Crystal Reports and Java

[Gleb]

I need to create Crystal Reports in PDF format on schedule. I know
that it is possible to run Crystal Reports from JSP, but I need
standalone Java app creating pdf reports. When I creating
JPEReportSource obejct "Report location is not specified in the
configuration file" error occurs. Did anyboby maanged to get Crystal
Reports working in standalone Java app? Thank you in advance.

I cannot help you with Crystal Reports, but if you are open to other
solutions, you can try Scribe (www.gestalt.com/Scribe; login: guest,
password: star). Scribe is a Java-based report generator that can create a
PDF report standalone, or as part of another application.

This may not be of much help, but you could try the Crystal Reports support
site at

Looks not bad, but unfortunately we've already created system on .NET,
sory for the M-word in this discussion . And now we need same or
near the same functioanality on Java, primarily for Linux. That's why
we are interesting in Crystal.Although, apparenntly Crystal for pure
Java is not so good as for .NET .

It's a pity, since the Java-based solution like Scribe could be deployed
cross-platform. Anyway, good luck with your struggle against .NET/Crystal.
