Let me say before I've never programmed in java and never used any of its web j2ee web services.
I'm trying to use jasper reports and im not sure how it suppose to be "installed". Its in a .jar archive which I thought were for java executables. Am I suppose to extract the files out to a common library folder or my application folder or what? I'm wanting to use it on my tomcat server and eventually writing a java class to interface with my php webapp.. (going to use java-php bridge) I'm on linux if it makes any difference. I'm confused... help!
