Unable to locate the subreport with expression

[CharleyDC5]

Hi folks,

I just installed the new version of iReport (3.5.3) and tried the new automatic subreports compilation feature.

I always get the following message:

"Unable to locate the subreport with expression: "$P{BaseDir} + "mysubreport.jasper"".

Things I have tried :

1.   <subreportExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{BaseDir} + "mysubreport.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>

2.   <subreportExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{SUBREPORT_DIR} + "mysubreport.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>

3.   <subreportExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA["mysubreport.jasper"]]></subreportExpression>

Important notes :

• My report and subreports are located in the same package/directory.
  

  For instance :

  Master report file : C:\eclipse\workspace\MYPROJECT\web\reports\myreport\test.jrxml
  Subreport file : C:\eclipse\workspace\MYPROJECT\web\reports\myreport\mysubreport.jrxml

• BaseDir and SUBREPORT_DIR parameters are set to ""

Any idea?

Thank you very much for help

my  SUBREPORT_DIR  is set

Default Value Expression     =    "C:\\honda\\hatc_boss_rep\\Real\\"

see my attached file.

Yes I understand that.

 

My iReport reports are bundled in a Java J2EE web application, so I can't use a physical path. Otherwise, my web app will search for the folder "C:\\honda\\hatc_boss_rep\\Real\\" (for example), which is not existing on my jboss production environment.

 

Every other report works like a charm. I'm just facing that problem with one report...

I ever use "Option -->> Complilation and execution " to complie jrxml code and deploy to Websphere work sapce both report and sub report (ireport 2.XX ), it's ok Have you tried its?

[JSquire]

so your file locations should then be in your classpath in which case just remove $P{BaseDir}

so the expression class should be string and value="mysubreport.jasper"

if you dont specify the location jasper will look in the same location as the parent report and if not found it will then search your class path.

SOYHU,

This option is already checked in my ireport configuration :(

As I said, I have this problem with only one report. I understand why... I will try to create a new jrxml file and then copy the XML code into it.

 

JSquire,

You mean iReport classpath or application classpath?

 

Thanks for help!

[JSquire]

application classpath - the ireport classpath is not in the jrxml and wont be in the compiled .jasper binary.

Hello,

 

I am having the same problem. Would you please let me know how did you find the solution? Thank you in advance.

[CharleyDC5]

Well, I think that problem has been fixed in the next few versions of iReport.

issue resolved. moved $P{SUBREPORT_DIR} from the default expression and it worked.
