Hi,

I have done the ROR and Crystal Reports integration using the Java API.  
Please visit my blog on [http://kkarthik.wordpress.com/](http://kkarthik.wordpress.com/) for the steps. It  
will be helpful.

Thanks,  
Karthik.

This is a poor solution in terms of efficiency and optimisation. You  
have to create a new Java Virtual Machine each time you want to run a  
report. There are better ways to do this using Web Services/RMI/  
JRuby.
