Reports not working with new versions

sneatherlin · July 20, 2006

I am new to Java and to JasperReports/iReports.

I downloaded JasperReports 1.2.4 and iReports 1.2.3.

I am trying to run my report from within a Java Servlet.

I am connecting to as/400.

Using iReports version 1.2.3 I am able to create jasper file, place into directory used to hold my jasper files on my local machine.

When I send in my resultSet to the JasperRunManager.runReportToPdf method I get my pdf with data.

Using iReports 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 I create the same report place into directory as above.

Again using same code in Java Servlet when I pass in my resultset I get back a blank page.

Again I am new to both technologies so may have missed something but would greatly appreciate any help.

Did a test this morning taking a .jrxml file and loading it into iReports ver 1.2.3 compiling, took the jasper file created and placed in my webapps report directory and ran. Report showed as expected.

Took the same .jrxml file loaded into iReports ver 1.2.5 and compiled. Noticed jasper file was slightly bigger. I took the jasper file and placed into my webapps report directory replacing the 1.2.3 compiled version. Report brings up empty page only. I can switch out the jasper files 1.2.3 will work as expected 1.2.5 continues to show empty page.

If anybody can point me to relevant documentation I would be most greatful plus for any help given. I can't understand why one would work and the other one wouldn't. Could it be I don't have all the needed Jar files in the ClassPath?

Respectfully,

Do you see any exception?

Perhaps a new needed jar is missing...

Can you post here your jrxml?

Are you able to run the jrxml on iReport 1.2.5?

Thank you for your response.

I am getting no exceptions.

Here is the jrxml that is in my templates file for ver 1.2.3.

I feel, like I think you do, that it is a missing jar file that is needed for newer version.

I can't find any documentation regarding what files are needed and hate to shotgun it by placing all the jar files that reside in the lib file for iReports into my webapp lib file.

Yes iReports for both versions create an identical pdf document.

Thank you again for your response and hope to hear from you soon.

cheers,

Sam
