Bad envelope tag error when updating document in Repository via iReport

Issue:

Sometimes when modifying JS Repository resource (e.g. report jrxml), and trying to replace existing resource with the updated one, you may run into following exception:

When we do that we are getting a

org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad Envelope tag: html error.

Cause:

The issue is most likely due to a defect that we have fxed in our latest JasperReports Server (4.5). JasperReports Server 4.2 has a servlet filter (UploadMultipartFilter) in web.xml that consumes multipart requests, which disrupts Axis (the web service library that is used by iReports). This causes the error.

Resolution:

To fix this you can either upgrade to our v4.5.1 release or do the following modifications to your configuration files: Located in <jasperserver[-pro]>/WEB-INF/web.xml and comment out the following lines:

<!--
<filter>
    <filter-name>multiPartHelperFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>
        com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.war.common.UploadMultipartFilter
    </filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>multiPartHelperFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
-->

(so adding the "{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}" before and after the Filter and filter-mapping tags)

And then edit WEB-INF/applicationContext-security-web.xml by adding the filter to the chain that maps:

... /**=httpSessionContextIntegrationFilter
        ,uploadMultipartFilter
        ,${bean.loggingFilter}
        ,${bean.userPreferencesFilter}
        ,${bean.authenticationProcessingFilter}
        ,${bean.userPreferencesFilter}
        ,${bean.basicProcessingFilter}
        ,requestParameterAuthenticationFilter
        ,JIAuthenticationSynchronizer
        ,anonymousProcessingFilter
        ,exceptionTranslationFilter
        ,filterInvocationInterceptor
        ,switchUserProcessingFilter
        ,iPadSupportFilter ...

<bean class="com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.war.common.UploadMultipartFilter" id="uploadMultipartFilter" />

(so you just need to add "uploadMultipartFilter" at the second position of the filter chains for URI /** (normally the last one in the bean filterChainProxy) and to reference that new filter by adding the bean with id uploadMultipartFilter below the bean filterChainProxy.
