Ultimate Guide - Adding an Item to the Main Menu - Information in guide either Wrong/Not complete

Alex42 · May 16, 2017

I have asked a previous question on the board in hopes of getting an answer(still waiting).

In the meantime i have created a fresh instance of the server(new AWS instance) and followed to the letter the guide from here: http://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-ultimate-guide/v630/adding-item-main-menu

below are the contents of the files modified as suggested by the guide. These do not work.The menus appear changed but nothing happens when selecting the new values. It appears that the actions(actionArgs) are not treated or wrong somehow.I was expecting at least the guide to work, pretty dissapointed

soooo, after quite a few lost days, it turns out the guide actually works.My bad on that part. It is however not complete. It does not mention a key piece of information. CLEAR BROWSER CAHCE if you/or any user for that matter wants to see any change to the manu or the actions assignd. CLEAR AFTER EVERY CHANGE. FOR ALL USERS(they really like that!!!!). If you don't, and any user has used the system before the change, unless they clean cache this will not work.
