Issue
I'm upgrading a spring application from 4.3.x version to 5.1.x version. When doing this I found an error for JasperReportsPdfView class from the org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jasperreports package.
Also in our application we are using the jasperreports-3.6.0 jar.
Error:
error: package org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jasperreports does not exist
Sample Code:
public class PdfReportView extends JasperReportsPdfView{
/**
* Creating constructor
* @param contractList
*/
public PdfReportView(List contractList) throws JRException
{
}
;
;
;
}

Also I can see jasperreports package in spring 4.3.24.RELEASE.
https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/4.3.24.RELEASE/javadoc-api/
But I'm not able to see from 5.0.0.RELEASE onwards.
https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.0.0.RELEASE/javadoc-api/
Please help me to solve this issue.
Also please suggest some example url's to get knowledge on this.
Also suggest some steps that I can follow to upgrade this jar from 3.6.0 to 6.7.1 version.
Solution
Generally, while upgrading from the Spring lower versions to higher versions( Ex: Spring-4.x.x to Spring-5.x.x ) we need to consider the below points.
- New Features
- Supported existing features
- Removed Packages, Classes and Methods
- Dropped Support Features
From the Spring Framework github wiki and from other articles, it is confirmed that support for JasperReports has been dropped from Spring 5.x versions. So it is recommended to remove the code that are using the Japser reports from the application code or to support them by using the core-jasper reports libraries.
