Java Plugin Viewer with Crystal Reports 2008

Former Member

Hello,

I am trying to use the Java Plugin Viewer with Crystal Reports, but I have some problems. The ActiveX Viewer works well, but as I want to use the reports in other browsers, I need the Java viewer.

I have a Visual Basic 6 application, and, instead of including SmartViewerActiveX.asp, I have included JavaPluginViewer.asp. I have taken this file from an older version of Crystal, and I am changing the values on it (I have done the same with the ActiveX Viewer, without problems). This is the main code of the file:

<OBJECT

    classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"

    width="100%"

    height="100%"

    codebase="/crystalreportviewers11/JavaPlugin/Win32/j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe#Version=1,4,0,0">

    <param name=type value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4">

    <param name=code value="com.crystaldecisions.ReportViewer.ReportViewer">

    <param name=codebase value="/crystalreportviewers11/JavaViewer/">

    <param name=archive value="ReportViewer.jar">

    <param name=Language value="en_US">

    <param name=ReportName value="RDCrptserver11.asp">

    <param name=CanDrillDown value="true">

    <param name=HasExportButton value="true">

    <param name=HasGroupTree value="true">

    <param name=ShowGroupTree value="true">

    <param name=HasPrintButton value="true">

    <param name=HasRefreshButton value="true">

    <param name=HasTextSearchControls value="true">

    <param name=HasZoomControl value="true">

    <param name=HasSearchExpert value="false">

    <param name=HasSelectExpert value="false">

    <param name=ShowLogo value="false">

</OBJECT>

I know how to change all the values of this object so it works with Crystal2008 except one: the codebase.

I have gone to IIS, and under the virtual folder "crystalreportviewers12" I don't see any JavaPlugin folder, there's only the JavaViewer folder, and there isn't any .exe inside...

So, where can I find the .exe for the codebase?

I have tried searching the web for a tutorial or something, but I haven't seen anything for Crystal 2008.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much!

This is so wrong, I don't even know which forum this would belong to ( I think I'll move it to the topic Space...

Let's start with this:


I have taken this file from an older version of Crystal,

Don't mix versions. It will not work. Period

Next re:


I don't see any JavaPlugin folder,

If you want a Java solution, I'd recommend using CR for Eclipse which you can download from here:

SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download

I would then recommend having a peek here:

Developer Help File is here:

https://help.sap.com/javadocs/cr/xi/jrc/en/overview-summary.html

Finally, I'm not sure what references you are making in your VB 6 app, but there is no SDK in CR 2008 that supports VB 6.
