How can I resolve this error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: name

[rpozsgai]

My java code generates a Jasper PDF fine on my laptop, but when I put it on the customer server, I get this error.  I'm testing with the exact same data in both cases.

Here is the stack trace:

Here is my main code:

The server console shows where the error occurs, on the fillReport line:

Can someone point me in the right direction as to what may be wrong here?  Remember, I can output this same document fine on my laptop, so I'm sure it isn't a 'bad data' issue.

After serveral days with no response here, I again began scouring the web for any possible hints at a solution. I stumbled across this post

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2746561/how-to-show-an-image-on-jasper-report

It led me to my problem because I had the company logo image hard coded in Jasper.

Problem solved.  I hope this post helps someone else.
