Setting up the development environment

If you are developing against the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform SDK, the Report Application Server SDK, or incorporating report viewing into your application using the Crystal Report viewers, there are many components to install and configure. Your web.xml file must be configured to take advantage of SDK settings, specific JAR files must be deployed with your web application to utilize the SDKs, and certain prerequisite software must be installed.
You must be familiar with the basics of developing and deploying Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE) web components.
