Unable to generate the pdf

Hi All,

I keep on getting the following error while generating a pdf in linux server where as it's working fine in my local machine.

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I have tried all the solutions that I could fine on the web like

-  Give permissions to temp directory of the tomcat

- Set the java.awt.headless property to true

- Add the jasper-fonts library to the lib folder and use only the "DejaVu Sans" font in all my reports.

None of the solutions worked and now I need help from Jasper specialists.

After I see this issue for the very first time while populating the pdf and second time onwards I am getting the following exception

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledTextParser

Any help would be much appreciated.. Thank you.
