Servoy 7.3 plugins.jasperPluginRMI.compileReport error

[nevenam]

Hi,
In my Servoy Developer, version 7.3 2022, I get the following error when the method plugins.jasperPluginRMI.compileReport is called:

JavaException: java.lang.Exception: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:
1. The type java.util.Map$Entry cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
/*
^
1 errors

Do you have any idea what might be the reason? My java version is 1.8.0-b132, 64 bit.

What version of the jasper plugin and what version of Ireport do You use ?

And I see You use Java 8, maybe that is the problem ??

Same problem here with Servoy 7.4 and the final release version of Java 8 - cannot compile reports and getting the same error.
The problem started after updating to Java 8. Servoy Developer, Smart & Web clients work fine and I can even run reports which have already been compiled to .jasper file. However attempting to compile .jrxml files results in the error:

Code: Select all

java.lang.Exception: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:
1. The type java.util.Map$Entry cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files


Using the latest version of the Servoy Jasper Plugin available on the ServoyForge site - 4.0.2 - beta 1


I tried with a clean install of Java 8 (after uninstalling all other Java versions) and then a clean install of Servoy 7.4 - still getting the same results.

Hi Servoy,

Have you tested the Servoy Jasper Plugin with Java 8? Is it compatible? Is there a fix/workaround for the issue described here?

Something which I got related to similar issue in RedHat:

Upgrading the JDT Complier to ecj-4.3.1.jar resolves the issue. I created a ticket in ServoyForge for this: https://www.servoyforge.net/issues/804
