How to set image path in a web application

[emrizwan]

Hi,

I am using ireport 4.

I've created a report with an image. this image is located at my local C drive.

I am calling this report from a web application.

How can I set the image path to look at my applications root and not from my local machine?

 

thanks

You need to push that image into JasperReports Server and reference it in your report as a repository resource from the server.

You can use your web server to host your web content. All you need to do is to create a sub folder in your web application root and drop your image file to that folder, then reference this image in your report through an absolute domain name path.

 

For exmple, drop your image file "image1.jpg" to ..webappsjasperserver-proimages folder, then use the following image reference in your report:

http://your_domain.com:8080/jasperserver-pro/images/image1.jpg[/code]

I've found a workaroun for this where I don't need to install report server.

I've created a parameter pImagePath and set  the image expression property as $P{pImagePath}.

From my web application (ADF application) I am passing value to this variable as

filePath=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath("/images/company_logo.png");

and in the reprt paramaters.

 m.put("pImagePath",filePath);

 

hope this helps.
