Can't compile old JRXML in code nor read into Studio 7

[caddyfan]

Hi community,

I have a set of old JRXML templates I created for a Java desktop application that are used for PDF export/print.

They were created when JR 1.3 was current and continue to work until now in JR 6.21.3. My main reason to try 7.0.0 are the vulnerabilities in the older version's dependencies.

I tried to compile them with the JR library 7.0 but got a JRException: Unable to load report.

I then tried to read my JRXML into Studio 7, but got an UnrecognizedPropertyException with "isDefault" in the style tag.

Setting the file's properties to a prior JR version did not help.

Did I do something wrong or is there a way to upgrade my templates?

Regards,

Thomas

Hello

You seem to have very old JRXML files that still reference a DTD.  Please correct me if my assumption is wrong.

You need to convert your JRXML files to 7.0 syntax.  You'll need to do that in two steps: first convert them to 6.x syntax (that uses an XSD schema instead of the DTD) using Jaspersoft Studio 6.x, and then convert the 6.x JRXMLs to the 7.0 syntax using Studio 7.0.

Also see the discussion at https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/issues/454

Yes, they were from the 1.3 version.

I'll try that.

Thanks
