I am re-installing jasperserver on a new machine, and, once again, I need to do the fix to the applicationContext.xml file in order to overcome the problem with the jasperserver login on my localhost. I have searched, but cannot find the reference to the fix. Can you tell me again how to find the work-around for this problem. Thanks. I'll try and keep better notes next time. jsmetz

I've installed iReport-2.0.1, and so far, mostly, so good. However, Since I need to tie iReport to JasperServer-2.0.1, I need to load the JasperServer Plug-in. There's the problem. On opening iReport I get a hanging message in the background saying: "Loading Plug-ins" The Plug-ins don't seem to load, and this message doesn't go away until I close iReport. I'm told others are having this problem. Can anybody tell me what's up with this?

Hello. I've installed jasperserver-2.0.1 on a stand alone Tomcat 6.0.14 server; have successfully logged in; created data sources; created and run reports; even connected to our production Oracle database and ran an iReport generated .jrxml against it via jasperserver. My biggest problem now is getting the jasperserver plugin configured in iReport 2.0.1. As it stands now the plugin hangs when I click it, and remains hung until iReport is shut down. By your message, it looks like I may be missing something essential in the config for the plug-in. Can you help with that? It may or may not be related, but I also don't understand what you mean when you say there is now an "Extensible Web Services" module. I don't have a very clear understanding of what web services are in the first place, and don't know how to tell whether mine are functional and working within the context of my JS install. Can you give me some insight on that, or some way to test whether mine is working? Thanks.

The actual message on the hung-up screen is: "Loading plug-ins." The hang-up may be caused by version conflicts. I'll check on that. It is good to know that the plug-in actually works. That's the light at the end of the tunnel that I need. Thanks for your reply.

The JasperServer 2.0.1 user's guide lists several .jar files that must be available in the iReport/lib directory in order to install JS as a plug-in. After some scrounging, I found several of the .jars, and copied them into iReport/lib. The problem is that when I try to install the plug-in from inside iReport, the process hangs. Here is the list of .jars that I have not been able to find: axiom-api-1.0.jar; axiom-impl-1.0.jar; axis2-1.0.jar; castor-1.0-xml.jar; neethi-1.0.1.jar; stax-api-1.0.jar; wstx-asl-2.8.2.jar; xbean-2.1.0.jar. Can anybody tell me if 1.) they are all necessary; and, 2.) where they can be found. Thanks.
