Please let me know what could be the problem.

As described in the documentation
Thrown if an application tries to call a specified method of a class (either static or instance), and that class no longer has a definition of that method.
Here's how this can happen. Imagine you built some code that used a library with a method called foo(). You compiled your project and then later decided to upgrade the library. You do this by overwriting the old jar file with the new one. You don't recompile your code.
But what you didn't know is the new library removed the foo() method. Now if you run your code, it will throw this exception because your compile code calls this method and it's no longer there.
In your specific case, this isn't necessarily your code with the problem. It could be that you have one library that uses another library and the problem is there (for example, Library X uses version 2 of Library Y, but you only have Library Y version 1 in your classpath). If this is happening, you need to make sure the libraries are using the version they expect.
For your specific problem, you need to find the version of the jar that has org.apache.xmlgraphics.java2d.GraphicContext in it and it needs to have a constructor that takes a... list of org/apache/xmlgraphics/java2d/GraphicContext... maybe. I forget what (L...;)V means.

Standard Method TEXT is undefined when compiling jasper report

When I package my stand-alone-java-application, that compiles, renders and prints Jasper-Reports, in a fat jar with all dependencies, I get the error that the function TEXT – a function used in the report and defined in the net.sf.jasperreports-functions-library is not found.
The method TEXT(Integer, String) is undefined for the type [...]
value = IF(LEN(TEXT(((java.lang.Integer)parameter_X.getValue()),"#"))==2,"***",REPT("*",6-LEN(TEXT(((java.lang.Integer)parameter_X.getValue()),"#")))) //$JR_EXPR_ID=58$
Other functions from the same library work. When I run the application with gradle run, the function is found and the report can be printed. The library is on my classpath.
There are several similar questions on this site and Stackoverflow, but neither provided answers, that worked for me. In the following, I will explain what I tried:
In my build.gradle-File I defined dependencies to the following libraries:
implementation('net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports:6.18.1')
implementation('net.sf.jasperreports:jasperreports-functions:6.18.1')
In my java-Files, I created a DesignFile and statically imported the functions into it. I tried two methods:
Method 1 as given in an answer in this thread: Unresolved symbols when compiling jasper report
/*…*/
designFile = JRXmlLoader.load(sourceFile.getAbsolutePath());
designFile.addImport("static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions.*");
designFile.addImport("static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.MathFunctions.*");
designFile.addImport("static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.DateTimeFunctions.*");
designFile.addImport("static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.LogicalFunctions.*");
JasperReport compiledReport = JasperCompileManager.getInstance(ctx).compile(designFile);
/*…*/
Method 2: importing each function on its own
public static String[] textFunctions(){
return new String[]{"BASE", "CHAR", "CLEAN", "CODE", "CONCATENATE", "DOUBLE_VALUE",
"EXACT", "FIND", /*"FIXED", */"FLOAT_VALUE", "INTEGER_VALUE", "LEFT", "LEN", "LONG_VALUE",
"LOWER", "LTRIM", "MID", "PROPER", "REPLACE", "REPT", "RIGHT", "RTRIM", "SEARCH", "SUBSTITUTE",
"T", /*"TEXT",*/ "TRIM", "UPPER"};
}}
/*…*/
designFile = JRXmlLoader.load(sourceFile.getAbsolutePath());
for (String textFunction : textFunctions()){
designFile.addImport("static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions." + textFunction);
}/* similarly for logical functions, numeric functions and datetime functions*/
}
JasperReport compiledReport = JasperCompileManager.getInstance(ctx).compile(designFile);
/*…*/
As you can see, the function TEXT is commented out. That’s because the program fails at runtime when run with “gradle run”, when I comment it in:
net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:
1. The import net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions.TEXT cannot be resolved
import static net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions.TEXT;
The same thing is true with most datetime-functions, in fact, only TIME can be imported to the DesignObject without error at runtime
In addition to that, when I type net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions. in my IDE, the content-assist shows a list of available functions, yet TEXT is missing.
I suspected, that the function is simply missing in the library, but it is there. In the .gradle/cache/modules-2/files-2.1/… directory, there is the jar with the TextFunctions.java, that contains the function TEXT:
When building the FatJar with dependencies, I have a TextFunctions.class-File in it, that contains the TEXT-Function as well.
In my jar, there are two jasperreports_extension.properties on the root level:
with the smaller one (from the jasperreport-functions-dependency) containing the following lines:
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.registry.factory.functions=net.sf.jasperreports.functions.FunctionsRegistryFactory
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.functions.datetime=net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.DateTimeFunctions
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.functions.math=net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.MathFunctions, net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.LogicalFunctions
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.functions.text=net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.TextFunctions
net.sf.jasperreports.extension.functions.report=net.sf.jasperreports.functions.standard.ReportFunctions
Funnily enough, commenting out TEXT, running it locally with gradle run, it works without problems. But packaging it and running it with java -jar it fails to find this function. And statically importing this function leads to gradle run failing as well.
What is happening and how can I fix this? I want to distribute my FatJar on a server and run it, but this problems makes it impossible for me.

Run an ABCL code that uses cl-cppre

With reference to my previous question,
Executing a lisp function from Java
I was able to call lisp code from Java using ABCL.
But the problem is, the already existing lisp code uses CL-PPCRE package.
I can not compile the code as it says 'CL-PPCRE not found'.
I have tried different approaches to add that package,
including
1) how does one compile a clisp program which uses cl-ppcre?
2)https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cl-ppcre/juSfOhEDa1k
Doesnot work!
Other thing is, that executing (compile-file aima.asd) works perfectly fine although it does also require cl-pprce
(defpackage #:aima-asd
(:use :cl :asdf))
(in-package :aima-asd)
(defsystem aima
:name "aima"
:version "0.1"
:components ((:file "defpackage")
(:file "main" :depends-on ("defpackage")))
:depends-on (:cl-ppcre))
The final java code is
interpreter.eval("(load \"aima/asdf.lisp\")");
interpreter.eval("(compile-file \"aima/aima.asd\")");
interpreter.eval("(compile-file \"aima/defpackage.lisp\")");
interpreter.eval("(in-package :aima)");
interpreter.eval("(load \"aima/aima.lisp\")");
interpreter.eval("(aima-load 'all)");
The error message is
Error loading C:/Users/Administrator.NUIG-1Z7HN12/workspace/aima/probability/domains/edit-nets.lisp at line 376 (offset 16389)
#<THREAD "main" {3A188AF2}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type READER-ERROR
The package "CL-PPCRE" can't be found.
[1] AIMA(1):
Can anyone help me?
You need to load cl-ppcre before you can use it. You can do that by using (asdf:load-system :aima), provided that you put both aima and cl-ppcre into locations that your ASDF searches.
I used QuickLisp to add cl-ppcre (because nothing else worked for me).
Here is what I did
(load \"~/QuickLisp.lisp\")")
(quicklisp-quickstart:install)
(load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp")
(ql:quickload :cl-ppcre)
First 2 lines are only a one time things. Once quickLisp is installed you can start from line 3.

I have no idea about what I'm doing wrong. Any Ideas?
Thanks you a lot.
I looked at the top line on your exception, and see com.hp.hpl.jena.ontology.impl.TransitivePropertyImpl.
Googling for that leads to a version of the source code. It may not be exactly the same version as you're using, but is probably close enough to be informative. Reading the code leads to these questions:
Does your Model have a profile? It must.
Does the profile support Transitivity? It must.
Are you combining Transitive with something else that it's incompatible with?

Why doesn't printStackTrace work in Clojure?

In both the Joy of Clojure and on Alex Miller's Pure Danger Tech blog-post it is recommended that you can print the last stack using something like the following:
(use 'clojure.stacktrace)
(java.util.Date. "foo")
(.printStackTrace *e 5)
But I can't get any of their examples to work, and instead just get
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
Reflector.java:26 clojure.lang.Reflector.invokeInstanceMethod
(Unknown Source) jtown$eval9755.invoke
What's up with this? .printStackTrace seems to be a Java function from the looks of it, so I am not sure why I am bringing clojure.stacktrace into my namespace, in the first place. I read through the clojure.stacktrace API, though, and see an e function, which seems similar too but is not the *e function, which is in core and is supposed to be binding to the last exception, but isn't. Could somebody straighten me out on the best way to check stack-traces?
There are some special vars available when using the REPL and
*e - holds the result of the last exception.
For instance:
core=> (java.util.Date. "foo")
IllegalArgumentException java.util.Date.parse (Date.java:615)
core=> (class *e)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
core=> (.printStackTrace *e)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at java.util.Date.parse(Date.java:615)
<not included.....>
You are right, .printStackTrace is the java method that is invoked on the exception class. This is not very straightforward (since its java interop) so clojure.stacktrace namespace has some utilities about working with stack traces
So after
(use 'clojure.stacktrace)
you can use the stacktrace library instead of java interop:
core=> (print-stack-trace *e)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null
at java.util.Date.parse (Date.java:615)
<not included.....>
Obviously in an app, instead of *e, you can do a try - catch and use the related functions as necessary
I use
(.printStackTrace *e *out*)
That seems to work.

setVerboseLoggingEnabled(boolean) is undefined for the type Cast.CastOptions.Builder

I am using the CastCompanionLibrary-android and it is throwing the following error all of a sudden. Any ideas ?
The method setVerboseLoggingEnabled(boolean) is undefined for the type
Cast.CastOptions.Builder VideoCastManager.java
/CastCompanionLibrary-android/src/com/google/sample/castcompanionlibrary/cast
Its shows taht this method does infact exist in :
http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/cast/Cast.CastOptions.Builder.html
But when I drill into CastOptions it is no longer there.
Its seems I did an update with the Android SDK manager, but neglected to replace the old jar with the newly update jar.
Did this and it fixed the issue :)
