Just a note regarding Crystal as a JSP reporting tools. I've attempted to use Crystal Reports with our JRUN Server, and I stumbled upon the issue of port conflicts. I didn't spend a lot of time investigating the problem, but I noted that Crystal Reports by default tried to assign itself to the same port that we had assigned to our JRUN server/IIS 5.0 configuration. Although we could have manually changed the JRUN server/IIS port to another number, that presented additional problems for us. Forcing Crystal to use another port besides it's own assigned default value did introduce some instability issues. I gather this was due to the fact that the Crystal Server also needed to communicate with IIS 5.0 in order to run. I did correspond with another user on the JRUN listserver who had successfully integrated Cyrstal with a JRUN server/IIS 4.0 configuration, but he also confirmed for me that they occasionally had some problems with Crystal. Because their site was not a high usage site, their approach was to "reboot the server" and wait for it to happen again.
Again, I did not investigate or play with Crystal for more than a week before discarding it as a viable option. Since our reporting needs were simple, and the printing of reports were for employee internal use only, I opted to use XML/XSLT for creating reports. But the reports do not have any "options" for the user to change page margins, page breaks, or other formatting issues that you expect from a reporting tool, prior to printing. What you see is what you get when you print, and sometimes the reports are not that pretty. Celeste -----Original Message----- From: M.
