Datavision is another decent choice: http://datavision.sourceforge.net/
On the home page there is a link to an article I wrote about using it in
a webapp (straight servlets). I've used it in Struts apps too, it's
trivial if you use the article (and the accompanying sample code) as a
starting point.
It's not quite as feature-rich as Jasper or Crystal, but it gets the job
done pretty well, can output to a number of formats (HTML, PDF, etc.) is
free and is extremely easy to work with.

It depends on what you are looking for.
I have used both, and think they both suck. :-D
Jasper has the advantage that it is free, but usability is crappy.
Crystal has the advantage that it usually works, but requires a
windows PC to modify the reports.
Choose the evil you prefer. ;-)
On a side note, if you are looking to support something more printable
than html, the jexcelapi project provides a decent and easy to use
excel format. I tried FOP to create PDF files several years ago, but
at that time it was a massive CPU/memory hog...it may be better now.
A google search on "java pdf creation" will also turn up a TON of info...

You can try Jasper reports...
Havent used it a lot myself .. but looks like a decent open source tool for
generating reports with support for PDF, excel etc...

Hi friends
Can you recommend me a reporting tool that works nicely with Struts?
Does someone use Crystal Reports?
Thanks
