JDBC Driver with PostgreSQL and Pentaho - postgresql

Situation:
I'm using PostgreSQL 9.1 and now I'm using Pentaho Report Designer to create reports from a data warehouse stored on a database. This database is named bd-datawarehouse.
The problem I have is when I try to create a connection from the Pentaho Report Designer to bd-datawarehouse database. I've configured all the settings and everything seems correct, like the next image:
but when I click the Test button, it gives me the next error:
Error connecting to database [conexion-dw-reporting] : org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleDatabaseException:
Error occured while trying to connect to the database
Exception while loading class

You must know that all fields of settings are right (database name, port number, host name, user name and password).
Seeing the error, I've thought that the problem could be that I haven't the jdbc driver to connect a PostgreSQL database, so I've looked for it and I've done like the accepted answer of this question said: I've downloaded the driver for my postgresql 9.2 from here and I've put it on ...\biserver-ce\tomcat\lib\, but the problem persists.
I don't know how to solve it, because I don't understand so deeply which is the problem.
Any help would be appreciated!


report-designer\lib\jdbc\
or
bd-datawarehouse\lib\jdbc\
You need to place the appropriate jdbc jar file to above path. then you need to restart the pentaho reporting tool. It might be work. Its working for me.


I've downloaded the last version of the PostgreSQL JDBC 4.2 Driver and input it on the lib folder of the Database connection program, it worked for me :)

This issue is due to the Usage of JMeter 2.11 with Java 8.
JMeter is compatible with Java 8 only starting from JMeter 2.12, so you need to upgrade to JMeter 2.12 and even better to most recent supported version of JMeter which is as of this writing JMeter 2.13.

Exception running application application.Agenda1

To run your application with the Agenda custom control from JFXtras, besides jfxtras-agenda-8.0-r3.jar you need to add also to your classpath:
jfxtras-common-8.0-r3.jar
jfxtras-controls-8.0-r3.jar
Both are available at Maven central.

Exception running application FXMLExample.FXMLExample
I think I have failed the java installtion some how. I am using java jre1.8.0_20

Ok! no problem with the java installation.
Just make sure to have the right addressing to you Controller class.
sorry about the bad question but I'm gonna leave it up, for now.

setAssociatedAction() and setAssociatedScreen() not working

I'm developing some custom screens and custom actions and would like to create associations between them in much the same way that adding a "Create program group" screen suggests adding a "Create program group" action.
So I have a screen, and would like to associate an action with it. The action should be placed on the Installation screen. Within the screens bean info class, I've added the following line to the constructor:
setAssociatedAction(MyAction.class.getName(), InstallationScreen.class.getName());
This doesn't seem to do anything. I recompile, and re-add the screen to the installer, but it doesn't prompt me to add the action. I tried adding the same settings to the action's constructor, thinking that perhaps both need to create an association with each other to work:
setAssociatedScreen(MyScreen.class.getName());
setInstallerTargetScreen(InstallationScreen.class.getName());
It didn't help either. I even tried doing the reverse by creating the action to see if it requests that the screen be created as well, but no luck there. Luckily, setting the installer target screen worked as expected.
I've tried the following as well:
Simple and canonical names for the class name.
The bean info classes, just incase.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, if I am doing anything wrong. The documentation doesn't elude to any additional dependencies:
ScreenBeanInfo
ActionBeanInfo
Hopefully this isn't a bug.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I was about to resolve this, but only as an extension to install4j. I used the wrong class when specifying the Bean class in the BeanInfo.
I had:
public MyActionBeanInfo() {
super("Title", "Description", "Category", false, true, null, MyActionBeanInfo.class);
}
Instead of:
public MyActionBeanInfo() {
super("Title", "Description", "Category", false, true, null, MyAction.class);
}
As a small enhancement, would it be possible to throw an exception, perhaps an IllegalArgumentException, from the super constructor if it is not a valid Bean class?
BUT!
I still received a ClassNotFound and NullPointer exception when not used as an extension.

This is a bug in install4j. Associated screens and actions cannot be loaded if the bean is added on the Installer->Custom code & Resources tab.
This will be fixed in 5.1.7.
