Cannot upgrade to newer version of JasperReports

[genalgo]

I am attempting to upgrade an application from jasperreports v. 0.6.5 to v. 3.5.3 or v. 3.6.0. 
This is a J2EE application being served in on Tomcat 5.5.23 container running on linux. The application .war file is compiled using Maven.

Here is what I have tried so far:

• Recompiled all .jrxml files on a Windows XP machine that has used previous versions of jasperreports (1.2.1 to 3.6.0) using iReport.
• Recompiled all .jrxml files on a Linux machine that has never used previous versions of jasperreports using iReport.
• Cleared out the contents of the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapp directory.

With my many attempts, the reports will not run inside the application, and the following error is produced in the log file:
...

Is there anything else that I can try?

Hi,

 

The error indicates that you are using JR 0.6.5 to run a report template compiled with JR newer than 1.2.0 (the version when we freezed the serialVersionUID).

Check again the classpath of your application and the classpath of Tomcat.

 

I hope this helps.

I have jasperreports-3.6.0.jar in the application classpath so it should be running 3.6.0 and jasperreports-0.6.5.jar exists nowhere on the server.  I have attempted to run my application on another server as well that has never had jasperreports-0.6.5.jar loaded on it.
