Hello there, I'm going to guess that your company purchased a subscription for JasperServer Pro. This comes with a commercial license, support, and other good stuff. The problem you're encountering is that the company did not opt to get a license for JasperAnalysis Pro (the ROLAP/analysis component). That's why you get the "Product Feature is not licensed" message every time you click an analysis view. With a JA Pro license, the analysis views would appear in your browser and your data access/analysis would be handled by the JA relational olap server. My suggestion is to share this post with your admin. I'm certain Jaspersoft sales would be happy to provide a quote for JasperAnalysis. :) Mary

Most likely you have fields or layout objects overlapping each other. The JR report viewer (written in Java) and PDF can display overlapping layout objects fine, but HTML tables cannot. (If you're super interested in the HTML limitations and options, you can check out http://www.jaspersoft.com/jaspersoft_app17.html.) The way I like to handle this is to use the Report Inspector panel in iReport to select each object and note its properties. If you already know you have an object overlapping another (for example, a rectangle box), you can replace the box with a frame and apply your styles to the frame. The frame is not a graphic object; it's more like a container. You put all your layout items inside the frame and the layout items inherit whatever styles you apply to the frame. HTH, Mary

Hi there, I ran into the same issue quite unexpectedly during a live demo. Dragging and dropping, resizing, and even selecting items took 5 to 15 seconds to complete. An internet search for NetBeans and performance resulted in my fix. I added the following as an environment variable. The -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false option turns off DirectDraw. The rest manage memory. I got this tip from http://performance.netbeans.org/howto/jvmswitches/index.html. I'm running iReport for NetBeans 3.1.2 on Windows. I hope it works for you on 2.0.5. JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=32m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xss2m -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Xverify:none Mary Code: Post Edited by Mary Flynn at 12/17/08 18:31 Post Edited by Mary Flynn at 12/17/08 21:15

I had a similar problem a while back. I think I had to add the "barbecue" (and possibly the "ireport") jar from the iReportlib folder to the target application's classpath (e.g., your java app's lib folder). Mary

It's really hard to make a guess at what might be happening based on the description. I'm going to make a guess anyway. It's possible that your desktop computer (which is running iReport) is resolving the fonts in your crosstab differently than the server (which is running JasperServer). You can upload font resources to JasperServer if that's the issue, or change the font definition/styles used in the report to use something that's common to both systems. Screen shots or a more detailed description of the deformation would also help. Good luck. Mary

I am not an expert in this area, but I can point you to where you need to look. You need to configure Acegi (aka Spring Security), specifically the Voter Logic. Do a search for "acegi voter" or "accessdecisionmanager" to get started. I have used this article in the past to help me set up LDAP. There's a brief section on voter logic: Configuring the access decision manager The accessDecisionManager decides whether a user is allowed to access a resource. Acegi provides a number of access decision managers, which vary in how they make access control decisions. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-acegi2/ HTH Mary

Hi sandyclawz, Try this: Open your report in iReport. Under Report Properties, select "Ignore Pagination". Save the file to JasperServer. The next time you run the report, everything will be on one page. Note the "Ignore Pagination" setting applies to all export formats, including HTML. Good luck, Mary

I was able to reproduce the problem but do not have an explanation for you. I submitted a bug using the Tracker feature: 3218 Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence Mary

JasperServer Pro includes repository scripts/support for commercial databases such as Oracle. Mary

Hopefully this will work for you. All I did was: (1) Login as admin. Assign "read only" privileges to ROLE_ANONYMOUS to the appropriate files/folders. (2) Edit applicationContent-security.xml: Add following line to <bean id="filterInvocationInterceptor" class="org.acegisecurity.intercept.web.FilterSecurityInterceptor"> section: /fileview/personalfolders/demo/**=ROLE_ANONYMOUS (3) Restart JasperServer. (4) Try the url. In my case, it was: http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro/fileview/fileview/PersonalFolders/demo/SugarOpportunities.pdf. Good luck! Mary

Hello there, This response is about a year late, but it was pointed out as an issue recently, so I'm responding. JasperServer allows you to schedule and save reports to the secure repository. When you save the file, you have the following options: Sequential File Names Timestamp PatternCheck Sequential File Names and you will save a snapshot of your report at that moment in time. The default timestamp is yyyymmddhh. In the screen shot below, I added seconds. So, the scheduling feature gives you historical versioning of the report output. This can be useful when you need to audit report data for a specific date/time. Mary

In iReport, view the properties for your static text box. On the "common" tab, select "Relative to tallest object" under the "Stretch Type" drop-down box. That should do it for you. Mary

Just wanted to let everyone know that JasperSoft is hosting a webinar on May 1 specifically for developers. Though it is not training or tech support, it's also not a marketing/sales pitch. The idea is to show what we've done and hopefully inspire/connect with others. Matt Dahlman and I will show how parameters are used in the SuperMart demo that ships with JasperServer Pro. May 1, 2008 Developer Webinar-The Power of the Parameter This webinar will focus on how parameters are used in hyperlinks, queries, subreports, localized messages, tooltips, conditional objects, and dashboards in the out-of-the-box SuperMart demo. You'll see parameters being implemented as user input controls (prompts) and also being passed programmatically. We will also include a sneak-peak of JasperServer Professional 3.0. If you're interested you can register at http://www.jaspersoft.com/nw_events.html .

Could you include the expression you used to reference the gif?

I read some earlier posts from Teodor and Giulio to get this for you: Create a new Report Group. size=312]http://www.jasperforge.org/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/images/resetPageGroup.png Select the Reset Page Number checkbox. You can leave everything else blank. After you click OK you'll be on the Groups dialog box. Click Move up to make your new group the first group. Create a new variable. You'll use this instead of the built-in PAGE_NUMBER in your footer. [file name=resetPageVariable.png size=16062] Variable Class Type: java.lang.Integer Calculation Type: Count Reset Type: Group Reset Group: the group you created in step 1 Increment Type: Page Variable expression: new Integer(1) [/ul] Edit the expressions used to show Page x of x. Replace $V{PAGE_NUMBER} with the variable you just created. [/ol][/ol] Should work -- good luck. Mary Post edited by: mmflynn, at: 2008/04/30 18:54

Hi there, I just replied to your previous post. I'm going to assume that because the errors are inconsistent, that you're dealing with different problems. Try this: download the JasperReports library. (This is just to obtain a tested sample file.) When you've downloaded JR, create a datasource in iReport using the "northwind.xml" file that is located in jasperreports-x.x.xdemosamplesxmldatasource. Then post any messages that appear in the iReport console. HTH, Mary

Mbonner, I started to take a look at your file and found a problem straight away. I'll let you track this down, and if you still have a problem I'm happy to look at it later. When I opened your attachment in the web browser, I got this error: XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity Location: http://community.jaspersoft.com/sites/default/files/questions/sample_3.xml Line Number 3, Column 1: ^ When I opened the file in WordPad, I saw this: Code: I'd start by making sure the XML file structure is correct. The error message implies that the very first line needs the XML declaration on the first line. My guess is that you should probably switch lines 1 and 3. I don't know much about XML, but I'm sure you could find something on the web to help you out. Let me know how it goes. Mary

Samed, Your explanation seems like everything should be ok. There might be a typo or other little error somewhere. Can you provide screen shots or the JRXML file? Are you running in the default environment (Tomcat app server, MySQL database)? Anything else different about your setup? Mary

Yup. The underlying architecture is the same. The screen shots might have small differences here and there and the URLs in the examples might be different, e.g., instead of http://server:8080/jasperserver-pro/whatever, you'll use http://server:8080/jasperserver/whatever. Mary

Umair, What you'll want to do is first make sure that nothing is overlapping. For example, if you have a rectangle behind a field, you'll need to remove it. Use the item properties and make note of the Top, Left, Height, and Width values for each item. You may find that you're overlapping items by a pixel here and there. To get the color background you want in HTML, set the background color for each field individually. (This makes sense if you know how HTML works, but may be counter-intuitive if you're used to creating layers in graphics programs.) Specifically, select the field, right-click to get Properties. Click the [...] box to open the color palette and choose a color. De-select the Transparent checkbox. The tedious part is making sure you find all the items. The Document Structure pane helps me with that. Good luck! Mary

I'm going to guess that you have objects that either touch or overlap each other. I had a similar problem a while back -- the report looked perfect in the Java viewer and PDF. But HTML doesn't like objects sharing the same space. Eye-balling it can be tedious and is pretty error-prone. This is what I would do. (Sorry that I don't know a better shortcut.) Open your report in iReport. Go to View > Docking Panes and make sure Document Structure is checked. One-by-one, go through each element in the Document Structure. As you click on an item, it will be selected in the iReport view/screen. If the object's handles are blue/purple, it's fine. If the object's handles are green, then it's touching or overlapping an other object. You can reposition it: - with your mouse - with the arrow keys on your keyboard - by typing new values in the object's Properties Good luck. Mary

Cool! Welcome, and thanks for the post. Mary
