Salam ( == Hi ); As I understood; you want to use Java to generate a report in HTML format. There is a simple to do job. You just need to do the following: 1- Create an HTML file and Open it in Java; 2- Add header data to the file; 3- Connect to your data source; for example MySQL using JDBC; 4- Run a query to the data source; 5- Parse the query result; 6- Add a parsed query result in appropriate places at the HTML file; 7- Finally add footer to the file; 8- Close the stream; To show it in your program; use the Swing library; there is a tut. on sun.com; link
