SmartObjects™ EJB Connector for Crystal Reports™ and Crystal Enterprise™
SmartObjects™ EJB Connector for Crystal Reports® and Crystal Enterprise™ allows you to design and execute Crystal Reports® that access data from an EJB as if they were native Microsoft® objects.
 


Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) and the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE™)
Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB™) technology defines a model for the development and deployment of reusable Java™ server components. Components are pre-developed pieces of application code that allow assembly into working application systems. Java technology currently has a component model called JavaBeans, which supports re-usable development components. The EJB architecture logically extends the JavaBeans component model to support server components.
 


Crystal Reports
®
Crystal Reports® delivers rich, interactive content from virtually any data source, publishes it to the Web in a variety of formats, and integrates it with applications. Crystal Reports® is part of a suite of integrated technologies, ensuring that data can be accessed, analyzed, reported on, and delivered to any stakeholder anytime, anywhere, by any device.
 


What does SmartObjects EJB Connector offer?
SmartObjects EJB Connector allows the Crystal Reports® designer to base reports on data from an EJB running on any Application Server and on any platform. Enabling the re-use of existing Java code is vital in today's time-to-market driven site development.

By providing Crystal Reports® developers the ability to seamlessly integrate with J2EE based technologies, we open the door to the building of heterogeneous solutions that allow the most suitable technologies to be used where they work best.

SmartObjects EJB Connector’s pure Java implementation allows Crystal Reports to access data from an EJB as if it were a data table or a stored procedure. SmartObjects EJB Connector interfaces with any platform and any JVM. Java classes can run on a UNIX platform or even in a Mainframe environment. The SmartObjects EJB Connector is designed for use with Crystal Reports, Crystal Enterprise and Seagate Info™.

 



What ships with the SmartObjects EJB Connector?
The SmartObjects EJB Connector includes all the runtime libraries needed to access EJBs from your Crystal Reports® and/or Crystal Enterprise™ implementation. Also bundled are several examples demonstrating how to access the most popular Application Servers available today, including WebLogic™, WebSphere™, and Jrun™.
