how to compile XML report in IReport?
2003-12-04 16:04
Hi,

How can I compile a Jasper report (.xml) in IReport 0.2.2? I clicked the "compile" button but nothing happens. I clicked "Help" but nothing happens too. I started IReport by "ant run" in ms-dos prompt.

Thanks in advance,
al

I know this sounds obvious, but I'd consult the iReport author. iReport is a tool that uses Jasper. If it helps, I've had no problems loading up JR xml into iReport. Anyway, I'd email the iReport author or search for an iReport help forum.

Well, instead of compile, I tried execute report in IReport and it gives me this error:

my test.xml only contains a static text in Detail band.

Any suggestions?

It's a windows XP error message. I have had that before. I wasn't able to get around it and have not seen a post that tells how to fix it.

Perhaps use the newest JDK (1.4.2_02) and see if the problem goes away?

I run iReport under WinXP and have not seen that error before. However, the first thing I found was that my version of Object (the root class) was out of date or something similar, and I had to update it. Apart from that, I can read in JasperReport XML files, modify them and write them with no worries. If it is indeed an XP-related problem, have you tried downloading all the necessary updates to XP?

Hi,

I think javac.exe is not in your system's search path.
Add JAVA_HOME\bin to the system path and try again.
Or add tools.jar to the classpath if you want
to compile your reports without launching a separate
process.

I hope this helps.
Teodor
