jasperURL = ClassLoader.getSystemResource(jasperPath);

Is the jar you are trying to load the file from in the system classpath? If not try:

 

getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(jasperPath);

 

You can also use getClass().getResource() but you will need to add a '/' to the start of the path.

or make the report part of your class

I.E "MyProvidesReports"

, in a folder called "ReportsSource"

 

public InputStream getSourceFile() {

//java.net.URL imgURL;

InputStream Source;

Source = MyProvidesReports.class.getResourceAsStream(

"/ReportsSource/PDAN.xml"); // this is a fixed format for all java platforms do not use "file.separator

 

return Source;

}

 

that's what i used to do
