Class not found Error while integrating DynamicJasper with Struts 2.3.3

Question

I am using DynamicJasper 4 and facing problem while integrating with Struts 2.3.3.

I've used the DynamicJasperStruts2-1.jar for displaying the generated report, but the problem is this jar imports TextUtils class which requires x-work 2.1 library.

But for Struts 2.3.3 we require xwork-core 2.3.3 jar which does not contain the TextUtils class.

So while integrating I get the error Class not found so do update the DynamicJasperStruts2-1.jar so that its compatible with the Struts 2.3.3.

All my project are on Struts 2.3, so degrading down would be problem.

What can you recommend to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Please, download latest version which resolves the issue:

or update your pom.xml to

   <dependency>
      <groupId>ar.com.fdvs</groupId>
      <artifactId>DynamicJasper-Struts2</artifactId>
      <version>1.3</version>
    </dependency>

Answer 2

If i am correct TextUtils Utilities for common String manipulations, in fact this was ported from one of the opensymphony project.

Most of methods contained in the TextUtils was replaced in favor of apache commons and class was removed as it was no longer needed.

My suggestion is to fix the issue with DynamicJasperStruts2-1 as its using something which has been removed from the API in favor of more flexible and more elegant solution.

Else you will left no other choice than downgrading your S2 version which is not a recommend approach.
