jrprint files from Jasperreport 3.0.0 and Jasperreport 3.1.0

[chent01]

Hi:

I am new to this forum. I really appreciate if someone can help me on my issue. We have a few servers running different jasperreport verson. Some run Jasperreport 3.0.0 and the rest run Jasperreport 3.1.0. Both 3.1.0 and 3.0.0 JA generate jrprint files at a storge place. Later on, a process uses Jasperreport 3.0.0 JRLoader and JRPdfExporter to read these jrprint files from both 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 versions and export to a pdf file. My question is

Can  3.0.0 version JRLoader and JRPdfExporter read and handle jrprint file generated by Jasperrepor 3.1.0 without pontential issues. Normally a higher version can handle lower version. For my environment, it is other way around for some  specific reason.

I did some test run. It seems working. But I want to make sure.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Between 3.0.0 and 3.1.0, no change has occurred in the structure of generated documents (JasperPrint), except for the addition of generic elements. But you probably don't use generic elements in your reports, so you should be safe.

 

I hope this helps.
