This section describes how to build Enterprise reporting applications using the JavaServer Faces Components for Crystal Enterprise. An Enterprise reporting application is one that connects to Crystal Enterprise in order to access, process, and display reports.
The JavaServer Faces Components for Crystal Enterprise are a set of development tools that can help you to design and implement Crystal Enterprise web applications. They consist of JavaServer Faces components and managed beans built on top of the Crystal Enterprise Java SDK.
The JavaServer Faces Components for Crystal Enterprise can improve your web application development process by:
The components encapsulate functionality that is common in Crystal Enterprise applications, such as logging on to the system, navigating through folders, and viewing reports. These common areas have been encapsulated within components, and made available for use in application development. They allow you to spend less time on implementation, and more time focusing on the problem domain.
The set of pre
The components allow you to spend less time on implementation, and devote more time and resources to test and improve aspects of the application that go beyond its core functionality. For example, the extra time saved in development can be used to prototype the application for usability and customer reviews. Also, the drag
The JavaServer Faces Components for Crystal Enterprise contain a rich API to expand your application. Everything can be customized, and the functionality of your application is not limited to the default functionality of the components. You can write your own event handlers or add more features to each page. Additionally, because the components and beans are built on top of the Crystal Enterprise Java classes, the full Crystal Enterprise Java SDK is fully accessible to application developers who wish to dig deeper and access specialized Crystal Enterprise functionality. The JavaServer Faces Components for Crystal Enterprise provide tools to improve the development process and enhance your applications.
