How do you configure Apache Tomcat (version 4.x)
to work with the stand-alone version of Crystal
Enterprise Report Application Server (RAS) 9?
====================
NOTE:
The stand-alone version of RAS 9 is included with
Crystal Reports 9 on a separate CD.
====================
Solution
====================
NOTE:
If the RAS SDK and RAS Service are installed on
separate computers, ensure that the RAS Java SDK is
installed on the same computer as the web server.
====================
To configure Apache TomCat (version 4.x) to work
with RAS 9:
1. Install RAS 9 and Apache TomCat on the same computer.
2. Copy the 'X:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal
Decisions\2.0\crystalreportviewers' folder to
the TomCat 'webapps\ROOT' folder.
3. Specify the location of the
'crystalreportviewers' folder by adding the
following code to the 'web.xml' file (located in
the TomCat 'webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF' folder):
4. Create a 'lib' folder under the TomCat
'webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF' folder, and then copy the jar files
from the 'X:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\jars'
folder into this folder.
5. Copy any servlet class files for your RAS 9
application into the TomCat 'webapps\ROOT\WEB-
INF\classes' folder.
6. Copy the RAS 9 JSP application files into the
TomCat 'webapps\ROOT' folder.
7. Restart the Apache TomCat server.
