Hi,Not sure what this application you are using is, but can you attach some JRXML file that would help reproduce the problem on our side?Thanks,Teodor

2 files added - the report source (cut down to work without database) and example output when run under 6.0.0 (working version)

Hi,I took your JRXML, changed the report name inside to match and put it in place of the /demo/samples/barcode4j/reports/Barcode4JReport.jrxml file of the JR 6.0.3 source distribution. After running the sample, I obtained the attached PDF, which seems OK to me.Doing the same on the JR 6.0.3 distro, do you get a different looking PDF?Thanks,Teodor

I have uploaded example3 image which shows the report running on my Mac using 6.0.0 and 6.0.3 respectively.

 

I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with Java 1.7.0_75

I am running the example report from within my application using the downloaded JasperReports Library. I am wondering if you are running from within the IDE using the design tool and seeing different results because of that ?

 

Just thinking out loud.

What would be useful in a situation like this is a minimal application (jar) which could take the name or a report as a parameter and run it with output to screen JRViewer etc. This would work for reports that don't need a data source (jdbc) connection and would mean that we could eliminate any problems with the calling application or other jars on the class path.

 

Does any such utility exist in your test/dev library ?

 

Thanks

Something like this http://jasperstarter.sourceforge.net

 

Which I've not tried myself - but will see how it works later.

Hi,This is what I have told you in my last comment. The simple application you are referring to exists in the form of a sample inside the JR Library source distribution that you can download from Sourceforge.net. If you have ANT Tool installed, you can run those samples and view the simple report in JR's Swing viewer, without interference from other dependencies.Thanks,Teodor

I can see the demo\samples directory - can you give me a clue as to which one of these I should use please.

Hi,

 

Open a command prompt, cd to the /demo/samples/barcode4j folder and type:

 

ant clean test view

 

If you have ANT Tool propertly installed, the small sample application will be run to compile, fill, export and view a report with barcodes in it.

If all goes well, then take your JRXML, change its file name to match the one in /demo/samples/barcode4j/reports/Barcode4jReport.jrxml, and copy on top of it.

Also make sure to manually edit your JRXML so that you also change the report name attribute inside to name="Barcode4JReport".

 

Then run the sample again and see if your barcodes look OK in the Swing viewer which appears.

 

I hope this helps.

Teodor

 

I have attached my sample report.

 

What I eventually did was remove all barcodes except for the EAN-128 from the sample report, then add my code for my problem barcode into it and ran the report. Initially I notices that on preview my barcode was narrow as reported and your sample barcode was ok. So I then started changing mine small part at a time until it worked. The key setting which fixed it for me was moduleWidth="1.4" which was not present in my report.

 

I now works. However I still have some differences between the 2 definitions and I was wondering if you could explain the significance of then.

 

For example mine has jr:EAN128 where your sample uses c:EAN128 - is this just cosmetic namespace ?

 

Your report has style="Barcode" where mine did not.

 

If you could clarify this would be most helpful as there does seem very little information on the barcode elements of jasper reports. None that I've found so far.

 

Thanks

 

Dave

 

It would appear that the syntax of the source has changed quite a bit. Loading and re-saving the source + recompiling using 6.04 of the Eclipse plugin resolved the problem.
