Abstract :
This paper describes a software tool termed GARP (an acronym for Generador Automatico de Reportes) aimed to generate automatically Web reports from a database scheme. This goal is achieved by the creation of a set of JSP (Javaserver page) files containing all the information required b the reports. These files are generated using the XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and XSL (eXtensible Sheet Language) languages, considered as the standard languages for information exchange using the WWW. The developed tool is applied for the generation of a Web report, which demonstrates the main features of the tool and the advantages of using XML and XSL for the generation of the required set of JSP files.
