2003-03-05 12:42

Hello everyone..

 

I have a report with sub-report....when I run it with iReport, everything goes OK.....

but when I try to run it within my app, occurs an error saying that it can´t find the .jasper file from my sub-report...but this file is in the same directory from my app....

 

how can i solve this problem??

 

thanx

i solved the same problem, given the full path of the jasper template for the sub report.

for example( unix)

 

/home/projects/myApp/jasper/template.jasper

Hi,

 

When you supply the name of the master report,

you probably use a relative path or an absolute one.

But in the <subreportExpression> you have to use

the same location, because the engine does not

search relative to the master report directory.

This is not a very good approach.

 

The best way is to put the directory containing the

report templates into the classpath.

If you put the .jasper files in a structure like this:

 

classes/com/mycompany/reports/Master.jasper

classes/com/mycompany/reports/Subreport.jasper

 

You the add the "classes" directory to the

classpath and the subreport expression could be:

 

<subreportExpression class="java.lang.String">

"com/mycompany/reports/Subreport.jasper"

</subreportExpression>

 

I hope this helps.
