Hi vidula kulkarni ,
First of all to access and display the Crystal Reports in Web format(I mean HTML Content type) , you need the Report Application Server should be running separater(Either it may in tomcat machine or it may in different machi as well.).
Then you need to maintain the Report Physical path in RAS(Report application Server) .It means that your template CR(Crystal report files should be kept in that directory).
Then as usual you need to copy all the RAS SDK provided during the installation in the Tomcat's root Lib directory.
Then using that RAS API classes you can open the Crystal Reports.(This RAS API will take care of converting the Crystal Data - [CR data]into HTML format).
May be you can refer some of the Posting of mine in the support.crystaldecision.com forum.
Let me know if you need more
regards
ramesh
