Compiling Jasper Reports when Deployed to Tomcat 8 - spring-mvc

Question

Having issues using the JasperCompileManager.compileReport(myReport); when having a Simple Spring MVC Application deployed in Tomcat8.
Including the following dependencies :
....Spring Dependencies 4.1.6 Release...
<dependency>
<groupId>tomcat</groupId>
<artifactId>jasper-compiler-jdt</artifactId>
<version>5.5.15</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId>
<artifactId>jasperreports</artifactId>
<version>5.6.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
I have a controller endpoint calling the following code in a Service class. (The code passes Unit & Integration Tests outside of the web app.)
public JasperReport getJasperReport(String filePath)
{
try {
// File f = new File(filePath);
File tmpFile = new File("C:\\myReport.jrxml");
return fromFile(tmpFile);
} catch (JRException ex) {
log.error(MyAppService.class.getName(),ex);
}
return null;
}
private JasperReport fromFile(File f) throws JRException {
JasperDesign jd;
JasperReport jr = null;
jd = JRXmlLoader.load(f);
jr = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jd);
return jr;
}
Getting the following Exception when calling the endpoint.
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -2

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

If you have aspectjtools.jar in your classpath, can you try compiling it by removing it from the classpath?
