I want to structure Smalltalk objects so they will marshal to XML for JasperReports. To learn about this process, it seemed straightforward to start with a sample JasperReport and unmarshal it back to Smalltalk. I was able to get a bare-bones report to work, but as soon as I added a complex relationship (<background> with a child of <band>) I got a walkback of "Unhandled exception: WebServices.MissingValueSignal".
Below is my code. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Paul
