Question: I tried to create a PDF report, but I got an error message. What should I do?
Answer:The error message
Bad mojo:java.net.UnknownHostException:localhost sounds confusing, but actually points to some missing values in your TCP/IP configuration. To correct this, we need to review the default TCP/IP settings.
First, go to "Configure TCP/IP" menu by typing CFGTCP on command line. From there, we'll first choose option one, "Work with TCP/IP interfaces." Make sure you have a line with the description "LOOPBACK" that looks like this:
Internet Subnet Line Line
Address Mask Description Type
127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 *LOOPBACK *NONE
Now, return to the Configure TCP/IP menu and selection option ten, "Work with TCP/IP host table entries." Make sure you have a LOOPBACK host name entry like this one:
Internet Host
Address Name
127.0.0.1 LOOPBACK
LOCALHOST
After making these changes, just recompile your application and your PDF report will be created.
