Hello Lucian, you're right, but with the new ant version 1.8.0 i got new errors! I tried this on Windows and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 (also with ant 1.8.0) and i got different errors. I see the problem are the jars. There are so many different files and versions and i do not know which works together. Without a manual it is not possible to use jasperreports as a beginner. It is not a problem to buy the printed book at Amazon, but i read some pages at google books and it didn't help me. Greets Holger

No, I got no reply, and I never solved this. The project jasperreports is cancelled. The tool is good, but not useful i a productiv environment. We now use a commercial solution. Greets

I used a old version. The error occours with version 3.5.2. With 3.7.1 i have a new error. Follow this thread: http://jasperforge.org/plugins/espforum/view.php?group_id=102&forumid=103&topicid=58611

Hi Teodor, thanks for your repy. Until your post i thought i am using the newest version. That wasn't so. Now i have the 3.7.1 installed. I don't know where i've got the 3.5.2... With this new version i have a new error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: method org.apache.tools.ant.types.Path.iterator with signature ()Ljava.util.Iterator; was not found. Do you know what this means? My steps are ant clean ant javac ant compile (<- Error above) Is this a problem of the ant version? The version is 'Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on August 30 2006'. It runs on a Red Hat Server 5.4. This 1.6.5 is the latest version from Red Hat. I dont' know how i can get a stack trace. If you need this, please tell me how i can do this. Thanks for your help. Holger

Hello Rod, i'm now on this point where you were. I have the same error which you get. Who did you solve this problem? Thanks for your answer. Holger

Update: I have also installed iReport on Windows. There it is no problem to preview the report. So i thought to take this jar files. Is this possible? I copied the spring.jar to my lib folder and deleted the spring-core.jar. Now i have a new Error: BUILD FAILED java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net.sf.jasperreports.extensions.SpringExtensionsRegistryFactory But this class is in the jasperreports-3.7.1.jar. Is it a problem to use 'Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on August 30 2006'? Is it possible to use all the jar files from the windows version? I tried to copy all the files to my linux file system, but then i get an i/o error. Therer are 1622 jar files on my c drive and i dont know which folder i have to use. All help is welcome! Have a nice day! Holger

OK. I now gone back to the roots and deleted all additional jar files i downloaded. Now i have the error BUILD FAILED java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.springframework.core.CollectionFactory I have seen that there is a spring-core.org. This class is in this lib. Why do i have this error? Does anyone have a hint for me? Thanks Holger

Hello, i am learning to use jasper reports and do not know how i can pass a parameter to a compiled jasper report. Please help me to follow my thoughts. We have an application not in java. We will run a generated report via the shell. For example i have a customer report and want to pass a customer number to the report to print only one or a few records. Whow can i do this? I hope you understand my question. Please ask, if not. Thanks Holger

Hello there, i have a new problem i cannot solve, so i need your help. I want to use jreport on linux. Many java libs i searched and add them to the lib folder. With each new lib a get new errors while compiling the report. Now i do not know what lib i should use. This is my error after 'ant compile': java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory I downloaded the SpringSourceToolSuite. There are the libs i copied to my lib folder. The error occours again. org.springframework.beans_3.0.1.RELEASE-A.jar org.springframework.beans-3.0.1.RELEASE-A.jar The 'spring-beans.jar' is also in the lib folder. My questions: What libs do i need to run my reports without problems (and errors)? What lib do i need especially for my error? Thanks four your help in advance.

Hello Matt, thanks a lot for your help. This is exact the right solution! Greetings from Germany Holger

Hello there! I am new to iReport. The first thing i want do is to use my database. I can connect to my Unify database via JDBC in the Service window. There i see all the tables with the data. I have done this by adding my JDBC driver and created a new database connection. My problem is that i can not place this database fields to my report. I tried it via drag and drop and the mouse cursor said to me that it is not allowed to place the filed there. I do not see the database fields in the report inspector windows at fields. I also can not create a new connection to my datasource using Connections/Datasources. When i choose 'Database JDBC connection' my JDBC driver is not listed. The classpath to my JDBC driver is added. Thanks for your help in advance. Holger
