2004-12-08 21:41

hi Giulio Toffoli,

Im new to iReport and JasperReport. i would like to know how much time iReport takes to compile a Report with One text field say "Hello" because im working on Linux (Red Hat) and i have downloaded the source of iReport ,copyed Tools.jar into lib folder of iReport and compiled iReport (using Ant).

when im trying to compile a Report with one text field (Static field).im geting a message saying that

Compiling to file... /home/Desktop/reports/jasper/iReportCompiler/testinggg.jasper -> /home/Desktop/reports/jasper/iReportCompiler/testinggg.java

and active thread is showing Compling message .

thats it .i waited for 2hrs but know use.

This takes 1 or 2 seconds. Are you sure you are using the right tools.jar? I seen that I you start iReport with java 1.5 and you have tools.jar of java 1.4, iReport stops.

I saw the exact same symptoms the other day (but I was on XP).

 

Turns out I had a third-party JAR file in my classpath that contained an older version of Xerces.

 

The gory details:

 

Inserting output statements in the iReportCompiler source I discovered that the JasperCompileManager.compileReportToFile() call seemed to hang. But it turns out it was throwing a java.lang.AbstractMethodError: javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.setFeature(Ljava/lang/String;Z)V

 

AbstractMethodError is derived from Error and then Throwable -- which is not the same as Exception.

 

So basically there was an uncaught Throwable occuring which killed the compile thread without cleaning things up.

 

Simple solution was to remove the offending third-party jar and now it works fine.

Try the version from cvs repository: the new IReportCompiler class can say more about problems like this.
