Watermark in WAR-exported Apps

[Former Member]

Hi *,

I tried a lot to get rid of the watermark, but without success. Using Eclipse, everything is fine, no watermark, neither in preview nor in "printed" reports. But when I transfer the whole project to a "stand-alone"-tomcat via project-export to WAR-file and deploy to tomcat, the watermark is there.

I tried to patch the CRConfig.xml in the WEB-INF/classes-folder beneath my project-folder, but there is no success.

BTW: I updated 2 days ago the binaries via eclipse's update-mechanism. Now I have 1.0.4.v1094 and SDK 11.8.0, both are dated 22.11.2007

Any idea? Do I have to register a second time???

Going to try it, but I think, it will not help, since the eclipse-based reports are watermark-less.

Please help!

Regards,

Hans.

Can you verify if the CRConfig.xml file in the exported WAR file contains a keycode entry? If not, try right-clicking on the web project, and select Crystal Reports > Update Keycodes, and export the project again.

The simple solution is: Create XML file named as CRConfig.xml and paste the following

<!l version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8>Don't forget to replace YOUR KEY CODE with the key which u get when u download com.businessobjects.keycodes.jrc_11.8.0.XXXXXXX.zip and add the above file to src folder. This will work even if you are

publishing reports using struts frame work.

Thank you

I am having a similar issue. We have a build server that builds our project. When the project is built outside of Eclipse, I get the watermark. Let me know if you found an answer.
