iReport/Java issue

2004-07-24 13:12

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a pdf file using Java. However, I keep getting this error:

 

Error loading object from File

 

I believe that it is complaining about my subReport that I have embedded in the main report, but I never had this problem when testing in iReports.

 

Do I have to specify the subreport within the Java code, or is there a property that I have to tweek in iReports?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Sorry about the lack of information on my problem, here's the java code for the strut action...

 

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

 

conMan = DBConnectionManager.getInstance();

dbConn = conMan.getConnection("poolname");

 

Map parameters = new HashMap();

parameters.put("CompanyID", CompanyID);

 

JasperPrint jrPrint = JasperManager.fillReport("/www/tomcat41/webapps/cst1833/richmondProject/reports/" + report, parameters, dbConn);

printReport");

JasperManager.printReportToPdfFile(jrPrint, "/www/tomcat41/webapps/cst1833/richmondProject/Bordereau.pdf");

 

request.setAttribute("message", "Report created");

nextPage = mapping.findForward("success");

 

The main report takes a parameter from java (companyID) and the sub report that I have in the main report takes a parameter from the main report. As far as I can tell, the error is happening on trying to load the sub report.

 

btw, I'm running this off of a Lunix box.

 

Thanks for any help.

First of all, I'll recomend u to have a action dispatcher for printing reports... I mean, look at new JasperReports 0.6 and think about changing 50+ actions to the new package names or just an actionDispatcher for it... ;)

 

Second, at that servlet (dispatcher) I've something like this:

 

private static boolean print(JasperPrint jasperPrint, HttpServletResponse response, String fileName) {

ByteArrayOutputStream baos=new ByteArrayOutputStream();

ServletOutputStream out=null;

 

JasperPrintManager myJPM = new JasperPrintManager();

 

try {

myJPM.printReportToPdfStream(jasperPrint,baos);

 

response.reset();

 

response.setContentType("application/pdf");

response.setContentLength(baos.size());

response.setHeader("Content-disposition","inline; filename=listado.pdf" );

 

if (fileName!=null) {

response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename="+fileName);

}

 

out=response.getOutputStream();

baos.writeTo(out);

out.flush();

baos.close();

} catch (Exception e) {

try {baos.close();} catch (IOException ex) {;}

return false;

}

return true;

}

 

And then, each "dispatch" has something like this:

 

public ActionForward reportprint1 (

ActionMapping mapping,

ActionForm form,

HttpServletRequest request,

HttpServletResponse response)

throws Exception {

 

String embarque=request.getParameter("embarque");

 

if (embarque==null||embarque.equals("")) throw new es.sgv.exceptions.ImprimirException("indicacionesS4Embarque: Falta parametro de impresion");

embarque=embarque.toUpperCase();

 

Connection trans= singleTonPool.getConnection();

 

DSFactory temp=new DSFactory();

 

JRRewindableDataSource ds=temp.getDs1(trans,embarque);

JRRewindableDataSource ds1=temp.getDs2(trans,embarque);

JRRewindableDataSource ds2=temp.getDs3(trans,embarque);

if (!ds.next()) return mapping.findForward(noData);

ds.moveFirst();

 

String sub1=getServlet().getServletContext().getRealPath("/jasper/subreport1.jasper");

String sub2=getServlet().getServletContext().getRealPath("/jasper/subreport2.jasper");

 

 

Map parameters = new HashMap();

parameters.put("subreport1",sub1);

parameters.put("subreport2",sub2);

parameters.put("subreport1ds",ds1);

parameters.put("subreport2ds",ds2);

 

 

JasperPrint jasperPrint=JasperManager.fillReport(getServlet().getServletContext().getRealPath("/jasper/report.jasper"),parameters,ds);

 

boolean result=imprimir(jasperPrint,response,null); //no filename

 

//If any error, throw a mapped (struts-config) exception

if (!result) throw new es.sgv.exceptions.ImprimirException("Report Error: Printing Error");

 

return null;

} //action end

Wh000ps!

 

boolean result=imprimir(jasperPrint,response,null); //no filename

 

should be

 

boolean result=print(jasperPrint,response,null); //no filename

 

(A mistake when translating my servlet ;) )
