Exception opening expression editor

[juanpzfz]

Hi,

when I click to "expresion editor" button, nothing happens on UI but an exception raises (see below). It also happens to buttons related with edit expressions, for example "Add" button in "Condicional Styles" window. However other buttons like "Foreground" button or "Create.." in pattern field works fine.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

Environment:

- iReport 1.3.1

- jre j2sdk1.4.2_12

- "Windows XP proffesional. Version 2002. Service pack 2"

Hi!

It might be a problem of the Java version ... maybe the format string used in the UI only works with Java 5.0 (aka JRE/JDK 1.5.0)?

 

Mh, I can't find any difference in the documentation of MessageFormat in 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 ...

 

Do you use any {} in text fields, except (cleanly formed) jasper report $P{} or other $X{} statements?

 

Have a try with it,

Sebastian

Hi,

On my reports I use $V{} and $F{}. But I've created an empty report just for testing with only one static field and I click on its "Print when expression" button and the same exception raises.

I also tried with jre 1.5.0_11 (see java -version below).

 

PD: My regional setting is Spanish-Spain, does it have any side effect?

 

Thanks for your time.

The problem is the Spanish locale.

 

You should replace the line:

 

LineColumn=Lu00EDnea {0,nu00FAmero,entero}, Columna {1,nu00FAmero,entero}

 

with:

 

LineColumn=Lu00EDnea {0,number,integer}, Columna {1,number,integer}

 

in the file:

 

it/businesslogic/ireport/locale/Ireport_es_ES.properties

Great - I just like translators that manage to change keywords from English into German, Spanish or whatever language :blink:

 

Just heard about a database book translated into German where "Distinct" in SELECT DISTINCT was translated ...

Hi,

your idea works!. Thanks a lot.

To close this thread I will detail how to do that change:

- From iReport menu: "Plugin"-->"Translation status", choose your locale.

- Find linecolumn entry and update the change Giulio told: "Lu00EDnea {0,number,integer}, Columna {1,number,integer}"

- Click save button. And close the Plugin window

- Restart Ireport.

 

Just for curiosity. The new updated Ireport_es_ES.properties will be placed at "documents and settings/[uSER]/.ireport/classes/**/locale"

 

 

I try to update via Ireport_es_ES.properties placed INTO ireport.rar, but it does NOT work, so do not follow this way.

 

Thanks a lot.
