NetBeans:JasperReport --> Exception

[John Wenn]

I'm working on a project that needs Jasper reporting, I have used the code fragment mentioned below to view the report in NetBeans 6.1 (the report is originally generated and compiled using iReport 3.6.0),my requirement is to print this report using a simple Swing application.

Code fragment:

 public class JasperCheck {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String reportSource = "E:/Projects/report.jrxml";
        String reportDest = "E:/Projects/report.html";

        Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        try {

            JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(reportSource);

            JasperPrint jasperPrint =
                    JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, params, new JREmptyDataSource());

            JasperExportManager.exportReportToHtmlFile(jasperPrint, reportDest);

            JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint);
        } catch (JRException ex) {
            System.out.println(ex);
        }
    }
}
   

But when I run this it gives an exception that I couldn't figure out.

Exception:

Hi Oshadha,
The default JRXML created iReport is of type Groovy. You can check this by examining the JRXML File.

 <jasperReport xmlns="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd" name="report1" language="groovy" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="842" columnWidth="555" leftMargin="20" rightMargin="20" topMargin="20" bottomMargin="20">   

Change the language attribute value to "java" and try. Hope it will work

Thanks for the reply, I have fixed it in another way by injecting Groovy type (there's a specific jar file to do so)

I added the appropriate groovy-all-1.5.5.jar to my project classpath, but I still cannot generate a pdf report.
This time, I get

hi ..........

you are using groovy language for your reports that's why you are getting this exception just change the language from the property option of the report to java this will fix the exception....

enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy........

[Grazia Lassner]

I am fine with using groovy as language for the reports. The problem was I was not importing the .jar properly in my app. I had to use the libray path in my orion-application.xml file like this: <library path="./shared-libs/poi-3.5-FINAL-20090928.jar" />

[Kaustubh Sharma]

hey I am using groovy-all-minimal-1.1-rc-3-javadoc and groovy-all-1.5.5-javadoc lib files and I am not getting any problem. hope this will help you also..
