Thanks for the info, Lee. I've been stepping through the Jasper plugin quite a bit. In fact, 3.5.2 is now out and I've added a Jira ticket to update the libraries, for the time being I'm rolling my own locally. Going forward I'll use this as a reference http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Alternatives-to-Jasper-Reports--p25120572.html
for my next attempts.

Hi,

I haven't used the Jasper plugin on any 1.1 applications unfortunately so it is possible that this approach no longer works.

I think I discovered this way with some good old fashioned debugging so that may be worth a shot using 1.2 so see what the plugin is doing.

cheers

Lee, have you had success with subreports in Grails 1.2x? I've been looking around and reading various posts and suggestions but it appears that either I'm doing SUBREPORT_DIR wrong or this approach doesn't work anymore.

Hi Churck,

make sure the compiled .jasper files are being put into the war correctly.

What is the error you're getting?

I worked on this a while ago and can't really remember the exact workings of SUBREPORT_DIR. Perhaps it needs to be set to an absolute path so it works when running inside your application server.

cheers

I have been trying to use this sub report function. While working under grails localhost, the way you describe to call sub report works great. But have to try creating a war then deploy it to tomcat. The way you describe doesnt work anymore.

Hi, did you already try to send non-String parameters?
I'm trying to send a java.util.Date parameter from my controller.
In the controller method the parameter is a java.util.Date, but in the JasperController it's suddenly a String. The report throws a net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Incompatible java.lang.String value assigned to parameter xxxx exception.

Any ideas?

Check that your iReport version matches the plugin.
