Here is the code to compile and print out the report.

 

public void createReport(String key, String path, File[] file, String query) throws Exception{

// Load all the reports

JasperReport[] report = new JasperReport[file.length];

JasperDesign[] design = new JasperDesign[file.length];

Map parameters = new HashMap();

design[0] = JRXmlLoader.load(getClass().getResource(file[0].toString()).openStream());

 

for (int i=1; i < file.length; i++){

//report = (JasperReport) JRLoader.loadObject(getClass().getResource(file.toString()).getFile());

//design = JRXmlLoader.load(getClass().getResource(file.toString()).openStream());

report = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(getClass().getResource(file.toString()).openStream());

System.out.println(file.toString()+": Compiled OK");

}

 

// Set the custom query for the report if need be

if (!query.equalsIgnoreCase("")){

JRDesignQuery designQuery = new JRDesignQuery();

designQuery.setText(query);

design[0].setQuery(designQuery);

}

 

// Compile the report and export it to the path that the user selected

report[0] = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(design[0]);

System.out.println(file[0].toString()+": Compiled OK");

parameters.put(key, "PDF JasperReport");

JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report[0], parameters, conn);

OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(new File(path));

JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(print, output);

output.close();

 

}

the issue seems to be this part right here:

 

<parameter name="SUBREPORT_DIR" isForPrompting="true" class="java.lang.String">

<defaultValueExpression ><![CDATA[".\"]]></defaultValueExpression>

</parameter>

 

it's looking outside the .jar file for the .jasper files. is there a way i can set that so that it's looking inside the .jar file?
