I created a variation of the SampleViewerFrameClient, leveraging the opportunity to automatically refresh (refreshReport()) a Crystal report. This worked in Windows 2007, but fails to work in Windows 2008 and 2003 (in a couple of ways).
One theWindows 8 system with Crystal Reports installed, the viewer frame deploys displaying the report selection window, but after selecting and opening a Crystal report, it presents the following error window:
Problem Showing Report
Error Code: -2147467259
This Windows 8 system happens to have both Crystal Reports 2013 and Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4 installed. Java version JDK 7u55.
On the Windows 2003 system, without any Crystal Reports installation, running Java JRE 1.6, it fails with an exception:
unsupported class version error: SampleViewerFrameClient.
It runs fine from eclipse on the Windows 2008 system.
Thanks!
