This documentation covers the Viewer Java SDK. The Viewer Java SDK contains lightweight components intended to provide web developers with versatile tools for displaying reports inside JSP pages using DHTML. These components offer properties that you can use to control actions such as displaying buttons or displaying a group tree, page, or toolbar. They also support event handling, exporting, printing, displaying multiple viewers in the same page, and both automatic and developer-specified prompting for database or parameter information.

These lightweight components include the Java viewers that inherit functionality from the {@link com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.ReportServerControl ReportServerControl} Object. The viewers do not require frames and can co-exist with other HTML that you wish to display on the same page as the report. Each viewer provides different capabilities.

Class Description

{@link com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.ReportServerControl ReportServerControl} Provides the ability to log on to the database or BusinessObjects Enterprise, pass parameters or the selection formula, and define the report source.

{@link com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.ReportExportControl ReportExportControl} Provides exporting functionality including the ability to preview an exported report or save an exported report to disk.

{@link com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer CrystalReportViewer} Provides basic viewer capabilities. Can also produce output in PDA format.

{@link com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportInteractiveViewer CrystalReportInteractiveViewer} Provides all the capabilities of the Java report page viewer, plus the ability to do an Advanced search on the current report.

{@link com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.GridViewer GridViewer} Provides the ability to view data from a report in a table format that is independent of the original formatting.

{@link com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportPartsViewer CrystalReportPartsViewer} Provides the ability to view individual report parts (charts, text, or fields). Can also produce output in mobile and PDA format.

Crystal Reports also provides a {@link com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportSmartTagInfoParser CrystalReportSmartTagInfoParser} Object that is used in conjunction with the Java report page or Java report part viewers to parse smart tags.

Note: To create or modify a particular report through the RAS SDK, you must have the appropriate license key code, as well as rights to view, refresh, edit, and export the report. For details, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator’s Guide.

Note: It is recommended that you perform your own garbage collection at the application level. The Viewer Java SDK does not handle its own garbage collection.
