Invalid element 'template'

[mp_we]

Hello,

 

I created a report using iReport2.0.1 using a style template file. It executes in iReport and displays the PDF report.

But when I try to run it in a Servlet (using jasperreports-2.0.1.jar), it throws the following exception:

org.apache.commons.digester.Digester error

SEVERE: Parse Error at line 29 column 11: <Line 29, Column 11>: XML-20148: (Error) Invalid element 'template' in content of 'jasperReport', expected elements '[field, sortField, variable, filterExpression, group, background, title, pageHeader, columnHeader, detail, columnFooter, pageFooter, lastPageFooter, summary, noData]'.

 

Here are the first few lines of the .jrxml.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"  ?>
<!-- Created with iReport - A designer for JasperReports -->
<!DOCTYPE jasperReport PUBLIC "//JasperReports//DTD Report Design//EN" "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jasperreport.dtd">

	<template>"styles.jrtx"</template>

	<field name="FullName" class="java.lang.String">
		<fieldDescription><![CDATA[FullName]]></fieldDescription>
	</field>

 

Any ideas on what could be going on?

Thank you.

Pb with http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jasperreport.dtd

 

It doesn't contain the template element!

 

So the xml parser is unhappy :(

[lucianc]

Could you post the full exception stacktrace?

 

The DTD should be resolved internally to a resource located in the JasperReports jar. However, it's possible that some XML parsers would fail to properly employ the entity resolver. Which XML parser do you use? Could you include a Xerces jar on your classpath and try to compile the report?

 

We're going to update the public DTD so that external tools would always use the latest version.

My full exception, I think using Xerces... checking

This seems to be a Xerces version bundled with a JDK (btw, what JDK are you using?). Could you try including a Xerces jar from Apache on your classpath?
