jrxml-file in a EJB3-archive

[vaschenko]

I have a EJB3-archive. It contains jrxml-file. Usually I perform the following actions to compile a jasper report

 File file = new File("report.jrxml");
 FileInputStream reportStream = new FileInputStream(file);
 JasperDesign jasperDesign = JRXmlLoader.load (reportStream);
 JasperReport jasperReport =
 JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jasperDesign);

In this particular case my aim is to access jrxml-file from a method of a session-bean. The problem is that I can't read the file from the archive.

Hi,

You cannot simply construct a File from a given pathnam ein order to load a file which is packaged within a jar file.

Take a look at this page on accessing resources:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/resources/resources.html

You should try:

URL url = Classloader.getResource( "report.jrxml" );
