JReport provides some web controls such as text field that is usually used in web pages. In most cases, web controls are not used independently. They are bound with some web actions, or put into a form. When a web control is bound with some web actions which will be triggered on certain events, any of the events applied to the web control will make the web actions performed. You can also add some web controls into a form, and then define the form according to your requirements, so that the inputs in JReport Web can be submitted to JReport Enterprise Server and thus be processed.
