Re: kicking off a report from JDBC?

The oracle report server works well, but requires a few work arounds.

Is this a web application?

I wouldn't run this thing without an http proxy due to serious security holes, but you can bang one together in a dozen lines of code or so.

There is a command line interface for generating reports.
