reporting ssystem

[erik80]

Hi all!

I am newbie in this field and i have complex question to the experienced guys.
I need to implement own reporting solution for my software.
requirements:
- simple reports (counting items per period) on daily/weekly/monthly basis
- output: probably html table, because it is easy to publish on webpage or sent by email
- automatic! send to client periodicaly
- independent from DB type (oracle/mysql) and OS

is java suitable technology for such task? i believe it is possible to do it in java but i want to hear some opinions

any opinions are appreciated

Hibernate for doing the db stuff, which will allow you to keep it database agnostic.
Quartz for the email scheduling (it's a process scheduler).
