Need help! Adding Images to Report

[eazydi]

Hi ho,

i've got a big problem with adding images.

First: I'm a big noob in developing reports with IReport and i try it out for the first time...so please excuse stupid questions (and also my bad english *cough*)  /tools/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif.

Step by Step:

I add an Image to my Report and insert an absolute path in the picture properties (e.g. "C:\Bilder\Logo.jpg" )

First question: is this the right expression for a file path? In my IReport everythings fine...i can see the Logo in the image frame.

However...when i print my report, there's an errormessage in my App like: 'FOP: Byte data not found at location: C.BilderLogo.jpg' ... unfortunately i dunno how i can handle this Error.

I hope you can help a noob out... /tools/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif

Actually yes, the line of path  you use for the image is fine. Here's a path I use for an image and it works perfectly E:\\Users\\Isabel\\Documents\\Kitty.JPG

In the other hand if the Image is really in that location I don'tknow what is the reason for the error. You can try passig the image path as a report parameter. You create a parameter and put it as variable expression of the image. Later you can pass the address from your application before send to print the report .

Hey imeza,

first...thanx for help!

i've tried it out the way you've explained it to me but there is still the same problem.

I add a report parameter with the filepath (just the Path, not the File) as default value. 

Then i add an image to my report... $P{PARAMETERNAME} + "Logo.jpg".

Same errormessage : Byte data not found at location: C.\\Bilder\\Logo.jpg\

Is there a special place where the images must be stored on the server?

Hi,

Why dont you try defining your image class as "java.io.InputStream"  instead of byte.

Hey ho... thanx for helping me out...

Got it! The way i've tried it out was right but the Image-path was totaly wrong ;-) I've changed the Path and now it works fine!

Thanx Imeza for the image parameter hint...thats nice
