakephp

I haven't used Jasper exactly, but you can pretty easily use the PHPJavaBridge to integrate and call it's methods.
Here are some examples I found:

http://community.jaspersoft.com/questions/522176/php-java-bridge-and-jasperreports-howto

Research the PHPJavaBridge more and you will find your answer.


Oh, yes - for the CakePHP part:
Reporting logic looks and sounds like model logic to me. :))
So you can put it in the Model Layer.
How exactly is up to you and depends on the architecture and entity relationships in your application.
You can have table-less models for this or just different methods in different models where you need this.

It could also be a "vendor library" since calling Jasper reporting isn't really a "get that data and manipulate it"-only operation.

Where you put it and how you use it really depends on your needs and preferences.

Cheers,

Ideally I would like to be able to programattically run the generation of reports directly from Cakephp logic.
