MOVED:Date and number formats apply in iReport locally, but not when report is run from JasperReports serv

[feaganss]

 Hello,

I'm pretty new to Jasper Reports but am very impressed with it thus far - what a great product!  The problem I'm having is with formatting dates and numbers.  I have patterns specified on the Text Fields in the report, and they apply correctly when I preview the report in iReport.  However, when I upload it to Jasper Reports server and run the report, the number and date formats do not apply.  

For example:  I have a series of date fields that are set with Expression Class "java.lang.string" and the pattern is set to "MMM yyyy".  In iReport preview, the date displays correctly as "Mar 2011".  On the Jasper Reports server, the same field, with no changes, displays as "2011-03-01"  I also have numbers set to use "###0" that show "78" in iReport and "78.00" on JR server, and percentages set to "#,##0 %" that show as "34%" in iReport and "0.78" on JR server.  I've attached "Jasper-correct.jpg" and "Jasper-incorrect.jpg" to illustrate the problem.

Do you have any ideas?  I've spent several hours reading through the Ultimate Guides for iReport and JasperReports, and scanning the forums on JasperForge, but have not found a solution yet.

Thank you very much!
