java.lang.NullPointerException with sample reports - jasperreports-server-cp-4.2.1

[jerojasro]

 I've just installed JasperReports Server 4.2.1, and was testing the first sample report (allAccounts.jrxml). I can create the report, associate its datasources, define its query, and save it sucessfully.

But, when trying to view the report, I'm getting the Java error pasted at the end of this post. I've also tried creating a simple report from iReport, using a different datasource (a local MySQL DB). I can preview the report, using the data from the datasource I've defined, without any problem. But, after uploading the report to JasperReports Server, and configuring its datasources, defining the query, and so on, I can't see the report, and I get the exact same error I got with the sample report.

Any hints about this?

I must say that I skipped one part of the tutorial with the first sample report: the document ( JasperReports-Server-CP-User-Guide.pdf ) says: "To upload a report unit to the server, first set up a name in the repository." (section 3.2.1). I could not find how to do that, or even if I had to do that.

Telling JasperReportsServer to "Do not link a Query" makes the reports work as expected.

 

Still baffled about this, though.
