Error compiling report java source file

2005-01-05 16:41

Hi,

 

I am trying to compile my first report as a standalone class through Eclipse 3.0 using JDK 1.5 and each time I get the following error message:-

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Error compiling report java source file : C:projectsupupaFirst.java

 

The main method contains the following code:-

 

JasperDesign jd = JRXmlLoader.load("first.xml");

JasperReport jr = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jd);

.... Error triggered here .....

Map parameters = new HashMap();

 

The xml file definition I'm using is an empty definition:-

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

<!DOCTYPE jasperReport PUBLIC "-//JasperReports//DTD Report Design//EN" "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jasperreport.dtd">

 

<jasperReport name="First" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="842" columnWidth="555" leftMargin="20" rightMargin="20" topMargin="30" bottomMargin="30">

<detail>

</detail>

</jasperReport>

 

However I also tried to compile the sample files that are on the project's website and they still returned the same error.

 

Any help will be highly appreciated.

 

Mike

first try JDK 1.4+

though I am not using the same as you here is mine that works

<taskdef name="jasperreportcompile" classname="net.sf.jasperreports.ant.JRAntCompileTask">

<classpath>

<fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes ="jasperreports0.6.0_fat.jar"/>

<!--pathelement location="${jasper.root.dir}/lib/jasperreports-0.5.0.jar"/-->

</classpath>

</taskdef>

 

 

<target name="jasperreport" depends="init">

<jasperreportcompile destdir="${build.dir}/classes/jasperreports">

<classpath>

<fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes ="jasperreports0.6.0_fat.jar"/>

<fileset dir="${build.dir}/classes/jasper" includes ="invoice.xml"/>

</classpath>

<src path="${build.dir}/classes/jasper"/>

<exclude name="${build.dir}/classes/jasper/*.*.bak"/>

</jasperreportcompile>

 

</target>

Thanks BJ for your help I managed to successfully compile the reports using the ant task still using JDK 1.5.

 

I was then able to view my report through a simple method calling the fillReport and viewReport.

 

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport("./first.jasper", parameters, c);

JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint);
