For JasperReports Server versions , you must manually add this JAR to enable PL/SQL execution.
The JasperReport object's setProperty method registers the factory for that specific report instance. Meanwhile, the JRProperties.setProperty method registers the factory globally for the entire JVM, which may be necessary in some environments for the export to function correctly, despite the method being deprecated.
Because this is a legacy artifact from 2009, it is typically found in archival repositories rather than modern central hubs: jasperreports-extensions-3.5.3.jar download
The JAR also provides the com.jaspersoft.jrx.query.JRXPathQueryExecuterFactory class, which is required for reports using the xpath2 query language. Without this JAR, you will encounter the error "No query executer factory registered for the 'xpath2' language" when trying to compile or fill a report with an XML datasource.
The safest approach is using Maven Central, which automatically downloads the JAR while managing dependencies. This ensures you get an authentic, unmodified version of the library. For JasperReports Server versions , you must manually
By doing so, you'll ensure that your project uses the correct version of the library, and you won't need to manually download the JAR file.
<dependency> <groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId> <artifactId>jasperreports-extensions</artifactId> <version>3.5.3</version> </dependency> Because this is a legacy artifact from 2009,
: Restart the application server (like Tomcat) after adding the file. 2. XML Datasource (XPath2) To use the XPath2 query executor in older server versions:
Run the application on JDK 8, or upgrade your entire JasperReports stack to a version higher than 6.x. To help troubleshoot your configuration, let me know:
