Images in JAR - How?

2003-03-17 02:36

Hi,

how can I reference an image in a jar when the compiles report is in the same jar??

TIA.

Hi,

 

You use paths relative to the root of the JAR,

knowing that the engine searches for the images

as resources in the classpath.

 

I hope this helps.

Hi Teodor,

structure of my client.jar:

config

de/wilsoncom/......

img

report_templates

 

I tried using path relative to root of jar in the compiled report:

"..//img//logo.gif"

 

and still got an error message.

 

Any ideas?

TIA.

Hi,

 

Why do you put double slashes?

Try this:

 

"img/logo.gif"

 

I hope this helps.

Hi Teodor,

it now works. ("img/logo.gif").

I read somewhere in this forum that you needed double slashes because of the esc-char - but that is of course and not /.

 

Thanks anyway.
