Struts 2.2 jasper report writing null data

[V. Oliver Smith]

I am using tje jasper reports plugin with Struts 2.2.3. We have developed 3 reports and 2 of them are working correctly. For our last report, even though valid data is being passed to the report, all the data is printing out null. Here is a snippet from the .jrxml file. I've removed alot of fields, but the meat is consistent:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I'm using jasperreports-4.1.3 and all the equivalent necessary associated jars

Here is the following from the struts.xml file to show the config:

<struts>
<package name="default" namespace="/" extends="jasperreports-default">
<global-results>
<result name="pdf" type="jasper">
<param name="location">/reports/${jasperRpt}</param>
<param name="dataSource">jasperRptData</param>
<param name="format">PDF</param>
<param name="reportParameters">jasperRptParams</param>
<param name="documentName">jasperRptFileName</param>
</result>
<result name="xls" type="jasper">
<param name="location">/reports/${jasperRpt}</param>
<param name="dataSource">jasperRptData</param>
<param name="format">XLS</param>
<param name="documentName">jasperRptFileName</param>
<param name="reportParameters">jasperRptParams</param>
</result>
</global-results>


My action class contains all of the referenced param values the xls and pdf result type return. We have been able to run this report outside of struts and tomcat with no problem, from java code. It's when we use the report within tomcat with the jasper plugin that the null values are printed out, so there is something quirky about this report and the struts-2.2.3 jasper plugin.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated

I just noticed..ignore the fact that the imageExpression parameter is not declared. It's one of the attributes I stripped from the file

I'll better use a IDE such as Netbeans along with iReport plugin rather than writing the .jrxml myself.

[V. Oliver Smith]

Nitin,

Actually, we use iReports to generate the .jrxml. I only posted it because I thought the issue may be in it.

Come to find it, it was an Eclipse IDE issue and not a jasper reports issue at all. The detail data object that was passed to jasper had incorrect getter method names so every result was coming back null. Once we fixed the getter method names, everything worked fine
