Why do I get Exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundEr

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Why do I get compilation error “org/codehaus/groovy/control/CompilationFailedException”? 4 answers

I've just try Jasper Report, I'm following tutorial from this site

Also I downloaded the sample source then run it and got no error. But when I create my own report using iReport, compile it, and add the .jasper file to my project. There is exception when I run my program:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/callsite/CallSiteArray

Here my button action for displaying the report (this is just sample, the report just contain one text with parameter: outputText):

Map params = new HashMap();
params.put("outputText", "Hello world");
try {
        JasperPrint printer = JasperFillManager.fillReport(getClass().getResourceAsStream("report2.jasper"), params, new JREmptyDataSource());
        JasperViewer jv = new JasperViewer(printer);
        jv.show();
    } catch (JRException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

If it's dependency problem, I've imported all the required jar to my project, when I use .jasper file from that tutorial there is no problem, is it because of the different version of iReport or else?

Answer 1

It may be because of a version mismatch. If you want to know which version of Groovy you need, you can just look at a Maven Repository for Jasper:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports/4.6.0

From here you can see that you require Groovy 1.7.5 for Jasper 4.6.0

Answer 2

You need additional Jar package using CallSiteArray class.

http://groovy.codehaus.org/Download

Answer 3

No need to change the libraries , In case of Ireport 5.X Version you can change it in the language section of the main report properties, Just change from groovy to java and reports wont give any error.

Answer 4

SIMPLE ANSWER

STEPS:

1 Select Your Root Folder i.e report1.jsxml from Report Inspector (Windows->Report Inspector) 2 Go to Properties Tab and Click on Language Tab then Select JAVA

Compile and preview your application started ...

Do same for subReports Also...

Answer 5

Alternatively, you can change the .jrxml file, look for

language="groovy"

and change it to

language="java"

Answer 6

I had the same issue while using Jasper iReport Tool 5.6.0 i had language as Java, and the right jasper report library I down graded to iReport Tool 5.1.0 and it worked like a charm...hope the status remains so..
