Jasper Server and Java 1.8 - Error During Server Startup

[varun.arbatti]

Hello,

 

I ran into this issue while upgrading the version of Java from 7 to 8 on my test environment.

 

Firstly, My deployment environment looks like this -

Jasper Server 5.5 hosted by Apache tomcat 7.0.53 running on CentOS 6.4. with java version 1.8.0.

 

The issue I'm facing currently is that Jasper Server errors out during start up. This is becuase it cannot create two beans - SessionFactory and EmailInputValidator. Because of this, a host of beans fail throwing Spring's bean creation execption.

 

The stack trace that is logged by tomcat -

 

Email Input Validator -

The same set up runs as expected, without any errors, when I switch the version back to Java 1.7. I have not been able to debug the issue on my machine yet.

I wanted to reach out to the community to check if JasperServer has been hosted successfully on a machine running Java 8. If so, can you please share your insights?

 

Any pointers appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

JasperReports Server 5.5 does not support Java 1.8

[varun.arbatti]

Thanks. Is there a plan to support Java 8 in the near future?

[Steve Park]

As of now, we're planning to support Oracle Java 8 in the 6.1 release, which is tentatively due in early Spring.
