1) if i use ResourceBundle for my main report and ResourceTable for my subreport i get the following error "java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name ResourceTable, locale en_US". I guess the JasperServer expects to find the ResourceTable of the subreport in the same folder as the main report. 2) I could put the labels of the subreport in the Resourcebundle of the main report, but that would be kinda stupid because everytime I would use the subreport in some other report i would have to write the labels over and over again. 3) i don't know exactly what you mean, when i look at the resourcebundle= statement there is only ResourceBundle (without .properties), what should the path be, keep in mind that i'm working on a JasperServer, should I start at the Root? I've tried a few possibilities but none seem to work. Thanks for trying to help. Kind regards, Erwin
