Is it possiable to generate crystal reports from JSP web application.
Please provide me information on this.
From google i found some info
http://www.businessobjects.com/products/dev_zone/java/default.aspBut it is licienced.
Is there anything which is free in using this or atleast any other free reporting tool for JSP weba application

  • BusinessObject 4.0 API to get SQL statement from webi or crystal report

    Hello,
    Need your help.... could you confirm whether BusinessObjects 4.0 provides any SDK, API or Web Service to get physical SQL statement from the webi or crystal reports file?
    If so, could you provide name of package, class and method?
    If I am not wrong, there is an SDK in v3.0 that allows to extract the SQL. But I am reading a lot on these forums that lot of SDK classes and functions are deprecated / removed in v4.0.
    Thanks for your help.
    Omer

    For Crystal Reports in BI 4.0 to retrieve the SQL query you can use Report Application Server SDK. Here is a code snippet that retrieves the SQL statement.
    //oInfoObjectReport is of type IInfoObject corresponding to the crystal report.
    ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = reportAppFactory.openDocument(oInfoObjectReport, 0, Locale.ENGLISH);
            //for all crystal reports
            GroupPath grpPath = new GroupPath();
            //get CR SQL query string
            String reportSQL=reportClientDoc.getRowsetController().getSQLStatement(grpPath,null);
            System.out.println("report SQL String: "+reportSQL);
            //for report whose datasource is command object:
            Tables tables = reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
            for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++)
             ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
             ICommandTable ic= (ICommandTable) table;
             //Command can be obtained from the report using getCommandObject() method
             //get CR SQL query string
             String SQLText=ic.getCommandText();
             System.out.println("SQLText_"+i+": "+SQLText);

  • Empty report returned from WEBI and Crystal report when using external hier

    Hi,
    WEBI and Crystal report build from BEX query returned empty report when we used external hierarchy 0PROFIT_CTR.  In BEX we don't have any problems with it.
    No authority check is perfomed on the hierarchy when we start the report in WEBI/Crystal. Only check on the hierarchy is performed when the root authorization is assigned to the user

  • Best way to manage images on jsp web application

    Hi,
    Am developing a jsp web application, in that project, the user will upload the image files, now I created an image directory in the context root and when the image is uploaded by the user it is saved in the /images directory and the image path is saved in the database. I can display this image using the <img src="images/a.jsp" > tag.
    but when I rebuild the project all the images in the /images directory get deleated but the image path is remained in the database, is there any method that I make /image dir outside my project context root so that when I rebuild the project the /images dir can get changed and my project will save images outside the context root that is in the /images dir which is now outside the project context root. and is it possible to display those images using <img src""> tag. because this time my /images dir is at D:/images . what could be the best method or way to handle images with the web application.
    any suggestion will be helpfull

    Well my friend as per your given case there are to two ways of approaching your problem.
    Case 1:
    How to save the relevant data ??
    .Create a backup folder Workstation on which you are hosting your application where you can store all the uploaded files which is outside the scope of webserver(However we can write a dedicated servlet which can access that file) and make sure we pickup from any the folder path from a specfic MessageResource bundle or an context/servlet init parameter in web.xml.
    .Write a Upload servlet/Backing Bean which saves all the files in the discussed folder using utility packages like Commons FileUpload,Oreilly MultipartRequest & etc and then register saved fileName in the database user specfic table specific to user.
    How to display the Image ??
    .Write a dedicated servlet which can pickup user related fileName specfic information from the database and the read the file from backup folder by constructing the path from the entry made as a init param in web.xml or any other custom MessageResource bundle and then stream the Image data using the ServletOutputStream.
    NOTE: do not forget to pickup & setImage file ContentType & Set the content length.
    .Just try to render the JSP view file where we are displaying the displaying the images by calling the dedicated ImageServlet.
    <img src="ImageServlet?userid=2345" align="center"/>Try to refer below posts to get a better understading.
    Dedicated Image Servlet:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5208858&messageID=9840042#9840042
    Uploading Files Using Servlet:
    http://muimi.com/j/jakarta/commons/fileupload/
    Case 2
    The second method would more or less the same but here we would save the uploaded file
    content is saved in the Database as a Blob and we would retrive it back using a dedicated image servlet again.
    However,in terms of performance the second case implementation is very costly.
    Try to refer below posts to get a better understading on the second case.

  • Merits and Demerits of WEBI and Crystal reports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dear Experts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I came up with many documents, but i cannot able to find the exact merits and demerits over WebI and Crystal Reports.
    Experts can u people help me out in this regards,
    Atleast the comparison between them.
    Regards,
    Suman Thangadurai

    What angle are you coming at this from?
    Are you talking about in terms of replacing Deski?
    Or as a first reporting tool to learn?
    If you're moving away from Deski, I'd personally go for Webi. Very small amount of learning required to move from one to the other. It's also much easier to pick up and start working with.

  • Embedding WebI and Crystal reports on a web page

    Hi,
    I'm new to BO, so please bear with me. I've also posted this to the .NET-side, so sorry if you've seen this post before.
    We have a project where we will need to embed WebI and Crystal reports on a web page, i.e. we want the people who access the web page to get the reports (mainly graphs) as embedded content on the web page without any controls and other clutter.
    Is this possible and what's the correct way of doing this?
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Hi,
    Thanks for the help!
    We still face the original problem, though. I.e. with openDocoument we get the report, controls, tab selections, scroll bars etc. What we actually would like is to get just the contents of a report.
    Is there any way of doing it? We're not afraid of coding, we have good developers. Or do we need to schedule report creation to some format (e.g. PDF) and then load the PDF to the web page?
    Basicaly it's more important to get this working for WebI reports as we can redo almost all reports from Crystal to WebI. Of course we are happy to find a resolution for both cases.

    According to the release notes, for the JRCHelperSample to compile, you must set the target runtime for the project.
    To do this, either create a project from scratch that uses the Tomcat 5.5 target runtime, or go to the properties menu and ensure that the target runtime is set to the application server you will be using.

  • Web based Crystal Report not appearing

    Hi
    Hope this hasn't been asked before, had a look in the forum but couldn't find it specifically.
    I am developing a web application with one CR in it.
    VS 2010 + CR for VS installed on development machine.
    The development environment is all fine, works a treat. The problems started when I tried shipping to our staging environment, and also a test area on our live server.
    Our live web server is running Windows Server 2008 Web edition R2 with dotnet V4 x86 runtime installed.
    After overcoming 'Type Initializer' error, 'log4net.dll' error and 'LoadReport' error on the live server, the live server now just displays a blank page.
    When I had this problem on the staging server I found that this was caused by the 'aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13' folder not existing or in the right place. It works on the staging server when I'm browsing using http://localhost etc.
    Things I have done to get the report working on the live server:
    1. Install CR Runtime 32bit V13
    2. Set security settings on C:\Windows\Temp to allow web user (actually set to 'Everyone' until it's all working properly) read/write access
    3. Moved  folder 'aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13' to the application folder and the www root folder (have tried in various places also)
    I have to say that the report is displayed when I'm on the live web server and browse using http://localhost etc., and I can repeat the problem by moving the crystalreportviewers13 folder out of where it should be.
    After getting all this done over the past 2 DAYS I believe that the problem lies with the location of the 'crystalreportviewers13' folder. Although it could be something else.
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
    Julian

    OK, apologies. posted in haste!
    It seems that the report is working, it's just the browser I was viewing it from simply doesn't display it. No idea why yet, but not too worried as all other machines I try it on, it works.
    A little annoyed however at the amount of time I've wasted trying to get this working. Is it documented anywhere for instance that C:\Windows\Temp needs special privileges set up to make a web crystal report work?
    Anyway, please ignore this, and the last post!
    Cheers
    Julian

    So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
    that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
    A cluster has the following parameters:
    className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class
    name = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything
    mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes
    mcastBindAddr = bind the multicast socket to a specific address
    mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
    mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
    auto means that address becomes
    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
    false means to replicate the session after each request.
    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
    <%
    HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
    map.put("key","value");
    %>
    replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
    nodes have received the information.
    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
    and then return to the client.
    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
    large network delay.
    -->
    <!--
    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
    coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
    A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
    2. a session exists (has been created)
    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
    ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.
    The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
    Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
    so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
    The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
    and cluster wide

    I have set the context path to /tdm in the server.xml file. Should this be placed in context.xml?
    My first page in the project is called Homepage.html. To start my project I give http://localhost:5050/tdm/homepage.html
    in a browser. Here I accept a username and password from the user and then do the validation in
    a valid.jsp file, where I connect to the database and check and use jsp:forward to go to next pages
    accordingly. However when I enter the username and password and click Go in the homepage, nothing is
    displayed on the next page. The URL in the browser says valid.jsp but a blank screen appears.
    WHY DOES IT HAPPEN SO? DOES IT MEAN THAT TOMCAT IS NOT RECOGNIZING JAVA IN MY SYSTEM OR IS IT A PROBLEM
    WITH THE DATABASE CONNECTION OR SOMETHING ELSE? I FEEL THAT TOMCAT IS NOT EXECUTING JSP COMMANDS?
    IS IT POSSIBLE?WHY WILL THIS HAPPEN?
    I set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment to the jdk and tomcat folders resp.
    Is there any other thing that I need to set in classpath? Should I have my project as a
    WAR file in the webapps of TOMCAT or just a folder i.e. directory structure will fine?

    I am using Tomcat 5.5 and Jdk 1.5.0_12 and Oracle 10g. I am using jdbc-odbc bridge connection
    to connect to the database. I have placed my project folder called
    tdm under the webapps folder in Tomcat. This 'tdm' folder consists of
    a collection of html pages,jsp pages and images of my project. Also I created a
    WEB-INF folderand in that I have lib folder which contains catalina-root.jar
    , classes12.jar and nls_charset.jar files. And also in the WEB-INF folder I have the web.xml
    file which looks like this

    When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
    and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
    When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
    and cluster wide

    I have set the context path to /tdm in the server.xml file. Should this be placed in context.xml?
    My first page in the project is called Homepage.html. To start my project I give http://localhost:5050/tdm/homepage.html
    in a browser. Here I accept a username and password from the user and then do the validation in
    a valid.jsp file, where I connect to the database and check and use jsp:forward to go to next pages
    accordingly. However when I enter the username and password and click Go in the homepage, nothing is
    displayed on the next page. The URL in the browser says valid.jsp but a blank screen appears.
    WHY DOES IT HAPPEN SO? DOES IT MEAN THAT TOMCAT IS NOT RECOGNIZING JAVA IN MY SYSTEM OR IS IT A PROBLEM
    WITH THE DATABASE CONNECTION OR SOMETHING ELSE? I FEEL THAT TOMCAT IS NOT EXECUTING JSP COMMANDS?
    IS IT POSSIBLE?WHY WILL THIS HAPPEN?
    I set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment to the jdk and tomcat folders resp.
    Is there any other thing that I need to set in classpath? Should I have my project as a
    WAR file in the webapps of TOMCAT or just a folder i.e. directory structure will fine?

  • Problems about deploying Oracle web application (Forms, Reports)

    I am going to deploy Oracle web applications (Forms and Reports) and plan to use the same server machine for both Application web server and Database server.
    1. How can I enable SSL (for data encryption) on Application web server for Oracle Forms ?
    2. Since both Application web server and Database server will use the same machine, do I still need Oracle Advanced Security for data transmission between Application web server and Database server if data encryption for transmission is required ?
    3. Can I user Oracle Forms to call Oracle Report on web as I did in Client/Server in the past ?
    Experts like you may have come across such problems. Would you please give me some opinions/ideas ?
    Regards,
    Richard

    1. check the paper about the Forms servlet architecture on otn forms section for SSL tips.
    3. Check the reports and forms integration paper on otn too.

  • Web printing crystal report hangs on report.PrintOptions.PrinterName

    Hello,
    I have a report web page that displays a crystal report.  I have added a modal popup to allow them to select their printers.  When I go to print the report is hangs on the line of rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName = li.Text.  The printer names are added to the list box using a Java applet.
    Here is the Sub it is running.
        Public Sub PrintReports()
            rpt = CType(Session("rpt"), ReportDocument)
            For Each li As ListItem In Me.lbPrinters.Items
                If li.Selected AndAlso li.Text <> "" Then
                    rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName = li.Text
                    rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = CType(Me.cboDuplex.SelectedItem.Value, CrystalDecisions.Shared.PrinterDuplex)
                    rpt.PrintToPrinter(CInt(Me.txtNumOfCopies.Text), True, CInt(Me.txtPageStartRange.Text), CInt(Me.txtPageRangeEnd.Text))
                End If
            Next
            Me.mpePrint.Hide()
        End Sub
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Sounds like you're trying to implement server side printing in your app. Which is fine, except the CR ActiveX print is client side printing. Just in case you're interested, the way to enable activeX print is to go to the property of the CR viewer and find "PrintMode". It will more than likely be defaulted to PDF. Change that to ActiveX.
    Now, back to the issue. This may still be a matter of permissions - essentially what Adam was after. Probably the easiest way to determine that is to use the [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] utility. Once you have the log, search it for "Access Denied" messages.

  • Not able to schedule Webi and Crystal reports in Infoview

    Hi All,
    We are using Business Objects XI 3.1.
    I am not able to schedule reports in Infoview irrespective of the report type.
    The Webi report throws the error "Bad Request(Invalid URL)" when I hit on the Format Destination section.
    The Crystal report without prompt hangs when I hit schedule button and the report with prompt throws the error "An error has occurred:Invalid postback or callback argument."
    Recently we installed the Fixpack 1.2 for XI 3.1.
    Thanks in Advance
