Servoy JasperReports Plugin version 3.3.0 (Final) - Release Notes¶

We are pleased announce that the final version of the Servoy JasperReports Plugin (version) 3.3.0 has just been released.
The corresponding builds of the plugin are available at the files section.

• Constant values are not recognized without calling a plugin function/property first
• plugins.jasperPluginRMI.readFileFromReportsDir fails with Java lang exception in Servoy 6.1 beta 2
• code completion returns wrong syntax

Issues related to „client portion of the JasperReports depends on absolute server side dirs to be set” has also been fixed – using paths relative to the server dirs now. Fixed in plugin and bean.
Do note that this fix deprecates the reportDirectory property and replaces it by the relativeReportsDirectory; also the extraDirectories property has been deprecated and is replaced by the relativeExtraDirectories property.

The relativeReportsDirectory setting
Regarding this new setting, currently, on the Application Server admin page, you have the directory.jasper.report setting and here (only) you can set a full path to the reports directory; therefore on the admin page you can set the directory.jasper.report property to the value "C:/path/to/reports/". But from a client you cannot do plugins.jasperPluginRMI.reportDirectory="D:/another/path" anymore. You can do plugins.jasperPluginRMI.relativeReportsDirectory="/subpath/in/reports", which will actually mean the client looks for reports in "C:/path/to/reports/subpath/in/reports", so it follows a relative-to-the-server-setting path. You won't be able to set absolute paths now from a client. If you don't set the relativeReportsDirectory to anything, it will by default look just in the server side set path.

Other bugs fixed: code and documentation related.

Have fun testing! We await your feedback!

Andrei
