Hello Team,

 

We have recently upgraded Jasper version from 5.2.0 to 6.2.2, After that Report generation failing with below stack overflow error.

 

java.lang.StackOverflowError

After some research i found below interesting details.

 

We have Two style templates defined in our code one is at platform level and another is project specific.

 

1. --- > PlatformStyles.jrtx

---

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

<!DOCTYPE jasperTemplate PUBLIC "-//JasperReports//DTD Template//EN" "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jaspertemplate.dtd">

<jasperTemplate>

.............

 

<style name="genericTextStyle" vAlign="Middle" fontName="DejaVu Sans" fontSize="11"/>

 

.............

 

</jasperTemplate>

 

---

 

 

2. --- > ProjectStyles.jrtx

---

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>

 

<!DOCTYPE jasperTemplate

  PUBLIC "-//JasperReports//DTD Template//EN"

  "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jaspertemplate.dtd">

     

<jasperTemplate> 

<template><![CDATA[PlatformStyles.jrtx]]></template>

..............

 

<style name="projectTextStyle" style="genericTextStyle" isDefault="true" fontName="SansSerif" fontSize="8"/>

 

.............

 

</jasperTemplate>

---

 

 

Above code (style templates) is working as expected in the previous version of jasper 5.2.0, Same code is causing the above mentioned error while running the report.

 

Finally, i have just removed 'isDefault="true"' from the ProjectStyles.jrtx file, After that reports are generating without any error.

 

Even i tried with latest release of Jasper 6.3.1 , Still facing the same issue!

 

Is this a bug in jasper upgrade OR provided a new way of doing this?

Please help in resolving this issue as early as possible.

 

Many Thanks,

SSR.
