printing from Java

Posted by Frank Hale on 2000-03-23

What I'm doing is writing a database front end using
Java and Swing. I need to have the capability to
print off reports. I've come up with an idea and I
would like to know if anyone has tried it or if it
will work. I get the data I need from the database
(easy part) then I build a HTML page using the data
which will form my report. Then I print off the HTML
widget using Java's printing capability. Using the
HTML
widget in Swing will give me the capability to make
very flexible reports. Does this sound like a good
idea?

thanks,
Frank
