Groovy syntax failing in JasperServer CE

[rwolverton]

We have installed the JasperServer CE for testing without the bundled iReport because we have an extensive library of existing reports.

After connecting our existing iReport installation to the JasperServer Repository and are able to upload and run most reports successfully with the exception of the reports that use the Groovy syntax. My guess is that JasperServer is not finding the Groovy-all-1.5.5.jar that exists in the scripts/lib directory.

Is there a configuration parameter that needs to be set or specific location for the Groovy jar? 

All help is appreciated.

Are you sure that it's a Groovy report?  Or is it a Java report that uses Java 5 expressions?

If the latter, see http://jasperforge.org/uploads/publish/jasperreportswebsite/trunk/faq.html#FAQ23.  In JasperServer, the file to edit is WEB-INF/classes/jasperreports.properties.
