Cannot use iReport Preview-Feature

[martinmurth]

Hi, 

we are planning to employ JasperServer for implementing an enterprise reporting solution. We've therefore already started to create some reports. These reports include subreports, which are referenced either using an absolute or a relative path. If we now, however, upload the report to the JasperServer repository, iReport replaces the path-based references by a repository reference ("repo:..."). While this is a nice feature as the report then also runs from within the repository, it is quite annoying as you can't use iReport's built-in preview feature anymore - as it cannot find the new path. 

Is there any way to get around this? 

It is quite annoying to update and re-generate the report in the repository for every minor report modification :( 

 

Cheers

martin

Hi,

Didn't see a response to this and I'm having the same issue.  Is there a way to get around this issue?
