user1254328Sep 20 2017 — edited Sep 20 2017

hello

i know how to use groovy in adf. i am looking at a consolidated list  of ALL groovy expressions like  adf.newValue    adf.currentDate  adf.currentDateTime   adf.context  etc in one place. i searched and got groovy some here there but not a consolidated list.

Thx

Your query might win the award for the "shortest question with the longest answer", but I'll try for a short answer. For the first part, you need to fetch data from the database. For this you could use anything from raw JDBC to an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) tool, like Hibernate. For the second part, I would recommend a reporting tool, like Jasper Reports, BIRT or ReportMill. Currently, only ReportMill has generated reports in JavaFX. But they all generate PDF - and that would be my suggestion: generate PDF and use the platform PDF viewer to display and print reports. You could spend years trying to duplicate all the nice display and print functionality found in Acrobat Reader and Mac OS X Preview.

As it happens, ReportMill (disclosure: me) is working on a tool to do exactly what your question asks for:

There is also a very cool database tool that has JavaFX support called XDEV. We'll both be at JavaOne.
