Integrate Crystal Report with J2SE Swing application

The Java Reporting Component (JRC) in Crystal Reports XI Release 2 supports the ability to deploy applications in web and desktop environments. The JRC also includes APIs for server-side exporting and printing of reports, as well as for accessing information about a loaded report such as parameters and database information.

It is possible to deploy the JRC in one of two ways:

1. Embedding the JRC into a desktop Java application. This method requires deployment of the JRC runtimes and thick-client Swing viewer libraries in a desktop application, which is installed on client computers.
2. Embedding the JRC into a J2EE web application. This method involves the deployment of the

JRC runtimes with the zero-client DHTML Viewer in a web application archive (WAR) file.

The JRC is a 100% pure Java reporting engine that allows developers to embed reporting functionality directly into desktop and web applications. The JRC is best suited for delivering simple on demand reports to small departments or workgroups. For serving reports to larger user bases over the web with security, and scalability and fault tolerance, the Crystal Reports Server or BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK is recommended.

Here is a sample project:




You just open the project code by Eclipse IDE, compile with java 1.4 or 1.5 , run it and then you will see window appeared as image above.
