Matt, I have download the iReports source code and tried running a compiled report through command line ,but happening. My Concerns for the product is automatic execution of iReports in a shell script or batch file. iReports.bat report1.jrxml (report1.jasper) -username -password - timestamp -o ouput.pdf I request you to look into this . Because Datavision reports provide this facility like the following datavision.bat -c output.pdf E:\DataVision-Reports\samplereport1.xml Thanks, Unni
