scriptlets in 3.1.1

[stevenell]

can I run a report in iReport nb 3.1.1  that uses a scriptlet?   So far my efforts have resulted in

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:  will not load classes from default package (workordersScriptlet)

 

Also, can I just extend JRAbstractScriptlet and still run the report from within ireport 3.1.1 or do I have to extend IReportScriptlet?

 

thanks

Steve

in case anyone else is having trouble w/ this

i got around this

the book says that iReport will compile the scriptlet in the same directory as the report -- i had trouble with that.  i compiled it myself and put the class file in one of the classpath additions... that is working

JRAbstractScriptlet is an interface so you must implement all it's methods. You can extend JRDefaultScriptlet. I prefer to use one of the two approaches as then you can create a Scriptlet class that you can point all your reports to. It all depends on what your doing with it.
