Hi,
i want to use apose.slides to export my report to ppt file. one thing that seems to be confusing is that, is apose.slides is also using jaspereports api or all the api for exporting the report to ppt file are included in the same package. i had tried the trial version of apose.slides and came to the conclusion that it is using jasperreport exporting api’s to export different parts of the reports. like box and other things. for example jasperreports are facilitating apose.slides to export stuff on the report.
let me make my question presice. can i use apose.slides without using api’s for jasperreprots? becoz it seems to me that apose.slides is using jasperreports2.0.5 api for jasperreports. please suggest.
thanks,
MBJ
Hello,
We have 3 different product lines:
- Aspose.Slides for Java and .NET which have own api and don’t use any third-party products like JasperReports.You can use it if you need full access to a presentation file and you want to create whole report by yourself.
- Aspose.Slides for JasperReports is JasperReports exporter. It can only work together with JasperReports or JasperServer to export jrxml/jrprint reports to ppt format.
- Aspose.Slides for Reporting Services is MS SQL Server extension which allow export SQL Server reports to ppt format.
So you should check you requirements and decide what product to use.
Alexey,
thanks for responding quickly. the probelm is that i am working with jasperreports and the api’s i am using for generation reports are 2.0.2. i had made many changes to work the api’s according to the client’s request. now the problem i am facing is Apose.Slides for JasperReports uses Jasper api’s for the version 2.0.5 or higher now if i upgrade my existing api’s i will have to change whole application scinarios. kindly suggest if i can use Apose.Slides for JasperReports with my existing jasperreports2.0.2 api’s.
thanks,
MBJ
Hello,
Aspose.Slides tested with JasperReports 2.0.4 and 2.0.5. Since differences between 2.0.2 and 2.0.4 are minimal so if you didn’t change exporting engine too much, I think it should also work with 2.0.2 without any problems.
That is JasperReports 2.0.4 release notes:
JasperReports 2.0.4 adds support for Dotted and Double line style. It
also adds warning messages to signal the use of deprecated pen and box
attributes and tags in JRXML. All of the samples included in this
version have been refactored.
Hey Alexey,
now i am getting this error trace

it seems to be the mismatch of the compliance level. i am using jdk1.5.0_11. it looks like the version of the jar or the binary files i am using is incompatible to the deployment version. can you please help in this regard. please let me know what version of java is being used to create the binary for the files included in the jar file i.e, Aspose.Slides.JasperReports.jar file. kindly correct if i am wrong.
thanks,
MBJ
Hello,
Aspose.Slides for JasperReports compiled with JDK 1.6.0_06 but with options source=“1.5” target=“1.5”. IncompatibleClassChangeError can’t be thrown because of wrong jdk version, it usually appears if some class replaced with another version with different methods.
I’m afraid com.aspose.slides.jasperreports.e.a(SourceFile:69) line refer to the method inside JasperReports
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRCommonElement.getMode()
Dear you have identified the problem but not the reason for it. kindly tell me what i have to do to cope with this error. i am now using JasperReport 2.0.4 api and it is still throwing the same error. as mentioned in the previous post i am sending the stack trace again… please have a look at it and ellaborate… thanks…

Hello,
I think you still use JasperReports 2.0.2. Probably you have old jar in the classpath or may be some old changed classes.
I have checked 2.0.2, 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 sources. There is no JRCommonElement class in the 2.0.2 version at all so Aspose.Slides for JasperReports definitely won’t work with it. This class appeared first time in the 2.0.3. So in case you really use JasperReports 2.0.4 then you can’t get such exception. Could you please check classpath again.

i had some how managed to work with dual api’s. i am getting the above error now. i am also using apose.words.jasperreports that is not causing any problem
but when i use apose.slides.jasperreports it throws me this error… please help in this regard
further i didnt understand one thing when i explored apose.slides.jasperreports i found files with the same name like (le and lE)/ (bx/bX ) .class files. when i extract that jar windows say file already exits do you want to replace if yes / No it keeps one version of the file either with small case or capital case…
regards
MBJ
Hello,
You shouldn’t extract class files from jar. Class names in Java are case sensitive. That is absolutely normal if you have 2 classes let’s say “TestClass” and “testclass” in one package. In this case jar will contain both TestClass.class and testclass.class files. Jar and zips support it but windows file system doesn’t.
I have just checked Tomcat bug tracker and it looks like that is old Tomcat’s bug.
39093 – Tomcat messes up when a class has the same name as a package
47323 – Name clash: o.a.c.Manager class vs. o.a.c.manager package when compiling JSP
If necessary I can create new jar file with disabled mixed case of obfuscated file names although I think everything should work fine if you don’t extract classes. Btw, latest version contains also beta version of JasperReports PPTX exporter.

i am getting above exception. the packages that are bold are not present in the jar file that i downloaded and is in use. kindly send me the correct jar file so that i can test it and we can purchase the Aspose. futher i tried to download 1.2.0.0 version from you website and it is saying the release is 1 year old and cannot be downloaded please select some latest release to download, and there is no latest release for jasperreports. futher, i tried right click and select download option, unexpected error is thrown.
NOTE : I am had tested aspose.words.jasperreports and it is running fine. please help me regarding slides issue.
I am also attaching the package that i am having and is being used.
Thanks,
Muhammad Bilal
Hello,
Attached version is correct. com.aspose.slides.jasperreports.k.class exists in the jar so there is no problem.
I think the problem is you don’t have JAI and JAI-IO in the classpath. Actually, you only need jai_codec.jar and jai_core.jar. I have attached it here for download.
We are going to release new Aspose.Slides for JasperReports version in October. It will support also PowerPoint 2007 PPTX export format.
thanks… i just want to ask if current aspose api’s works with 3.6 api’s for jasperreports.
Hello Bilal,
Thanks for your interest in Aspose.Slides.
Currently supported versions of Jasper Reports with Aspose.Slides for Jasper Reports are Jasper Reports 2.0, 3.0 or higher (tested with 2.0.4, 2.0.5 and 3.0). For more information, please follow this link. Please try using our product with Jasper Reports 3.6 and Incase, If you encounter any problem with use of our, please share with us.

please let me know is this release is in stable position and have the baackward compatibility with jasperreports api’s. looking for the quick response.
IOException occurs when search for propriate codecs.
MBJ
Hello Dear,
I have received the email sent by but we will really appreciate if you please kindly raise your queries over the forum as it will help others as well for reference if they have some what similar issue. The JIA codecs error that you are experiencing is probably due to missing class path reference of 2 JAI jar files.
- jai_codec.jar
- jai_core.jar
The jai_imageio.jar is not necessary for JasperReports versions. Also, the latest version of Aspose.Slides for JasperReport 1.3.0 is backward compatible with JasperReports 2.0.5 API.
For next part of your query in which you have requested about package and pricing details, our Aspose.Purchase team will share the details with you shortly.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello Bilal,
There is similar problem described.
Solved: JAI: Reading bad JPEGs | Experts Exchange
Stack trace and error message are identical so I think the problem is the same. JasperReports returns empty or broken images to the PPT/PPTX exporter. Unfortunately I don’t know why it happens. May be something wrong with JasperReports or configuration.
Thanks you!
but if jasperreports are the
returning the problematic images. kindly tell me why its working with
your current version that i am using? i am herby attaching the jar
files that i am currently using and are in a stable mode working fine.
