Simple question from Raw beginner with eclipse/Java and Jasper convert .jasper to .pdf

[dennisk1718]

Hello,

I am just trying to convert a .jasper to a .pdf file.

I get a Null Pointer Exception form the following Non-Parameter code. Is this a Jasper error?

What am I not seeing?????????

Thank you

Code:

String fileName = "<absolute path>.jasper";String outFileName = "<absolute path>.pdf";	@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")HashMap hm = new HashMap();			try{				    JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport( fileName,hm,		    		new JREmptyDataSource() );			  		    			        JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print);    System.out.println("Created File: " + outFileName);}

This would probably be better asked in the JasperReports forum -> http://jasperforge.org/plugins/espforum/browse.php?group_id=102&forumid=103

 

iReports is for the GUI...
