I've read a few posts on how to put images in reports, but I'm still confused. I'm a bit new to iReports, so I don't really know exactly what I'm doing.

 

I want an image in the header path, and the image is in the working directory of the report, but I don't know how to code the form to pull the image from the server.

 

What do I have to do to get the image to display?

 

Thanks!

You can create a parameter to receive de path and the name of the image, so you can use this parameter as the source of the image object.

I understand how to create a new paramater, but I don't know what to put in the options.

In the "Image Expression" of the image object simply put the $P{} like this:

 

$P{LogoPicture}

 

when you build in java, pass something like :

 

"c:\templates\Logos\Logo.gif"

 

where Logo.gif is the image you want to display.

 

Note you should get the File Separator from java for the operating system you are using to build this path.

 

to test in iReport set the parameters default value to this path...

 

"c:\templates\Logos\Logo.gif"

 

 

luck

Alright.

I've set my image paramter as $P{LOGO_PATH} and inside paramater's value is "T:\asf_small.jpg" but I still get 3 errors compiling.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?
