Empty Subreport in jasper report

In  case your subreport gives empty/ blank screen, chances are it may be due to datasource problem.Remember to add the following in subreport tag(in case of empty datasource)-



and it should look somewhat like this -

Exception - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/poi/ss/usermodel/Font

If the exception as -

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: 

Handler processing failed; 

nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 

org/apache/poi/ss/usermodel/Font 

shows, adding the poi jar from http://poi.apache.org/download.html 

helps to get going.
