import a class into jrxml

[magarwal]

I am trying to set a parameter in my jrxml to -

<parameter name="MapValue" isForPrompting="false" class="gov.fema.paegrants.util.PdfDataSource"/>

 

and I do have an import statement -

<import value="gov.fema.paegrants.util.*" />

 

but when I compile my JRXML using IReport, I get the following error -

 

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException:ÂErrorsÂwereÂencounteredÂwhenÂcompilingÂreportÂexpressionsÂclassÂfile: 1.Âgov.fema.paegrants.util.PdfDataSourceÂcannotÂbeÂresolvedÂtoÂaÂtype ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ

valueÂ=Â(net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRDataSource)(((gov.fema.paegrants.util.PdfDataSource)parameter_MapValue.getValue()));

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Is this class present on the iReport classpath (Options/Classpath)?

IReport gives 2 options - Add a folder and Add a Jar.

 

I have added the folder where this class file resides on my machine but that did not help

You have to add a class folder in the same way you would add it to a Java classpath.

 

I.e. if your PdfDataSource.class file is under the x/y/z/gov/fema/paegrants/util folder, you need to add x/y/z to the classpath and not x/y/z/gov/fema/paegrants/util.

 

HTH,
