Report generation from URL in 4.7

[davidbhybrid]

I have upgraded my version of Jasperserver 4.2.1 CE to 4.7 CE. I was able to export all of my data from 4.2.1 and import it into 4.7.

I can generate my reports using the Jasperserver Web interface, but can no longer generate my reports using a URL. I was able to do this using 4.2.1.

I have the following URL, which works and displays a report when ran in 4.2.1, but does NOT when using 4.7

http://localhost:7080/jasperserver/flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&standAlone=true&_flowId=viewReportFlow&ParentFolderUri=%2Freports&reportUnit=%2Freports%2Fshippingreport&j_username=username&j_password=password@r3&start_date=20120101000000&end_date=20121231000000&output=pdf

Any idea why this would work in 4.2.1 and not 4.7?

Thanks in advance!

What actually happens? Do you get any errors in the logs or in a browser when you put your URL in the browser? And just to confirm, the port is correct as well as the folder and report uri for your 4.7 installation?

I am not seeing any errors within the logs; i am presented with a blank screen in my browser when this happens. The port, folder and report uri are correct. I can run the reports from iReport.

After some further research (I am not sure if this is exactly true or not), but if I run a report that does NOT pass a date as a parameter, the report will generate successfully. If I have a parameter, which is a date in my URL, the report will not generate and I am presented with a blank screen.
