topPen inside of <box>

[kcronin]

I should probably add this thread since I have been just going in and deleting these, but I am sure there is some purpose to them.

This is the error:
Invalid element 'topPen' in content of 'box', expected closing tag.

Here is the chunk in question which has been auto-generated by iReport:
<box>     <topPen lineWidth="0.0" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#000000"/>
     <leftPen lineWidth="0.0" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#000000"/>
     <bottomPen lineWidth="0.0" lineColor="#000000"/>
     <rightPen lineWidth="0.0" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#000000"/>
</box>


I guess I am curious why this would throw an error.  If I have to fix this manually until there is a fix for this, I am more than willing to do that, but I do find it odd that I am one of the slim few that runs into this error.

I guess I am also curious as to why this chunk is auto-generated by iReport if it just throws an error?

I have tried putting a space in between where it has the line color and the closing tag, but that does not work.  I have also tried splitting up the tag by doing this:
<topPen lineWidth="0.0" lineStyle="Solid" lineColor="#000000"></topPen>

That seems to have no effect either.

EDIT: What is topPen even used for?  Everytime I make a report, I could do nothing, and have a bunch of these in there.  I also double checked my version of jasperreports and I am using 3.0.1

I ended up figuring this out and I might as well post what happened for future reference.

This happened because my version of iReport was using a higher version of the jasperreports jar file than my java code was.

Updating that jar fixed that problem.
