calling crystal report from jsp

[sweta naidu]

I am developing a struts application and i want to call crystal report from jsp so that users can see the existing report.

The crystal report server is in the network and i have to provide authentication and then the report name. Can anyone suggest me where to start.

Since this is much more about the Crystal Reports API than JSP technology, I've moved this to the Other Java Products and Servers forum.

Thanks for the reply. I am using crystalreports version 11 and tomcat5.5 application server. and it is a enterprise.

Ok you can call a javascript function. In the fuction provide the URL with report_id and parameters that are to be passed for the report template.
Example:

URL = reportURL+"?rpt=GRP_USER&db="+database+"&GROUP_ID="+grpId+&RANDOM="+counter;
window.open(URL,"GroupUsersReport","scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=700,height=650");


Here I am passing the reportURL which points to Main.csp
In my example:
http://s-ce01d/crystal/ace/screens/main.csp that is -
http://servername/path/main.csp
Pass the parameters after '?' seperate the parameters with '&'.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Sai
