Groovy compilation problem while creating report using Jasper Reports

Sorry for so big delay in posting :)

Recently while creating report using Jasper Reports 3.5.2 I faced the issue with compilation error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/control/CompilationFailedException

It was quiet strange cause I'm using pure Java without Groovy.
I found solution on somebody's blog.

In order to solve mentioned issue simple edit your jrxml template and remove the language="groovy" attribute from jasperReport node.

Enjoy!

    So simple :) As I understood - removing [language="groovy"] line set "language" variable to default value (let me guess - "java" ?).

    Another solution is to copy groovy-all-{version}.jar from the groovy binary distribution into the application's /WEB-INF/lib directory. The file is located in the /embeddable directory within the Groovy distribution. Cheers! :D

      You are great...Alternate solution worked for me after adding groovy jar file to my apache libraries and restarting services...Thank you very much..

    Thanks, very helpful. To add to suhaizal's comment, if you are using iReport you can get the Groovy JAR from it under ireport/modules/ext and copy that into your project.

    Take care about your subreports.

    If you have a report with subreports, change the language parameter to 'Java'.

    Cheers!

    And this error type culd appear in other case if you are passing parameter for fill the report and have a directory route.

    If you have a directory route, you have to set this route without "".

    Example:

    Correct: SUBREPORT_DIR=C:\Documents\reports\

    Incorrect: SUBREPORT_DIR="C:\Documents\reports\"

    Thanks for all and code well!!

    For any question about, feel free to contact me.

    If you are using Maven and want to explicitly include the Groovy jar file, you can insert this into your pom.xml file (pretend the '['s and ']'s are open and close angle brackets; this blog software stripped out the XML element tags):

    [dependency]
    [groupId]org.codehaus.groovy[/groupId]
    [artifactId]groovy-all[/artifactId]
    [version]1.7.2[/version]
    [/dependency]

    I would think it possible to add:

    [scope]runtime[/scope]

    ...but when I did so, the jar file was not downloaded by maven.

    The Jasper POM file specifies an earlier version of groovy-all, but I'm going with the later version and have no compatibility problems yet.

    Hi there, could you PLEASE help me here :
    in iReport3.7.4
    I found 2 places that we can set the language one of them is for each report in repot properties and one of them is report
    default language in iReport ,
    also there are 3 laguages that u can set (groovy,javascript,java) if u set it to groovy and javascript it would have language="groovy" or language="javascript"
    and it keeps this after save but if u set it to java it doesn't have language="java" and if u yourself add it manualy it would be removed after each save again...so ur report has this error because the language is null
    "javax.servlet.ServletException: au.com.rmt.ca.exceptions.SystemException: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Language "javascript" not supported by this report compiler.
    Expecting "java" instead.
    "

    JasperReports declares its dependency to Groovy libraries as optional. You can find a complete explanation of what are the optional dependencies here: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-excludes-dependencies.html
