Give JasperReports a try. Use iReport to create the .jrxml files. JapserReports can handle complex layouts. For those parts of the report based on different queries have a look at using subreports embedded into the main report. Just like @Adrian Smith’s solution this approach will separate the report layout editing from the data sourcing.

See for instance the Hello Servlet from Chapter 9 of my book: public class Hello extends HttpServlet { protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.setContentType(“application/pdf”); try { // step 1 Document document = new Document(); // … Read more

Regarding wkhtmltopdf: This thing works blazingly fast and it can also handle all kinds of HTML/CSS you throw at it, so when you need speed, you should seriosly consider it. We switch to it recently in our company and our PDF serving got enourmous speed-boost. At least under Linux it needs XOrg libraries to be … Read more
