DynamicJasper with Struts 2 integration error

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23108934

Question

I am trying to integrate DynamicJasper report with Struts2 in my project. Strut2 (with XWork 2.2.1 jar) is already using JasperReports (version 4.7.1). As per the official dynamic jasper reports documention I have added DynamicJasper (version 5.0.0) and for Struts 2 integration added the dependency DynamicJasper-Struts2 (version 1.3) the latest available version.

I have the following error thrown during execution 

org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [default] in context with path [/proj] threw exception [Filter execution threw an exception] with root cause

On browsing I came across this feature request Struts 2.1.6 Compatibility (http://sourceforge.net/p/dynamicjasper/feature-requests/4/) already-closed which i believe is the issue in my project, which says

Xwork changed method signature in version 2.1.2, we recompiled sources for that version.

For better clarity, here is my code and dependencies as follows:

Solution

The ActionContext class has the method signature 

public Object get(String key)

so this is the cause of the exception and you should modify ar.com.fdvs.dj.struts2.DJStruts2Result and probably other classes that use Object type parameter or pick up a correct version. Also your maven dependencies should correspond to the concrete version of the Struts 2 framework. See my answer to Conflicts in xwork and xwork-core.
