ColdFusion Reports

Question

Is it possible to run reports generated by ColdFusion Report builder on CFMX7?

More explicitly, is it possible to change the report generation engine in CF7 to CF8?

Answer 1

My guess is this might be difficult to do.. I recall there being changes in the reporting between CF7 and CF8.. meaning the interfacing between the libraries also evolved.

I have been going back and forth between using report builder and doing html reports where it gets too complicated for CFRB.

Have you considered using a Java Reporting solution? There are some great libraries out there that might do what you're looking for .. free.

Here's one I am looking at called Jasper Reports
