I have a created many report with iReports 3.5.2 in netbeans 6.9M1. In one specific report, i can compile it in netbeans, select parameters and view the filled report but when i run in from inside tomcat webapps, it gives the following exception java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillGroupFooters(JRVerticalFiller.java:793) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillReportEnd(JRVerticalFiller.java:298) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRVerticalFiller.fillReport(JRVerticalFiller.java:134) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRBaseFiller.fill(JRBaseFiller.java:938) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRBaseFiller.fill(JRBaseFiller.java:841) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFiller.fillReport(JRFiller.java:58) at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager.fillReport(JasperFillManager.java:417) at org.apache.jsp.reports.reports_005fviewable_005freport_005fdisplay_jsp._jspService(reports_005fviewable_005freport_005fdisplay_jsp.java from :234) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:109) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:847) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:389) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:486) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:380) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:847) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.servletService(ApplicationFilterChain.java:427) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:315) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invokeInternal(StandardContextValve.java:287) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:218) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.doInvoke(StandardPipeline.java:648) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.doInvoke(StandardPipeline.java:593) at com.sun.enterprise.web.WebPipeline.invoke(WebPipeline.java:94) at com.sun.enterprise.web.PESessionLockingStandardPipeline.invoke(PESessionLockingStandardPipeline.java:98) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:222) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.doInvoke(StandardPipeline.java:648) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.doInvoke(StandardPipeline.java:593) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:587) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:1096) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:166) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.doInvoke(StandardPipeline.java:648) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.doInvoke(StandardPipeline.java:593) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:587) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:1096) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:288) at com.sun.enterprise.web.connector.grizzly.DefaultProcessorTask.invokeAdapter(DefaultProcessorTask.java:647) at com.sun.enterprise.web.connector.grizzly.DefaultProcessorTask.doProcess(DefaultProcessorTask.java:579) at com.sun.enterprise.web.connector.grizzly.DefaultProcessorTask.process(DefaultProcessorTask.java:831) at com.sun.enterprise.web.connector.grizzly.DefaultReadTask.executeProcessorTask(DefaultReadTask.java:341) at com.sun.enterprise.web.connector.grizzly.DefaultReadTask.doTask(DefaultReadTask.java:263) at com.sun.enterprise.web.connector.grizzly.DefaultReadTask.doTask(DefaultReadTask.java:214) at com.sun.enterprise.web.connector.grizzly.TaskBase.run(TaskBase.java:265) at com.sun.enterprise.web.connector.grizzly.ssl.SSLWorkerThread.run(SSLWorkerThread.java:106) This specific report is very similar to another report as only the query's where clause criteria changes and runs very well in tomcat. What do i need to do to avoid this error now and in future? Thanks in advance. I have included the jrxml file
