The JavaServer Faces Components for Crystal Enterprise provide a set of components, managed beans, and associated classes that build on the Crystal Enterprise class library. Use JavaServer Faces Components for Crystal Enterprise to construct a Crystal Enterprise application, quickly and easily. The framework is composed of multiple layers:
The JSF components run on the server and encapsulate the user
The supplied managed beans are server
The managed beans encapsulate information that is used repeatedly, such as user authentication credentials and Crystal Enterprise items. You can easily maintain and pass that information from page to page.
The key advantage that components and managed beans offer is that they operate independently. Components allow you to change the UI of your application, without having to change the underlying logic or data that the beans manipulate. For an overview of the managed beans, see Managed Java beans.
The JavaServer Faces Components for Crystal Enterprise contain their own rich class library that accesses and extends the functionality of the JSF components. To view the API documentation, see the Crystal Reports for Rational Application Developer Java API Reference.
The JavaServer Faces Components for Crystal Enterprise are built on top of the Crystal Enterprise Java SDK. As a result, you have full access to the complete Crystal Enterprise class library to further extend and enhance the functionality of you web applications. For more information on the Crystal Enterprise framework and to view the API documentation, see the Crystal Enterprise Java SDK Guide.
