JDBC SQLite Datasource in JasperReports Server Problem

[ralphskie]

Hello been exploring the JasperReports for a day now and its a great reporting tool.

Ive succesfully installed the JRServer and JR Studio, been testing the MySQL database with JDBC Driver with good results both on JRServer & JR Studio.

But now i want to test a datasource for SQLite, Downloaded a JDBC Driver here (https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc) and installed it on tomcat/lib.

The problem is after testing the JRServer prompts a "Cannot get a connection, pool error" - please see attached image

Do you have any idea what this error is about?or suggestion for a good/working JDBC Driver for SQLite

 

ps : I've tested this driver on JR Studio and it works well,did generate a report but once transfered to JRServer it wont and error still the same.

The problem is not with JasperReports Server but with sqlite and tomcat. Have you checked the following thread at StackOverflow?

Thanks for linking it @hozawa manage to solve it with their answers there.

Anyways will share what i have done so maybe it can help someone here.

1.Need to configure META-INF/context.xml (located on JRSERVER_install_path/apache-tomcat/webapps/jasperserver)

<Resource name="jdbc/Sqlite" 

            auth="Container" 

            type="javax.sql.DataSource" 

            driverClassName="org.sqlite.JDBC"

            url="jdbc:sqlite:/${catalina.home}/dbs/Application.db"

            factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2.BasicDataSourceFactory">

</Resource>

 

name= any name you want

url =  the location of your database file - I copied my on the installation folder but no problems where you want to put it

factory = org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2.BasicDataSourceFactory ----> for tomcat 8,if you have lower version kindly search for it

 

2. Edit WEB-INF/web.xml (located on JRSERVER_install_path/apache-tomcat/webapps/jasperserver)

<resource-ref>

        <description>Reviews Database</description>

        <res-ref-name>jdbc/Sqlite</res-ref-name>

        <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>

        <res-auth>Container</res-auth>

</resource-ref>

 

3. Make a new datasource in JRServer

    Use JNDI Datasource

    Service name = jdbc/Sqlite or whatever you put on step 1 NAME

 

Test it,Thats all http://community.jaspersoft.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.gif
