Upgrade to 3.7.2 - Chart Themes Exceptions

[jbuberel]

 Just downloaded v3.7.2. Built via maven. Then built new demo/samples//chartthemes. Installed all new jars. Using previous chart theme (.jrctx) XML file and generated PDF report. The following stack trace resulted (see below). Then, using iReport 3.7.2 created new generic chart theme, and attempted to generate report using new .jrctx file - same exception.

Any ideas?

Hi,

 

This looks like a bug. We have deprecated byte type properties and replaced them with typed enum properties.

We'll look into it. Feel free to log a bug on the trackers.

 

Most likely this will be solved in the next JR 3.7.3 release, to be out in the May timeframe.

Until then, maybe you could use fixes from our SVN head version.

 

Thanks,

Teodor

 Teodor-

Thanks - I went ahead and submitted a new issue to the tracker.

Is there an XML-level workaround - a modification I can manually make to the .jrctx file regarding the 'position' attribute that the exception is reporting - that would allow me to avoid this problem?

I've reviewed the contents of my .jrctx file (the one generated by iReports 3.7.2) but did not find any 'position=' attribute or element (see below).

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><chart-theme>    <chart-settings border-visible="false">        <font/>    </chart-settings>    <title-settings show-title="false">        <font/>    </title-settings>    <subtitle-settings show-title="false">        <font/>    </subtitle-settings>    <legend-settings>        <font/>    </legend-settings>    <plot-settings>        <tick-label-font xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="font"/>        <display-font xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="font"/>    </plot-settings>    <domain-axis-settings>        <label-font xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="font"/>        <tick-label-font xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="font"/>    </domain-axis-settings>    <range-axis-settings>        <label-font xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="font"/>        <tick-label-font xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="font"/>    </range-axis-settings></chart-theme>

A fix for this bug was committed on svn (revision 3755) and will be available with the next JasperReports release.
