If I log in as jasperadmin it allows me to schedule and run reports just fine. However, I created a new user, which has the ROLE_USER permissions and when I create a new schedule under that user the dropdown list for the "Content Repository" folder is not populated with anything, it only has "(Select Folder)" as the only option, but as jasperadmin it shows all the repository folders I have created. What is going on here? Have I missed something in the manuals? I'd really like to have the ROLE_USER schedule reports for themselves. Thanks in advance.

problem was not jasperserver. Apache-Tomcat doesn't work on vista without some security changes. See this post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaact/thread/5a23a2d4-0fbf-42bf-b96f-4dc5401a5267 I changed the security permissions for the apache-tomcat folder to allow full-control for users...problem solved.

Please forgive me if this is a basic questino...new to jasperserver and evaluating the functionality to see if we can make it work for our application...any tips will be helpful, or if you can point me to the right documentation to read that would help. is it possible to pass a variable from php to a report in JS? For example, in my php application I keep the department_id stored in a session variable. I would like to pass the department_id over to my reports running on JasperServer and display the information appropriate for that department. in the iReport I have a query like: "SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department_id = $P{dept_id_from_php}", but I have to build a dropdown select list, which doesn't keep security the way we need it to be. The end result is I would like the user logged into my PHP application to view the employee information that is related to the department the logged-in-user belongs to. I don't want to pass this over using the querystring because the user could just change the id in the querystring and have access to other departments information, which violates a security parameter. Thanks for the help.

I installed JasperServer 3.7.0 on Windows Vista, but for some reason when I start the server, then try to login, the webpage acts like the server hasn't been started. Here's what I've figured out so far with multiple uninstallations/reinstallations. If I go through the installation process at the very end it gives me a checkbox to launch JasperServer immediately. If I check this box, another black box shows up and starts the server. Inside that black box there is some text that tells me the session id (at the bottom of the output stream). If I go to the web page to login and view the reports it gives me the login prompt and I'm able to look a the reports just fine...everything works as it should. The problem now comes when I close down the server (START-->ALL PROGRAMS-->JasperServer 3.7.0-->JasperManagement-->STOP JASPERSERVER....this works and shuts down properly, but when I click on the "START JASPERSERVER to restart the server I get a different black box, or at least the text is different...there is no session id or anything like that...tha last line reads "Apr 21, 2010 7:00:34 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 200ms".....and there is a blinking cursor just below this. But when I go to login at the website "http://localhost/jasperserver/login.html" the page just hangs and hangs. Also, if I open iReport and go to the Repository to look at the datasources there it also hangs trying to "load". During the installation process I chose to install the BUNDLED TOMCAT, but because I already have MySql installed I did not use the bundled Mysql option and just pointed the mysql to the appropriate "mysql/bin" directory. Also, I DID make sure that MySQL server was started prior to starting the JasperServer. Whats weird is that it works if I choose the option to run jasperserver immediatly, and if I run it manually it won't work. Any ideas? Post Edited by ronedog at 04/21/2010 18:54

System is: Windows Vista, set up on localhost. I'm a newbie trying to evaluate jasperserver and iReports. I installed both iReport and JasperServer yesterday and created a report, logged into the web portal to check the report...everything worked fine like it was supposed to. This morning I restarted my computer to start the day. I started JasperServer, I started Apache, and MySQL through the XAMPP portal. When I go to the login page "http://localhost:8080/jasperserver/login.html" The page just hangs and says "Loading"...in the status pane in the bottom of the browser it says "Waiting on Localhost". it appeard that my webserver was not started, but it is. I can surf the web, and I can surf my localhost with my other pages just fine....just can't get to the login page for JasperServer. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help.

Fixed problem by reinstalling iReport. Thanks.

Here's what I did. I downloaded the latest iReport .exe, followed the online tutorial for a basic report, connected to mySql with JDBC, used the "Blank A4" template, added 3 columns (name, date, account#), I took your suggestion and changed the language settings in (Tools->Options->Language Default) and tried Java, Javascript, and Groovy. All of this still gave me the same error.

Hi, just downloaded iReport to try it out. Created a basic table report with a MySql database. It returned the fields and everything just fine, in the design view, but when I tried to run the "Preview" I get the following error: Compiling to file...
