[Php-java-bridge-users] Trying to access Jasper Reports from PHP

Hi everyone.  I'm running the following code:

compileReport("/alfweb/demo.jrxml");
	if (is_null (java_values ($jasperReport))) {echo "jasperReport is NULL\n";}

    	$jasperPrintClass = new JavaClass("net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager");
	if (is_null (java_values ($jasperPrintClass))) {echo "jasperPrintClass is NULL\n";}

	$hMap = new Java("java.util.HashMap");
	if (is_null (java_values ($hMap))) {echo "hMap is NULL\n";}

	$dataSource = new Java("net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JREmptyDataSource");
	if (is_null (java_values ($dataSource))) {echo "dataSource is NULL\n";}

	$jasperPrint = $jasperPrintClass->fillReport($jasperReport, $hMap, $dataSource);

	$JasperExportManagerClass = new JavaClass("net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperExportManager");
	$JasperExportManagerClass->exportReportToPdfFile($jasperPrint, "/alfweb/simple_report_from_php.pdf");
  
	echo "End of phpjasper.php";

} catch (JavaException $ex) {
  	echo "An exception occured: "; echo $ex; echo "\n";
}

?>

>From a command prompt I run:  php5 phpjasper.php

And I get:

Start of phpjasper.php
An exception occured: [[o:Exception]:"java.lang.Exception: Invoke failed: [[c:JasperFillManager]]->fillReport((o:JasperReport)[o:JasperReport], (i:Map)[o:HashMap], (i:JRDataSource)[o:JREmptyDataSource]). Cause: java.lang.NullPointerException VM: 1.5.0@http://gcc.gnu.org/java/" at:

#8 /alfweb/phpjasper.php(28): JavaClass->fillReport(Object(java_InternalJava), Object(Java), Object(Java))

I'm running PHP 5.2.5, php-java-bridge 5.2.1, and Jasperreports 2.0.5

I'm new to all of this :( and any help would be much appreciated.
