If I remember right, Crystal Reports (you are using Reports, not Enterprise?) does have a Java API or some type of web interface API. One solution is to wrap the Crystal Reports API around a servlet or EJB. If servlets are your game, host the servlet wrapper on Tomcat under your favorite flavor of Windows. If you prefer an EJB, the JBoss under Windows is your ticket. It sucks but it gets you where you want to be.
