JasperReports failing on a linux machine

Question

I have a dev PC with Win7 and Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.1-b03, mixed mode) installed and a test server with Ubuntu and OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.12.3) (6b27-1.12.3-0ubuntu1 ~12.04.1). I also have a Grails application with a jasper plugin to print some pdf files. While it works on the dev PC, on the test server it fails with this exception:

ERROR errors.GrailsExceptionResolver  - NoSuchMethodError occurred when processing request: [GET] /test/printer/print
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter.setRgbTransparencyBlending(Z)V. Stacktrace follows:
org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet.mvc.exceptions.ControllerExecutionException: Executing action [print] of controller [com.***.PrinterController]  caused exception: Runtime error executing action

I have read so far that this may be caused by an inapropriate version of iText library, but the same itext.jar is included into the plugin on both machines. I'll appreciate any ideas that may help make this plugin work

Answer 1

Finally discovered that the project had a pdf 0.6 plugin that contained an itext 2.0.8 library which was used instead of the expected itext 2.1.7
