Hi everyone,
I have used Crystal Reports XI Release 2 to create a report which uses an odbc connection and I would like to simply print this report through java code.
My application is simply a java desktop application (no web services, no jsp) developed in Eclipse Galileo 3.5. I don't know which is really the best SDN to use.
I've tried JRC but I think JRC needs a jdbc connection, please correct me if I'm wrong. If JRC can work in this case could you please help me configure it as it seems everything else failed.. I did follow the instructions in configuring the CRConfig.xml but I get errors concerning stylesheets..
I've also tried loading a dll and then calling it's native methods. However I am not sure if I need to implement them (as I've read in so many forums) or if they can be simply be called after declaring them in a java class.
Also, I don't know if it complicates things or not but I have CR4E 2.0 also installed in eclipse, but the sdk is not added in the current project I'm working on. Hoping there are no conflicts between that and anything I've tried so far.
Can this SDK be used for printing a report that was created in Crystal Reports XI?
I'm currently examining this and the viewers sdk. Most of the documentation, however refer to web services or jsp implementations so they are a bit confusing.
So recap!
Objective: Printing a crystal report (XI release 2) from a java desktop application (eclipse IDE) using an odbc connection
Question: Which JDK can be used and how can it be configured?
Thanks
