Groovy Jasper plugin

Question

Hi! I have updated from grails 1.1 to grails 1.1.1 and I also updated the jasper plugin from version 0.95 to version 0.97

Now I am getting an exception when calling the plugin (see below).

Any Idea what is wrong?

Thanks!

Luis

Answer 1

Finally I found what was the problem. . Under plugins\jasper-0.9.7\lib you should have only one version of jasperreportsXXX.jar . If you are using Ireports for generating reports the Ireport version should be compatible with the jasperreportsXXX.jar version. That is Ireports version XXX will work with jasperreportsXXX.jar . If you are updating the jasperreportsXXX to a newer version then most probably you have to update also theiTextXXX.jar file

Thank you very much Luixv! I have just had the same problem. I had only to delete one of the files in /plugins/jasper-0.9.7/lib
