Hi,

Sorry for late response.


I think JasperFillManager does not have the method
fillReport(JasperCompileManager,Map,JRDataSource).

How about following code?
-------------------BEGIN------------------
 (snip)
   :
manager = jnew :JasperCompileManager
jasperReport = manager.compileReport(path_to_template)
   :
-------------------END------------------

The yajb tries to search the overloaded method as java does.
So, giving appropriate arguments, you can choose the method.

Because the difference of typing between ruby (duck-typing) and java
(strong typing) is great, I'm not sure that the method searching code
is complete. If you are interesting in the code, please see the url
