Problems with Using ReportWriter

[Steve Dyke]

All these lines of code say they can't be resolved in WebSphere.

import com.ibm.xsl.composer.areas.*;
import com.ibm.xsl.composer.framework.*;
import com.ibm.xsl.composer.java2d.*;

Perhaps you just need to add a missing JAR or two to the build path of your IDE. (For example, jt400.jar contains com.ibm.as400.util.CommandHelpRetriever and so jt400.jar must be present in the build path in order to use CommandHelpRetriever. I don't know what JARs or other resources contain the classes you're missing.)

Sometimes adding libraries such as JARs to the build path is as simple as copying JAR files to the WEB-INF/lib folder within your project, if it's a web application.

I'm assuming you just need help configuring your IDE, so I'm moving this to the IDEs forum...

I have got this issue resolved. However, when I try to run this in my app I get an error:
