0.4.6 bundled with wrong common-logging.jar

2003-05-08 08:27

I was migrating from 0.4.4 to 0.4.6 only today, and while recompiling reports, exceptions were thrown.

 

Downloading the latest common logging 1.0.3 jar seems to solve my problem.

After further testing, I found that exceptions thrown is due to another jar package clashing. I'm also using FirebirdSQL / JayBird jdbc driver which uses a version of log4j-core.jar.

 

http://www.firebirdsql.org/

 

3 scenarios :

 

1) Without JayBird's log4j-core.jar in classpath, existing JasperReports 0.4.6 bundled commons-logging.jar works without problem.

 

2) With the latest commons-logging.jar (1.0.3) replacement, JasperReports works without problem even if log4j-core.jar is in classpath.

 

3) With the original JasperReports 0.4.6 bundle, together with JayBird log4j-core.jar in classpath, exceptions were thrown while compiling JasperReports XML file.
