Hi,
We have tried migrating tomcat from 8.5.11 --> 8.5.14 for latest security
fixes and found our jasaperreports functionality is broken.
Reports compilation is failing with unresolved type errors even though all
related jars are in classpath
1. java.util.ResourceBundle cannot be resolved to a type
value = ((java.util.ResourceBundle)
parameter_REPORT_RESOURCE_BUNDLE.getValue()); //$JR_EXPR_ID=34$
<---------------------->
2. net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRDataSource cannot be resolved to a type
value = ((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.
JRDataSource)parameter_DS_controllers_by_model609.getValue());
//$JR_EXPR_ID=37$
<-------------------------------------->
3. net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport cannot be resolved to a type
value = ((net.sf.jasperreports.engine.
JasperReport)parameter_SR_controllers_by_model609.getValue());
//$JR_EXPR_ID=38$
<-------------------------------------->
4. java.util.ResourceBundle cannot be resolved to a type
value = ((java.util.ResourceBundle)
parameter_REPORT_RESOURCE_BUNDLE.getValue()); //$JR_EXPR_ID=40$
<---------------------->
Debugged further and found this is because of 4.6.1 JDT compiler change
from 8.5.12. This is a regression issue from JDT 4.6.1
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=495598
I have tried 4.5.1 (from old tomcat 8.5.11) and 4.6.2 (from
http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/scout/sdk/deps/ecj/4.6.2/ecj-4.6.2.jar)
it works fine.
Can we consider to change JDT to 4.6.2 in upcoming releases?
Mean while, is it okay to use old JDT 4.5.1 (ecj-4.5.1) with latest tomcat
8.5.14?
Thanks,
Durga Srinivasu
