Fixing JasperReports net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRuntimeException: Error creating SAX parser

1 Comment / Uncategorized / By

While upgrading machines I have upgraded to run jdk 1.6 which have screwed up compiling of my reports with following error.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\jre\lib\endorsed
Source File:c:/Users/greg/report2.jrxml

My first thought was to place the xalan.jar inside the ‘java.endorsed.dirs’ but that did not fix the problem.

 System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.endorsed.dirs"));

So after a little investigation I have found the problem and simple solution, download following file or extract it from jasper reports libs folder

xercesImpl-2.7.0.jar

And place it inside your “java.endorsed.dirs” thats all.
