Run jasper report from servlet

[a.merghani]

Dears,

I have nested java project which use jasper report to generate some reports. The project structure is like this:

-WebProject (web application)

-JasperProject(java application)

I added the JasperProject to build path. I test the JasperProject and it works perfect.

When I tried to test the same functinality from WebProject it throw this exception:

May 18, 2015 8:33:56 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [sd.nctr.e15.gui.AJAX_Data] in context with path [/E15] threw exception

I tried to make the JasperProject withen WebProject as one project but the same exception. My question is: Is there any problem the Jasper report to work from Web Application or from Servlet??

[abc.hegde]

As per my knowledge, it works in web projects as well. I suspect, it is not finding the template to fill. Where you have kept the template?

[a.merghani]

Thanks for your reply. The template kept in the JasperProject. As mentioned before, I have nested projects. I have Web application that call JasperProject

to do the generation. Again, it works within the JasperProject which is stand alone java application.

You probably didn't setup the web.xml correctly.

There also should be a "caused by" clause further down your log. Check what it says.

Dears all,

Thanks to all for your replies After painfull tracing of the peroblem, finally, I solved the prolem. It was casued by conflict in the included library in the WebProject. There was 2 lib for jasper with deff version.
