Recommended browser for jasperreport server?

Question

We're getting a lot of quirky behavior with JasperReports Server. Anyone know what the preferred browser is for it? Their FAQ does not specify.

I've run into a lot of issues with IE 8. (problem seems to go away with 9.0) Also with Chrome. "Tree failed to load" error.

However, firefox seems to be the most reliable...

Answer 1

According to the JasperReports-Server-CP-Install-Guide.pdf it should support Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari. See section 3.4 Logging into JasperReports Server:

2. Open a supported browser: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Safari.

Since that is the Community Project version I would assume it is the same for the paid version also. Also worth noting it did not seem to have and minimum version listed in there either.

Answer 2

See the following Platform Support Datasheet: http://www.jaspersoft.com/sites/default/files/Jaspersoft%20Platform%20Support%20V4.7.pdf

Page 2 will give you the supported browsers for both the commercial and community editions. If you run into issues using a supported browser, I recommend logging it on jasperforge.org.

For v4.7 the following is the list:

• Mozilla Firefox 3.5, 3.6, 4.0
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9.0
• Apple Safari 4.0, 5.0
• Google Chrome 6.0 or higher
• Adobe Acrobat 7 or higher
• Adobe Flash 8 or higher
• Apple iPad iOS Safari 4.x or higher
