Have you looked at:

This paper has good information about IBM HTTP Server (which is essentially Apache)

If I am using 4.1.18 LE of Tomcat, this is what I did.

Place JSP in Root.
copy crystalreportviewers under ROOT from common\crystal decision\2.0
Create WEB-INF\lib under ROOT and copy all the jar from common\crystal decision\2.0

copy the web.xml from webwizard folder and modify the uri_image??? section, so virtual directory to crystalreportviewers is set inside this project.

Restart the Tomcat.

If you are not using LE, xerces.jar of crystal and tomcat causes conflict. Place the xerces.jar of crystal in the endorsed folder of the Tomcat.


I hope this helps.
