Including Images in Report

2005-09-16 08:28

I'm trying to include an image in a report. The image came from a database as a BLOB object. I converted it into a byte array, and then constructed a ByteArrayInputStream. The field in the report is declared as a java.io.InputStream. When I run the report, I get an IOException: jva.awt.Image fetch aborted or errored.

 

Anybody know what my problem is and how to solve it?

Hi,

 

I would let JasperReports do all the work and not deal

with any ByteArrayIntpuStream manually.

 

If your column in the database is of type BLOB, then

the report field could be declared as java.awt.Image directly.

 

Make sure the image is of supported image types like

JPG, GIF and PNG. Not BMP or other image types

that require special image libraries to be handled in Java.

 

I hope this helps.
