Jasper Problem

[Dave Brown]

Hi All, I'm having a problem getting Jasper to work correctly.. I always get an Error Loading Object From InputStream exception on the JasperRunManager line...

my code is as follows..

try {
Connection con = com.dbws.king.DBConnection.getJNDIConnection();
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=30");
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=reportpdf.pdf");
ServletContext sc = getServletContext();
InputStream is = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/Reports/test2.jasper");
Map parameters = new HashMap();
JasperRunManager.runReportToPdfStream( is,response.getOutputStream(),parameters,con);
} catch(Exception e) {System.out.println(e.toString());}

whilst debugging I can confirm that is not null so the path to the file is correct and is being picked up, so i'm not sure why it would be having a problem with the InputStream. The .jasper file I created in iReport.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Solved the problem eventually.. so for the benefit of others who may run into this....

It was all down to the version of my jasper jar. I download jasper 0.6.6 and was using iReport which comes with version 0.6.4. The compiled .jasper file from iReport being version 0.6.4 was causing the problem so I copied the 0.6.4 jar from my jasper sdk into my tomcat common/lib directory and removed the 0.6.4 jar and all problems vanished.

Rgds,

Dave.
