Could not load load from location:/test_subreport.jasper

Question

Hi All:
Any help or hint is greatly appreciated it!!
I am currently using IceFaces 1.8.2, Jsf 1.1, and JasperReport 3.5.2.
I get the following error:
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Could not load object from location : /test_subreport.jasper
The report test_report.jasper has a subreport called test_subreport.jasper. I placed both test_report.jasper and test_subreport.jasper in the directory "WEB-INF/reports/"
public String testSearch() throws Exception
          try
               Connection connection;
               FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
               HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)context.getExternalContext().getResponse();
               InputStream reportStream = context.getExternalContext().getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/reports/test_report.jasper");
               ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream = response.getOutputStream();
               ServletContext ctx = (ServletContext) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getContext();
               String filepath = ctx.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/reports/");
               filepath = filepath = "/";
               String imagepath = ctx.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/images/test_logo.gif");
          HashMap parameterMap = new HashMap();
          parameterMap.put("SUBREPORT_DIR", filepath);
          parameterMap.put("Test Number", testNumber);
          parameterMap.put("Image Path", imagepath);
          Properties properties = new Properties();
          properties.load(context.getExternalContext().getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/config.properties"));
          String driver = properties.getProperty("jdbc.driver");
          String jdbc_url = properties.getProperty("jdbc.url");
          String username = properties.getProperty("jdbc.username");
          String password = properties.getProperty("jdbc.password");
          Class.forName(driver);
          connection = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbc_url, username, password);
          JasperRunManager.runReportToPdfStream(reportStream, servletOutputStream, parameterMap, connection);
          //byte[] reports = JasperRunManager.runReportToPdf(reportStream, parameterMap, connection);
          connection.close();
          response.setContentType("application/pdf");
          servletOutputStream.flush();
          servletOutputStream.close();
          catch(Exception e)
               log.error("exception message:"+e.getMessage());
          return "success";
     }

There is a forum dedicated to JasperReports and you might find help there..
http://jasperforge.org/plugins/espforum/browse.php?group_id=102&forumid=103
Also don't forget to use tags because they make it easier for others to read your posts.
Finally, I suggest moving all of your database access code into a separate class.  It will help you write code that is easier to maintain.
