In this chapter, you learned about a broad range of topics. You began with an introduction to Pentaho's open source Business Intelligence Server, which allows organizations to publish, schedule, and build reports from a web application. You learned about action sequences for emailing and bursting reports, along with learning where to set up database connections and add users to the BI Server. You also were introduced to mobile reporting, which included a reference to Pentaho's iPhone BI Extension.
Also in this chapter, you discovered Pentaho Reporting's data source metadata capabilities by implementing your own MetaTableModel
class. You were introduced to Pentaho Reporting's output rendering API through a simple plain old Java object output example.
Finally, you learned more about the Pentaho Reporting community, including where to go to ask questions, file bugs, and how to contribute back to Pentaho's open source reporting projects.
