.JRXML and Subversion

[tonydb]

Hi there,

Does anyone have an approach to booking created reports (.JRXML, .jasper and associated images) into SVN (subversion) and then creating a dev, qa and production release of this?

Especially when dealing with things such avoiding broken reports for one which is now in production, but is changed on dev because of table changes etc.

Thanks

The best solution is to create separate repositories for DEV, TEST and PROD. 

It's strongly recommended that you check them out to build separate directories, but this can cause headaches when trying to reference external objects like images and subreports because paths will no longer match the report source. 

To overcome this you would need completely separate environments for development, test and production work.
