Hi

I have the same issue. Tried searching a lot about it but didn't find anything. As the guy above told, if I remove some of the text fields, it works fine. If I delete those fields and try adding anyting there, it still gives the same error.

It's really urgent. Can some one please help us out.

Cheers

Prashant

iReport version must match JasperServer version.

Since you're using JasperServer 3.7.0, you should be using iReport 3.7.0

Hi

No, I still didn't get the solution. I even tried installing the same exact version of iReport and Jasper server but still having the same problem.

[itsgauravdas]

I don't Know Why this Error is Comming for Only One or Two of the reports.

Is this a limitation/bug in Jasper Reports....

Any Idea||||

I am facing the same problem again and this time I just created a simple report (i.e. with no subreports). Can someone please help.

Prashant,

I think you'll need to add some more details about what you are encountering and step by step instructions for reproducing it. There are probably other readers like myself that cannot understand what symptoms you're facing, so it's impossible to begin guessing at what the underlying cause it.

Hi Matt,

 

Thanks for looking into it. Well, I will tell you the latest problem I had with the same error message. I am using JasperServer 3.7.0, IReport 3.7.3. I have set my compatibility option in iReports to JasperReport 3.7.0 .

 

Well I created a report and it worked completely fine in iReports. Now I uploaded in the jasper server repository and it get uploaded without any error. Now when I double click on the .JRXML file from the reporsitory, it gives me error

 

Error:

Attachment not present!

 

I have attached a screenshot.

 

Now for the same report in iReport, I tried deleting some text fields or other stuff randomly and it worked after I deleted some of the fields.

 

Please let me know if you need any further details.

 

Thanks

Prashant

Ahh... I see what's going on now. I just had this problem recently myself.

The problem is with how web service attachments are handled. By default they get saved into .../webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/attachments

It's common enough that the user running the app server, I'll call him "tomcat", cannot create directories there. So tomcat cannot create the folder "attachments" and you cannot upload things. Or the directory could exist but tomcat doesn't have write access to it.

But what does it work for some reports and not others? That's because axis has a hard-coded limit of 16Kb that defines what "large" is. If the report being uploaded is smaller than 16Kb then it handles things without writing to the file system. Life is good. But if the report is large then axis needs to write the file to the attachments directory. If tomcat cannot do this, then you get this error.

Solutions:

1. The quickest workaround is to upload the file using the web UI instead of using the JasperServer plugin in iReport. This is bad long term... but it's a good quick fix.
2. Modify .../webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd. Find this line and set the value to somewhere that tomcat does have access to write to:
   <parameter name="attachments.Directory" value="attachments"/>
3. My favorite: modify the permissions on the attachments directory.

Please let me know if that solves things for you.

Regards,
Matt

Thanks a lot Matt. It worked absolutely fine.

Thanks Matt,

We had the same problem and we just added attachment folder in .../webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/ and updated permission for tomcat.

That work well !
