1464735 - How do I clean up the viewer when viewing a report using CR for Java

Symptom

When viewing a report using CR for Java, the report object is not cleaned up right away.

Resolution

To clean up the report, use the following code in your cleanup page:


<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer"
%><%
CrystalReportViewer crystalReportViewer;
Object reportSource;
reportSource = session.getAttribute("ReportSource");
crystalReportViewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
crystalReportViewer.setReportSource(reportSource);
crystalReportViewer.dispose();
%>

Some ways to have a clean-up page called are:

  • Have this page called when a new report is requested, to clean up any previously viewed reports
  • Create a 'Logoff' button, that the user clicks that posts to this page
  • Wrap the viewer in a Frame, or create a hidden Frame, that on page unload events invokes JavaScript that calls this page
  • Put the code in a HTTP Session Listener instance registered with the web application to listen for HTTP Session timeout events.
