[toc on_off::hide=1]

When creating report with Map Pro component and configuring Europe map, you may find out that while report works fine in iReport Designer, after uploading to JasperReports Server the error below pops up when trying to run the report

com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.JSExceptionWrapper: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:

1. com.jaspersoft.ireport.components.fusion.maps cannot be resolved to a type value = (java.lang.String)(com.jaspersoft.ireport.components.fusion.maps.EntityCodes(((java.lang.String)field_country.getValue()))); //$JR_EXPR_ID=13$

<------------------------------------------->

3 errors

Resolution:

In iReport Designer, Maps Pro includes a sample helper class called EntityCodes in com.jaspersoft.ireport.components.fusion.maps. It converts the name of a European country to the corresponding entity ID in the map of Europe. The problem is that this class was created for iReport Designer, and it's not included in JasperReports Server.

The class is located in com-jaspersoft-ireport-components-fusion.jar under /ireportpro/modules folder. To solve the issue copy this jar into /WEB-INF/lib folder and restart the server.
