on executing the following code:

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, param, jdbcConnection); JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint);

What have I done wrong? How can I fix this or debug it further?

Answer 1

I had a similar error message.

It wasn't depending on the ASM, but on the used groovy library groovy-xxxjar .

Beware - You have to use the groovy-all-xxxjar in order to get this work.

Answer 2

It's exactly the same thing as in your other question here: Exception "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter" on Viewing Jasper Report

The answer is the same. You need to find the right ASM version that will satisfy all your dependencies on it, which may involve changing the versions of some of your other libraries, too.
