Bad type on operand stack

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hello,

we have been using Aspose.Words for JasperReports 23.10 with Jasperreports 6.18.1 for a long time without any problems. But if we now use the next version 23.11 of Aspose, then we get the error message “Bad type on operand stack”. Can you help us with this problem? Attached is an example program and the error message. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards, Achim

Hi, I created tests for WORDSJR-371 with your files, and cannot reproduce the bug.

I closed the WORDSJR-371 with resolution - cannot reproduce.

In time around release 23.11 we updated Bouncy Castle library,
and it cause some problem with some Java VM.

Can you provide more information about your environment for your SimpleExample?

Hi, I used Java version jdk-8.0.412.8-hotspot. Attached is an overview of the loaded libraries via pom.xml

@ohmstede Thank you for additional information. We will check one more time and provide you more information.

I checked all commits from Aspose Words for Java 23.11 release
And found something that looks suspicious and I can revert it in next Aspose Words for Jasper Reports 24.6

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSJR-375) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for JasperReports 24.6 update.

Hello,

thanks for the update 24.6. Unfortunately, we still get almost the same error message (see appendix). Do you have another idea for the problem? We are still using version 23.10 and would like to use a more recent version. Thanks in advance.

Best regards, Achim

Hello,

I would like to ask if there is any news about this ticket? We are currently unable to use versions newer than JR 6.18.1 and AposeWordsForJR 23.10. Thank you in advance.

Best regards, Achim

Hi @ohmstede

I recreated this problem with your SimpleExample, and tested different jars with new releases and several my fixes.
I can’t find changes in our history of commits that broke the code.
My last guess that this happen because of obsolete dependency that we use for compile jar for older version of Jasper Reports.
For example itext:2.1.7.js9 from your pom.xml is one of that type dependency

Hi @anatoly.sidorenko,

thank you for your reply. I don’t really understand that. The itext:2.1.7 is included in the JR-Lib 6.18.1. The same crash also occurs with JR 6.21.4, where iText is no longer included. There is another ticket with the same problem: Install on JasperServer 8.0.0. I don’t know what I can do at the moment. Is there a working test pom from your site that I can try here?

Best regards, Achim

Hi @ohmstede

You can continue to use Aspose Words For JR 23.10
I will continue to Analyse this problem and try to create new jar for Jasper Server 8.2 and JR 7.0
Maybe new jar created specially for new version of JR could work.
