JasperServer can not see resources under /report1_files/ from within other reports?

[tonyy]

If you upload jrxml report from JasperSoft Studio to JasperServers then majority of resources will be located under hidden folder  /report1_files/ - something like this.

Is it possible to reuse these file resources(give reference to them) in another report via rest? Whenever I specify the path to these hidden resources it say "invalid uri" , in documentation it says that this prefix denotes it is hidden resources so whenever I specify this directory as reference in other reports - JasperServer cannot find them?

So workflow is like this:

1. Create JRXML in JasperStudio

2. Upload it via plugin to JasperServer with "report1" name.

3. Create another report named "report2" in JasperServer(REST or GUI does not matter).

4. Point report2(REST PUT report2) to the hidden resources(via references to /report1_files/) of the report1 - here we get invalid uri, HOWEVER if we ovewrite existing report1 with itself, then it magically recognises resources under this directory.

 

PLEASE HELP.
