On Windows systems, you can use the Xtreme sample database to build
and view sample reports.
Create a system DSN called "Xtreme
Sample Database" that points to the Microsoft Access file for the Xtreme sample
database. (Consult your operating system documentation for information about
creating a system DSN.)
Note: If you have Crystal Reports
or BusinessObjects Enterprise installed, the Xtreme Sample Database DSN already
exists.
Configure a Microsoft Access data
source named Xtreme Sample Database on your web application server. For
example, on an Apache Tomcat web application server, add the following
environment entries to the web application deployment descriptor file
(/WEB-INF/web.xml):
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name> jdbc/Xtreme Sample Database</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
<env-entry-value> !sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver!jdbc:odbc:Xtreme Sample Database</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>
Note: The JDBC-ODBC bridge driver is
installed automatically with the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition (J2SE),
therefore, no special installation steps are required. However, note that Sun
recommends that this bridge driver be used only for prototyping efforts.
