Using my utils class into a report

[bryan.garro]

I have a jasper project that I compile in a .jar to be use in a main project. Everything works just fine until I want to use the preview option, and it throws me this error:

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRExpressionEvalException: Error evaluating expression for source text:  Utils.modifyHtmlForJasper($F{line_alternative_short_description})    at com.jaspersoft.studio.editor.preview.view.control.ReportController.fillReport(ReportController.java:553)    at com.jaspersoft.studio.editor.preview.view.control.ReportController$1.run(ReportController.java:446)    at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:63)Caused by: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRExpressionEvalException: Error evaluating expression for source text: Utils.modifyHtmlForJasper($F{line_alternative_short_description})    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JREvaluator.handleEvaluationException(JREvaluator.java:294)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JREvaluator.evaluate(JREvaluator.java:328)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRCalculator.evaluate(JRCalculator.java:673)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRCalculator.evaluate(JRCalculator.java:641)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillElement.evaluateExpression(JRFillElement.java:1247)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillTextField.evaluateText(JRFillTextField.java:555)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillTextField.evaluate(JRFillTextField.java:540)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillElementContainer.evaluate(JRFillElementContainer.java:383)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillBand.evaluate(JRFillBand.java:548)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillColumnBand(JRVerticalFiller.java:2614)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillDetail(JRVerticalFiller.java:837)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillReportStart(JRVerticalFiller.java:276)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillReport(JRVerticalFiller.java:119)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRBaseFiller.fill(JRBaseFiller.java:623)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.BaseFillHandle$ReportFill.run(BaseFillHandle.java:135)    at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)Caused by: java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:     Whitelist cannot be resolved to a type    Whitelist cannot be resolved    Jsoup cannot be resolved    at Utils.modifyHtmlForJasper(Utils.java:122)    at TravelDetail_1684445308128_220990.evaluate(TravelDetail_1684445308128_220990:303)    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JREvaluator.evaluate(JREvaluator.java:313)    ... 14 more[/code]

This is the class Utils:

I tried by adding the jar for jsoup into the classpath

Hello Bryan,

Looking at the error, it seems that you are mising some dependencies in the project classpaths. Can you check that you have added all needed jars? 

    Whitelist cannot be resolved to a type    Whitelist cannot be resolved    Jsoup cannot be resolved
