Why My Java Application can't see the *.jrxml?

Question

My project has the following architecture :

My template is \"report1.jrxml\",

Answer 1

Jasper reports can't see it because the file is an embedded resource (it doesn't exist as a file, but a entry in the Jar file)

You need to get a reference to it by using getClass().getResource("/testjasper/report1.jrxml") which will return a URL.

From memory, you should be able to Jasper a InputStream, this can be achieved by using URL#openConnection
