HI, i am migrating from ant to gradle and having some weird stacktrace when trying to run the compile task: task jaspercompile << { description 'Compiling JasperReports Source Files' def jasperSourceDir = file('src/main/reports/jasper') def runtimeClassPathAndWebappFiles = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath.asPath println runtimeClassPathAndWebappFiles ant { taskdef(name: 'jrc', classname: 'net.sf.jasperreports.ant.JRAntCompileTask', classpath: configurations.jasperreports.asPath) sourceSets.main.output.classesDir.mkdirs() jrc(srcdir: jasperSourceDir, destdir: sourceSets.main.output.classesDir) { classpath(path: runtimeClassPathAndWebappFiles) include(name: '**/*.jrxml') } }} The code above is just the gradle task. The classpath contains all spring jars needed, even the core jars with the Resource.class from Spring. The stack below shows that Jasper wants to load the Spring Extension Factory class (which i could disable - which would be a possible workaround) which in turn seems trying to load the Resource.class from Spring. Of course the same ANT task works in ANT w/o problems. Dont know whats the problem here. Perhaps someone has a pointer. I dont even know why jasper wants to load the Resource.class. I never used a Spring object within my jasper resports. * Exception is:org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':jaspercompile'.at

where do i see possible stack traces? Or can this be a configuration file issue? Perhaps it has problems with my old config file? Marc

i just upgraded from iReport 4.0.2 to 4.1.1 on my Snow Leopard Mac OS X. But the latest version is totally unusable. Some panes have redraw problems, other things wont be displayed at all. The whole GUI is partly destroyed. There is something wrong.... Marc Post Edited by loge at 08/19/2011 12:04

another entry for all those having the same questions. You definitely can add a externally created Jasper Font Extension JAR to the classpath. After restart the Fonts appear as read only in the fonts GUI. It would be nice if the section of the Ultimate Guide would cover some more details about fonts. Its not of much help IMO.

Ohh. i ve seen that i can just define the new fonts via "add font" and then later, its even possible to generate the font extension jar. So it seems not necessary to add the font to the system fonts as outlines in the ultimate guide.

Hi, we are using the font extension mechanism in JasperReports. Thus we created a jar with the TTF fonts embedded and some XML descriptor. So far so good. Is it possible to use this JAR also in iReport so that iReport recognizes the new font? Or do i need to place the TTF font in the iReport classpath as documented in the iReport Ultimate Guide? Would be nice if one could work with the font jar..... Marc

Thanks. I just wanted to do the same with the link but you were faster ;-) Excellent suggestion. We were just on the way to do a very dirty hack with Scriptlets and static variables but i am happy that we could circumvent that.

I followed your suggestion but custom properties at report level dont support expressions as it seems. Its easy to get back a static value which you defined at properties on report level but i need to get a evaluated expression. You can see this also when using iREport. On field properties level, you can check a "expressions" checkbox while on report level, you dont have that. Marc

Hi, is it possible that the caller of a report generation block (where the fillReport and export stuff happens) gets back an evaluated variable inside the report? I need to get back a value which i computed inside a report for further processing inside my application. I hoped i can do something with JasperPrint but have not found a way yet. Thanks Marc

can it be that "exportFonts" attribute is no longer available in SimpleFontFamily in 3.6.2? If not, the example (fonts.xml) should be modified to not include that. Furthermore i have a severe problem with the font jar extension mechanism when trying to load OTF fonts. To my knowledge this should work from java perspective. System: Java6 on Mac OS X. Post Edited by loge at 12/15/2009 22:10

Sync to M2 Repo still not available. Would be really nice if this would work. BTW, the POM of the recently released 3.7.0 is broken. When resolving 3.7.0, i am only getting a Groovy jar, nothing more. 3.6.2 works as expected. Maven and JasperReports is a long story of misunderstandings :-) Every now and then there are some major issues ;-)

hard to believe that this is still open. Seems you completely ignore Mac OS X. I mean, this bug is a real BLOCKER in terms of UI issues.

But the point is: Even if i use the compat setting in iReport, one simply cant use the generated JASPER file which got produced when switching to preview mode. You NEED to use the compiler shipped with your jasper runtime.

dont you think it would be useful to provide some versioning in the jasper file which make jasper reports act accordingly? Just not displaying the detail band feels a little bit like unfinished software. I would expect something like "version error. Jasper version 3.5.2 conflicts with runtime 3.5.1". Take a look at sun how they do it with java itself when using classes with higher runtime level than the JRE can offer. Or how would you react when sun wont do that and you just do see weird things happening at runtime within your app?

Hi, i am getting this: Error with Report Creation: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Error retrieving field value from bean : Normally you would expect a property name right after the ":" but nothing.

when i get this right, its a footer which appears at the bottom of the page and not right below the last record in my datasource right? So i dont think it can be used as a replacement...

I dont load JRXML from jars but JASPER files. It should be easy enough to do like that: JasperReport report = (JasperReport) JRLoader.loadObject(this.getClass().getResource(filename)); Where "this" is a class inside a JAR boostrapping the report and filename is something like "com/foo/bar/bla.jasper" This makes the same classloader loading the resource which also loaded the "this" class inside the JAR. Then you can be sure that the classloader can actually handle JARs. Post Edited by loge at 06/15/2009 09:10

Hi, i have the same problem as http://jasperforge.org/plugins/espforum/view.php?group_id=83&forumid=101&topicid=21806, now i wonder if this "common" task is really that hard to achieve. Other reporting frameworks simply provide a property where i can define if i want the column footer to display on every page or just at the end. With Jasper it seems you need to be a Jasper reports core developer to achieve that. THis shouldnt be right? Is there an EASY solution? Marc

I can confirm this too in all of my reports.

Ok, 10 hours later .... and nearly getting a heartattack, we finally found out some things: 1) I will never ever compile the report with the "preview" feature of iReport and put it in production. Will always use the JasperReports Ant task now. 2) I dont know who invented "When no data type" property but it seems that the default of this property changed to "Blank Page" or i never got into this trap. In any case ... the default should be something else than that!!! . If i try hard i can imagine some usecases for this property but i really CANT BELIEVE that there is a value "BLANK PAGE". In hell, if someone misses this property like us, one searches for hours and hours to find it. And i cant imagine a single use case where someone wants a blank page. So this was a 2 step problem. First the issue with compiling with a newer iREport version and second this god damn report property. This forum software is still extremely annoying on a mac. Sometimes the HTML Editor doesnt pop up thus one cant edit an entry and the quick reply products no paragraphs. No matter what i do.... Post Edited by loge at 06/09/2009 11:44

when compiling with net.sf.jasperreports.ant.JRAntCompileTask it works with a report designed with NB 3.5.2. So can it be that as long as there is no JasperReports 3.5.2, its better to not use the compiler shipped with iReport (when doing preview) for use in production?

I double checked all this. Its true. When i compile the same report with iReport NB 3.5.1 (or 3.5.0), the resulting .jasper file works as expected. If using NB 3.5.2, my details section is empty. When looking at the serialized .jasper file, there are in fact differences. I post both jasper files so that people can check. Its definitely not an environment issue. I tested both with Java5 and Java6. Its not relevant which JDK i use. Its only the iReport version which makes the difference. Funny enough, my report doesnt work in preview with 3.5.1 (just compiles it) but it works in my app. With 3.5.2, it works in the preview, but not in my app with JasperReports 3.5.1. We spent about 4 hours today on this. This is so annoying. Post Edited by loge at 06/08/2009 18:22 Post Edited by loge at 06/08/2009 20:04

forget this one. Dependant classes were not on the classpath. Everything nice with iREport.

Hi, today my employee and me used iReport NB 3.5.2 and very strange things happen. Reports that worked before, now display nothing or partially nothing. Scenario: We opened a jrxml with 3.5.2 and made a minor change (very minor, something in the TITLE band). Now we run that report with JasperReports 3.5.1 in our app and the complete detail section is empty. Funny enough, the TOTALs which are based on the Details are there. We tried it with various exporters. Everytime the same issue. My collegue created a simple HelloWorld report and he got a totally empty PDF back. When using our old (versioned) .jasper file, everything is fine again. But upon compiling a new one with NB 3.5.2, strange things happen. Please advice. Marc Post Edited by loge at 06/08/2009 20:04

With 3.5.2 i cant even define custom classes at all anymore. It seems that the iReport classpath (which i extended to include my jars) simply wont get picked up. The same goes for my employee. After updating from 3.5.0 to 3.5.2, he cant include custom classes, thus cant run the report anymore. When logging is on, i cant see my defined extra classpath anywhere in the mentioned Dirs on startup like "Installation", "Boot & Ext. Classpath", "Application Classpath" or "Startup Classpath". Whats wrong there now?
