[Zweli]

Hello, I am new to Jasper Reports and I am not sure where to store my ".jrxml" and ".jasper" files.

In my project, I have stored all my files in the src file folder, including the ".jrxml" and ".jasper" files but i receive an exception.

Can someone please tell/explain what i could be doing wrong and a solution for it, also where to store my files.

thank you

My code snippet is as follows :

 

Code:

 try {             Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");            Connection con =DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;" +                    "instanceName=SQLEXPRESS2008;databaseName=OMA2008_DB;", "sa", "admin2008");             JasperReport jasperReport =                        JasperCompileManager.compileReport("newReport.jrxml");             JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameter, con);             JRViewer viewer = new JRViewer(print);            Container c = getContentPane();            c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());            c.add(viewer);         } catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {            cnfe.printStackTrace();            System.out.println("Error: " + cnfe.toString());         } catch(SQLException sqle) {             System.out.println("Error: " + sqle.toString());             sqle.printStackTrace();         } catch(JRException jre) {             System.out.println("Error: " + jre.toString());            jre.printStackTrace();         } catch (JRRuntimeException e) {             System.out.println("Error: " + e.toString());         }

First, it's hard to find a situation where makes sense to compile a report (jrxml) file in your running application, and it seems your application have no need for this. You should keep the 'jrxml' files as part of your project, but only include the 'jasper' into the classpath, as it is already compiled and ready to use.

As an example, in my project I keep the 'jasper' files into a 'resources' source folder, which will be included in my packaged application, so it can be easily loaded. The snippet below should make it clearer.

So, put the 'jasper' files in your application classpath, and leave the source files (jrxml) out, as they will be useless for your running application.
