Deployment model for application built on JRC of CR XI

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have developed a standalone Java application using JRC component of CR XI. This application will take report template as input, then set datalocation in report tables using JRC and finally generates PDF reports.

This application runs fine and i have tested it on the machine where CRXI is installed. For this application to run, keycode is to be set in CRConfig.xml file.

My question is reg the deployment enviroment (& the keycode):

1) Can an application built using JRC run on a machine where there is no CRXI installed?

2) Should the application built using JRC always have the CRConfig.xml with keycode to work? Is there a way to surpass this?

3) Per my understanding JRC component can be freely embedded in web application, then in this case should the application server also have the CR XI installed to take care of keycode in CRConfig.xml

4) I am expecting my standalone java application with CR XI JRC components to run on a machine that doesn't have CR XI installed, is it feasible & how?

TIA,

M.Ravi

1. I depends upon the application. Your application might be consisting of .rpt file, which is readable only by CR XI. Though application has been built using JRC , It does require CR XI to be installed.

Also there is Keycode Tag in CRConfig.xml which matters a big.

2. Yes, It should always have CRConfig.xml file. But the lates CR4E 2.0 does not require the keycode configured in CRConfig.xml file.
