net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException:Resource not found

Question

I try to use subreport using JasperSoft Studio but I get the exception below. It cannot find the subreport file although it is there.

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException:Resource not found at: D:\\JASPERREPORTS\\MyReports

Below is the configuration of main report

Answer 1

Following Sharad's answer, if it still doesn't generate the file (which happened to me), you can try this:

Before previewing the report, you can try to compile it first. If you open your jrxml file (the one that includes the subreport), you may notice a little icon (a little file with some binary string) on the upper bar of your editor. Clicking this button should generate the file you're expecting.

I created a new answer because I wanted to add an image showing the button:

Notice that this may also work: clean the projects that contain the reports using "Project > Clean...". And then right click your project in the "Project Explorer" (usually on your left), and then click "Build Project".
