JasperManager.loadXmlDesign problem

2005-10-27 02:29

Hi,

 

I have generated a simple jrxml file using iReport and am wanting to convert it to PDF. I'm having a problem when I try to use JasperManager.loadXmlDesign on a report I have created. I get the following exception :

SEVERE: Digester.getParser:

Exception breakpoint occurred at line 899 of Digester.java.

java.lang.NullPointerException:

 

 

The code that causes this exception is :

 

JasperDesign jasperDesign = JasperManager.loadXmlDesign("c:\temp\SupplierUsageByWeek.jrxml");

 

Any pointers regarding this problem would be greatly appreciated as I have run out of ideas.
