hi im trying to develop a crime system using netbeans and in my servlet i use jasper fill report method but when i compile i get the error error: no suitable method found for fillReport(String,Map<String,String>,Connection) JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport( path , parameterMap, connection ); ^ method JasperFillManager.fillReport(String,Map<String,Object>,Connection) is not applicable (argument mismatch; Map<String,String> cannot be converted to Map<String,Object>) C:UsersNICKDocumentsNetBeansProjectsNew foldercrime-reporting-systemsrcjavareportsCrimeAtPlaceHTMLReportServlet.java:43: error: no suitable method found for fillReport(String,Map<String,String>,Connection) JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport( path , parameterMap, connection ); ^ method JasperFillManager.fillReport(String,Map<String,Object>,Connection) is not applicable (argument mismatch; Map<String,String> cannot be converted to Map<String,Object>) method JasperFillManager.fillReport(InputStream,Map<String,Object>,Connection) is not applicable (argument mismatch; String cannot be converted to InputStream) method JasperFillManager.fillReport(JasperReport,Map<String,Object>,Connection) is not applicable (argument mismatch; String cannot be converted to JasperReport) method JasperFillManager.fillReport(String,Map<String,Object>,JRDataSource) is not applicable (argument mismatch; Map<String,String> cannot be converted to Map<String,Object>) method JasperFillManager.fillReport(InputStream,Map<String,Object>,JRDataSource) is not applicable (argument mismatch; String cannot be converted to InputStream) method JasperFillManager.fillReport(JasperReport,Map<String,Object>,JRDataSource) is not applicable (argument mismatch; String cannot be converted to JasperReport) C:UsersPETADocumentsNetBeansProjectsNew foldercrime-reporting-systemsrcjavareportsCrimeAtPlaceXLReportServlet.java:44: error: no suitable method found for fillReport(String,Map<String,String>,Connection) JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport( path , parameterMap, connection ); ^ method JasperFillManager.fillReport(String,Map<String,Object>,Connection) is not applicable (argument mismatch; Map<String,String> cannot be converted to Map<String,Object>) method JasperFillManager.fillReport(InputStream,Map<String,Object>,Connection) is not applicable (argument mismatch; String cannot be converted to InputStream) method JasperFillManager.fillReport(JasperReport,Map<String,Object>,Connection) is not applicable (argument mismatch; String cannot be converted to JasperReport) method JasperFillManager.fillReport(String,Map<String,Object>,JRDataSource) is not applicable (argument mismatch; Map<String,String> cannot be converted to Map<String,Object>) method JasperFillManager.fillReport(InputStream,Map<String,Object>,JRDataSource) is not applicable (argument mismatch; String cannot be converted to InputStream) method JasperFillManager.fillReport(JasperReport,Map<String,Object>,JRDataSource) is not applicable (argument mismatch; String cannot be converted to JasperReport) Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
