Problem run jasper on iseries (as/400)

2004-12-10 09:42

Please, can anybody help.

I try to run jasper 0.6.1 on jre 1.4.2 on OS/400 V5R2.

Headless set properly (thanks to this forum!):

-Djava.awt.headless=true

 

I get the following error:

 

java.awt.AWTError: PrinterJob not found: com.ibm.rawt2.ahost.java.awt.print.AHPrinterJob

Are you printing on OS/400 or in a applet of the browser machine?

It looks like print service is not available.

AS 400 has not a frame buffer (there is not a graphics interface), and AWT is not available.

 

if you use java 1.4 or greater you can enable the java system property java.headless.

 

I don't know if exists a virtual frame buffer for As 400 to "simulate" an X enviroment (this is the solution for jdk < 1.4).

AS/400 does not have graphics hardware - yes, but, according to ibm docs, do have some kind of AWT. Please, see IBM docs page "AWT headless mode compatibility" - link below. Unfortunately, ibm information is very concise plus i am not very well with java (well with OS/400, though). As I mentioned in original post, i set headless=true (enabled?)

Thanks a lot to everyone replying.

I believe making JasperReports smartly running on n+1 platform - iseries will be usefull to community.
