[Absolute paths and ReportFileResolver]

Hello everyone,

 

i'm about to write an application using  JasperReports 3.5.3. The reports contain subreports, pictures and different fonts. I want to get some pdf documents, so i use the pdfFontName attribute to set the font. The grapichs and subreports have absolute paths using parameters.

eg

String subReportDir = "C:/my reports/subreports";
params.put ("SUBREPORT_DIR", subreportDir);

 

So far no problem.

But I want the font paths also pass through from the application. But I wasn't able to use a parameter in the attribute pdfFontName.

I tried to avoid this problem by using  the REPORT_FILE_RESOLVER parameter:

String fontDir = "C:/fonts";
params.put(JRParameter.REPORT_FILE_RESOLVER, new SimpleFileResolver(new File(fontDir)));

 

When I use the REPORT_FILE_RESOLVER parameter I get the exception:

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Could not load object from location : C:\my reports\subreports\anySubReport.jasper

Without using the REPORT_FILE_RESOLVER I don't get this exception. The subreport is at this location. I don't know, what should be wrong, so is this a bug?

Anyone got an idea, how to pass the path for the fonts to JasperReports?

 

Thanks,

Daniel
