Dynamic Reports - ".toPdf(<<filepath>>)" function is not working in Java

I am using Java 8 and Dynamic reports version is 6.0.0. In pom.xml, I have added this dependency :

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.sourceforge.dynamicreports</groupId>
    <artifactId>dynamicreports-core</artifactId>
    <version>6.0.0</version>
</dependency>

This code is to generate the report parameters:

JasperReportBuilder report = new JasperReportBuilder();
report.setPageMargin(DynamicReports.margin().setLeft(30).setRight(30).setTop(10).setBottom(10));
report.setPageFormat(PageType.A4, PageOrientation.PORTRAIT);
report.title(cmp.subreport(subReport1));

Here, the variable subreport1 contains all the report data. They are verified to be correct.

After generating all the report data, this is the code I execute to write the report details into a file:

FileOutputStream st = new FileOutputStream("<<DUMMY_FILE_PATH>>");
report.toPdf(st);

At this line where .toPdf is present, the following exception is being thrown:

Please let me know the solution for this error.

Solution

  • I found the actual solution. There was a version mismatch between xerces jar and dynamic reports jar. It was resolved by adding the following dependency :

    <dependency>
    <groupId>xerces</groupId>
    <artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
    <version>2.11.0</version>
</dependency>
