Oracle Image BLOB

[ckell]

Another Newbie question.  Using iReport 3.0.

I'm trying to render an image onto a report, and the image source is an Oracle BLOB.

I've read many post on the subject, and I must be missing something, or I've confused myself.

My report currently contains 3 items.  The BLOB field, a description field and an image field.

From other posts I see that I should change the TextField and Image field's expression class to java.io.inputStream.  I've done this for Image, but can not locate this value in TextField.  The textfield's drop-down contains things like java.lang, java.math, java.util, and java.sql.  But no java.io's.  What have I done wrong?

thanks
