We have a bunch of crystal reports and we would like to use those on our ruby on rails app. I was wondering if it was possible? Is there a plugin of some sort or crystal report viewer for ruby? I would appreciate any feedback.

I also need to work on the similar requirement.

I am also exploring on the same requirement. Java supports generating reports with crystal reports. For ROR applications, I hope JRUBY will give a solution for this(for accessing the jave libraries). But I am yet to try it out. Please check JRuby and let us know whether it can be useful. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Crystal reports can be configured to read XML input and format it
accordingly. Hence, you can use a rails handler to output your report
data in XML format and that should allow crystal reports to read from
it.
example of your XML_REPORT.RHTML :
<data>
<% for item in @data %>
<item>
<id><%= item.id %></id>
<name><%= h(item.name) %></name>
<desc><%= h(item.desc) %></desc>
</item>
<% end %>
</data>

Hi, you can also do the following in the controller action to return the XML of the data result set: @data = DataModel.find(:all) @data.to_xml Good luck, -Conrad Sent from my iPhone On May 19, 2008, at 12:02 AM, Rails Terrorist <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org > wrote:> > Crystal reports can be configured to read XML input and format it > accordingly.

Re: Crystal report with ruby on rails
Reinhart, I''m starting a new family of Inventory related web applications and am sitting at the bottom of a high mountain hoping to hear a rumbling from the ''Report Gods'' and hope this might be it? I''ve studied the Ruport strategy and fear it''s a DEAD END as it clearly hasn''t caught on and I expect it''ll someday lose the attention of its progenators. Anyway, is the Crystal Reports strategy something like this: The server creates the output in an XML format and downloads it to the client machine. The client user ''fires up'' his Crystal Reports'' desktop application and loads a report format and then directs this formatted report to the local XML data source? I expect you laugh at my questions but as you can see, I''m at the "is it an animal, mineral or vegetable" stage of this journey.

Hi, I have implemented the Crystal Reports and ROR integration for my application.
