JaspersoftStudio: Load resource with ENTITY

[libero]

Hello,

I have a JasperReports jrxml file with the following entries:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jasperReport PUBLIC "//JasperReports//DTD Report Design//EN"
                              "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jasperreport.dtd" [
    <!ENTITY reportStyles SYSTEM "./ReportStyles.ent">
]>
<jasperReport
        name="..."
>
    <property name="ireport.scriptlethandling" value="0"/>
    <property name="ireport.encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
    <import value="java.util.*"/>
    <import value="net.sf.jasperreports.engine.*"/>
    <import value="net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.*"/>
    &reportStyles;

If I load the jrxml file in the JaspersoftStudio I receive the following error:

 

The file "ReportStyles.ent" exists in the folder "D:JaspersoftStudio-6.5.1.final".

I have additional set the jasperreport property "net.sf.jasperreports.xml.load.unknown.entities" to "true" in the JaspersoftStudio.

I think the property is ignored by the JaspersoftStudio.

Why the error message appears and how can I solve the problem?

In the iReport 5.6.0 its work fine. :-)

 

Many thanks.

You won't be able to just use a jrxml report from ireport to jasperstudio. Libraries, classpath etc are different. 
You will have to look for if there is an option to convert ireport template to jasperstudio. 
Otherwise you need to look at the logic in the xml in ireport and copy pieces over to a standard jasperstudio report template. 
Test if works, if yo uget error, either see if yo ucan remove the given xml tag and test again or you need to see how jasperstudio implement the same elements in xml. 
Example if the table elements in xml in ireport is similar to the table elments xml in jasperstudio. If not edit the old ireport xml to suit the new jasperstudio xml. 
(That is if you cannot find convert option)
 Hope it helps. At least I tried to answer.

Thanks for your answer. But I known that there are many differences between iReport and jaspersoftStudio. That's not the problem. :-)

The problem is that the xml tag "ENTITY" doesn't work in the JaspersoftStudio (see Screenshot in the first question).

Why couldn't the JasperSoftstudio load the ReportStyles.ent file? That's the problem .

Have anybody else an answer or the same problem with the ENTITY tag?

No. I think most of us just use the jasperreports Java library to dynamically assign query strings and change reports.

Thanks for your answer. It's legacy code and works fine in the old iReport. But I think it's a Bug in the JaspersoftStudio. I will report a mistake in the Bug Database.
