The Java Application Server hosts the web applications that you write. These applications consist of one or more JavaServer Pages (JSPs) that contain code which uses the Java classes from Crystal Reports 10 Java Reporting Component and the Viewer Java SDK. In response to requests from a user's web browser, the server processes your JSPs to serve HTML and DHTML Crystal report views.
The Viewer Java SDK supplies the Java classes that enable you to programmatically generate HTML or DHTML for web delivery of Crystal report content. The viewer can be customized according to your needs, giving you full control over its display characteristics. Furthermore, the SDK allows you to programmatically export reports to a variety of formats.
See Viewer Java SDK overview for more information.
The Java Reporting Component handles the report rendering process. It runs entirely on a Java Application Server and doesn't require any additional components, such as a Crystal Enterprise server or Report Application Server to run. It communicates with the viewer and data sources to produce HTML and DHTML Crystal report views.
