Sample 0: The base class

Parent article

The AbstractReportGenerator class shown below is extended by the two primary example applications. It contains the basic logic that creates a report, leaving the details of input and output to the classes that extend it:

/**
 * This is the base class used with the report generation examples. It contains the actual <code>embedding</code>
 * of the reporting engine and report generation. All example embedded implementations will need to extend this class
 * and perform the following:
 * <ol>
 * <li>Implement the <code>getReportDefinition()</code> method and return the report definition (how the report
 * definition is generated is up to the implementing class).
 * <li>Implement the <code>getTableDataFactory()</code> method and return the data factory to be used (how
 * this is created is up to the implementing class).
 * <li>Implement the <code>getReportParameters()</code> method and return the set of report parameters to be used.
 * If no report parameters are required, then this method can simply return <code>null</code>
 * </ol>
