Pentaho: how to create complex reports

Viewed 385

I have to build a complex report (e.g. header, text and multiple lists and charts, arranged here and there on multiple pages). Something like a complex invoice.

I've found no examples on the net for such reports in Pentaho.

I tried with subreports, but it results in 30 nested subreports, which I think is not good.

The main issue is that I have structured data and I do not feel confortable in transforming that in plain rowsets. Indeed, I'd prefer retrieving data from a web service.

So, is Pentaho the right tool? How can I achieve my goal? (and... is Stckoverflow the right place to post this question?)
