changes in report elements delayed execution ?

[tom_45]

Hi,

 

I'm having a hard time working out the correct syntax for a text variable that I want to convert to a date (because I want to compare it to the current date).

While I'm toying around with the expression (simpledateformat), and changing value class name from java.util.date to/from java.lang.string, and running my report again in jasperstudio, it sometimes suddenly starts to work, and then fails again with the error "Error evaluating expression for source text: new SimpleDateFormat("yy-MM-dd").parse(new Date())

Now my question: is it possible that some changes take some time to be effective, so that I am seeing the effects of a cached version or something?

Or is everything I change in jasper studio always active the momentI change a parameter ?

Just wondering because it's driving me nuts...

It's probably not with Jaspersoft Studio but with the jdbc driver you're using or with the network to the data source that's caching.
