Re: How to create a report in JSP

[Haseltine, Celeste]

Nguyen,   I tried to use Crystal Reports 8 with JRUN 3.01 and JSP, and finally gave up.  I had real problems getting the Crystal Report server, IIS and JRUNServer to work together on the same box.  Another friend of mine suggested a work around that was overkill for me, but necessary for him.  They create their reports using Crystal reports via Visual C++ on a different box, and then via CORBA, download the pdf file created by Crystal Reports to the user's browser for display and printing as a pdf file.  That was a little bit overkill for me, so I decided to use just plain XML and XSLT to create some simple reports management needed.  But for more complex and extensive reports, you might want to consider creating the reports in Visual C++,. and using CORBA to pass in parameters to the Visual C++ objects that would create the reports, and then have the "completed" report downloaded to the user's browser.   Celeste      -----Original Message----- From: Nguyen Tra Linh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 10:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to create a report in JSP Hi all ! Sorry for my question, but I've never tried printing report (Crystal Report) in JSP. If it's possible, how to set formulas in JSP. Any guidance or link would be highly appreciated.   Linh. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Nguyen Tra Linh Center for IT Development 34 Truong Dinh Str., Dist. 3, HCMC, Vietnam [EMAIL PROTECTED]
