### Specifying the Report Viewer

As a web site designer, you can specify which viewer is used when the report is requested, overriding the default viewer used according to the browser. For example, the following URL forces the Java viewer to be used, even if you are running Internet Explorer or any other web browser:

`http://localhost/mydirectory/account statement.rpt?init=java`

Note: If the user's browser does not support the technology used by the viewer specified, Java in this case, an error will occur or an empty web page will be displayed.

In this URL, INIT is a parameter recognized by the Web Component Server. By setting the INIT parameter equal to Java, you can force the Web Component Server to use the Report Viewer for Java when displaying the report inside a browser. The Web Component Server supports several parameters for controlling how reports are generated and displayed. For more information, see Web Component Server Commands.
